CDC Director Frieden: If the US Bans Travel From West Africa Ebola Will Spread (Liberal Logic)
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 10-14-2014 | Jim Hoft

CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden went on The Kelly File to discuss the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the US. Frieden argued that a US travel ban on the Ebola inflicted countries would cause the disease to spread.

Dr. Tom Frieden: “Above all do no harm. If we do things that make it harder to stop the epidemic there it’s going to spread to other parts of the continent…

Megyn Kelly: How’s it going to make it harder to stop?

Dr. Tom Frieden: Because you can’t get people in and out.

Megyn Kelly: Why can’t we have charter flights?

Dr. Tom Frieden: You know, charter flights don’t do the same thing commercial airlines do.

Megyn Kelly: What do you mean, they fly in and fly out?…

Dr. Tom Frieden: If we isolate these countries, what’s not going to happen is the disease staying there. It will spread more, all over Africa and we’ll be at higher risk.

That doesn’t make sense.

Stopping flights from West Africa will spread Ebola—this is sheer derangement. The guy needs to be in a straitjacket.

Yep, Freiden has the mental disease: liberalism.

The wimpy response to Ebola is hurting the Democrats, where there are close Senatorial races, including in two states adjacent to Texas: Arkansas and Louisiana. If more people on the watch list in Dallas become infected, public reaction will be severe and the public will blame those in power, who are Democrats. If the poll numbers for Landrieu, Pryor, and others start falling, watch the CDC and State Department ban travel to Liberia and nearby African countries. The Democrats have already abandoned Alison Grimes in her race against Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. They have to hold the Senate seats in Arkansas and Louisiana for any hope of retaining a majority.

No one is calling for a cessation of help from health care workers who want to volunteer to go help. The controversy is over allowing people in who are carriers of the disease. The American soldiers who were ordered to the area did not use a commercial carrier.

Treating Ebola will make the virus angry and it will spread faster!

Liberal Logic.

Dear CDC Assh0le,

YOU CAN STILL FLY OUR PEOPLE OVER THERE WITHOUT LETTING THEIR PEOPLE FLY OVER HERE.

YOUR ARGUMENT IS A PITIFUL LIE.

YOU ARE DISGUSTING.

There is no reason to allow flights from there to here.

None.

Frieden has it soooooooooooo backwards that one wonders
how many have been hurt from him already, in his
“medical” practice.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

I've read articles trying to explain why these liberal "scientists" do not want a ban and I can see why they believe a ban won't help; they have brainwashed themselves into thinking this way. They fill their own heads conflating real and unreal one sided statistics, and leave out any contrary information. They read any data by their own world view; and then expect people to accept it because they are "informed", shutting down any opposing view.

But then again, that IS liberal logic! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE THINK - JUST INDOCTRINATE!

This mental giant (one of the “smart” Obolaites) just can’t figure out how it would be possible to fly US citizens helping Liberia with Ebola to and fro on non-commercial flights. Better to bankrupt US hospitals and risk US life. That will help Africa’s problems.

There IS no reason to allow the flights, but it's important to UNDERSTAND why our leaders (Republican and Democrat) are so fixated on this, and why, short of a military coup in the US, they won't be stopped. On October 1, 2014, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published an opinion paper co-authored by Ezekiel Emanuel, M.D., Rahm's brother and an important Obama adviser in his own right. It was titled "Why Should High-Income Countries Help Fight Ebola", and it contained the following language:

""...there are obligations of global justice to combat Ebola and strengthen health systems and infrastructure in affected countries in the longer term. Advocates of so-called cosmopolitanism - a key position in the philosophical debate about global justice - argue that national borders have no significance and that all people, regardless of where they live, are entitled to the same education, health care services, and other social resources..."

The people in power have been creating a borderless world for at least sixty years. They have achieved functional borderlessness in the USA, using the covert revolutionary tactic "think of it always, speak of it never". Most Americans still believe we have the ability to close our borders on short notice, when clearly we do not.

In any event, Obama, his HHS secretary, his Labor secretary, his acting Surgeon General, his CDC Director - all of them would DIE before they agreed to stop the flights, because doing it would affirm our borders as actual physical objects and demonstrate that it could be done, and they are mortally opposed to both of those things.

The POTUS is on the golf course, or at a $30K plate fundraiser or sleepin in til Reggie comes knockin. But he's absolutely at the center of this joke of a response from CDC. Frieden's continued adherence to this tortured, ridiculous excuse for keeping our borders open comes straight from Obama.

IMHO, Frieden doesn't believe any of the nonsense he's parroting. He's simply sold his soul.

Your post makes sense of the senseless.

The benign explanation for this madness is that these people are incompetent. And its a tempting conclusion, because stupidity is so much easier to accept than cold, steadfast willingness to sacrifice so many innocent lives to The Cause.

If this blowhard thinks he's a ‘citizen of the world’ and that all countries are his responsibility then he needs to quit his lowly job at the CDC and apply for one with ‘THE WORLD’ - whatever the hell country that is...

Here's how it works - if Americans are killed off we can't save others. Western cultures are the people who do the saving - the giving..

When was the last time anyone heard of a bunch of Africans suiting up and going to some foreign country to help with earthquake relief - - or anything helping others? Frieden needs to do his job and protect Americans... if he can't do that he needs to quit.

This exchange had me floored:

KELLY: But I looked at the website and it says, you are only supposed to wear one pair of gloves. And it says, you don’t have to cover your head, you know, head gear, head cover, and you don’t have to cover your feet. Now, wouldn’t you admit that that is insufficient?

FRIEDEN: No. We know how Ebola spreads. It spreads by direct contact. And you know, sometimes more isn’t better. You put on more layers, you put on more things, they’re harder to get on. They’re harder to get off.

KELLY: Really?

FRIEDEN: Yes, really.

KELLY: You would go into a highly infected Ebola patient’s room without covering your head, with only wearing one pair of gloves and with your feet exposed? You would do that?

FRIEDEN: Absolutely. More is not always better. Better is better. Sometimes you put on more layers, it’s harder to put on, harder to take off, you increase your risk of exposure. That’s what the science tells us.

This MOFO is one dangerous Turd
