CDC Chief: Why I don't support a travel ban to combat Ebola outbreak {Deadly PC BS Alert}
foxnews.com ^ | October 9, 2014 | Tom Frieden, CDC Director

Posted on 10/10/2014 4:55:16 AM PDT by drpix

The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States has caused some to call on the United States to ban travel for anyone from the countries in West Africa facing the worst of the Ebola epidemic....

We don't want to isolate parts of the world, or people who aren't sick, because that's going to drive patients with Ebola underground, making it infinitely more difficult to address the outbreak...

A travel ban is not the right answer. It’s simply not feasible to build a wall – virtual or real – around a community, city, or country. A travel ban would essentially quarantine the more than 22 million people that make up the combined populations of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.

When a wildfire breaks out we don't fence it off. We go in to extinguish it before one of the random sparks sets off another outbreak somewhere else.

"When a wildfire breaks out we don't fence it off."

What does he think "firelines" and "control lines" are if not the two primary tactics to control wildfires by "fencing" them in?

I fear he knows as little about pandemic disease control as he does abot wildfire control.

But he does have his politically corrected globalist bullshit line perfectly. Perfect to kill untolled Americans on its alter.

And yet, he banned tobacco in New York completely
including in bars and private locations.

CDC Chief’s Goals:

Tobacco = bad, stop it at all costs

Ebola = good, desired. Will bring more $$$$$ to CDC.

Every sentence in this steaming pile of BS contradicts the others. This man’s most apparent qualification for this office is that he can lie like a rug. Treasonous scum. Each and every one of these scammers.

“Because I don’t think America is special, or worth protecting”

Frankly.

THAT is what they think.

Can you imagine FDR saying he can’t send soldiers to Germany because “there is a travel ban and they won’t be able to come back”? This BS makes about as much sense.

Simply money before safety. He has no reason to care for people’s interest. Money he understands...

There are two reasons: 1) The left as a whole is incompetent 2) They want this disaster to happen. Perhaps for numerous reasons, but they are going out of their way to encourage the problem, not to fix it.

Living in Atlanta, the home of the CDC where a lot of people are employed, I was chatting with one of the girls(and I must admit to heresay here) but she said one of the “higher up” officials admitted on the qt that more than likely, it is airborne as well.

The stupid. The stupid burns. His explanations are so ridiculously stupid they defy logic. We build firelines to prevent them from spreading. If a fire is out of control firefighters prevent it from spreading. How is banning people from travelling outside of ebola countries going to drive patients underground??? Is he admitting they WILL be jumping on a plane? All Obama supporters are complete morons. If they still support him now they are beyond redemption.

“they won’t be able to come back”

That’s right. They can restrict commercial passenger travel without restricting supplies and medics. Just use military flights for that purpose. Medics can return on those flights.

The other advantage of allowing military flights is that, if it really gets out of control, they can drop an incendiary device.

Doesn’t support a travel ban?
I thought most of us on the right are demanding quarantine procedures for those coming into the US from infected areas.

How is rational quarantine precautions “a ban?”

If this idiot was in charge of firefighting whole cities would burn down.

Of course you contain and isolate a fire and try to extinguish it. These are not mutually exclusive as this idiot seems to think.

For centuries people with infectious diseases were screened and isolated. If this idiot thinks we should not do that then he should be replaced.

I dunno y'all, but all this Ebola coverage feels like a smoke a mirrors cover for something else.

I may end up eatin crow on this one, but something is not right. Almost as if the socialist are teaming up with the MSM to divert Americans attention.

Have not put my finger on it yet, but gotta funny feeling.

We await the first person in the media whether it be conservative media or other to say this is on purpose to create unrest via the illegal immigration bringing Enter0virus and Eb0la to our shores with PURPOSE and MALICE to not be able to seat incoming senators and such...armed personnel carriers? 5 billion bullets?

Closest thing we got was on Rush, 10/9 show, a caller introduced the idea...God help us...

“He thwarts the hands of the crafty so their plans achieve no success.”

I absolutely do believe this is the goal.

Really, and what does he mean by drive them underground?

They don’t know they are sick until they have symptoms and then they become critically sick. How underground are they going to get? Lie on a travel form about being exposed?

But a city-wide ban on secondary smoke makes sense to this man who set the health policies for Bloomberg. Transfats? 32oz sodas? All totally banned...but no prob letting Ebola infected people into the USA. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
