Obama choreographed hug with Ebola victim
The Washington Times ^ | October 24, 2014 | Kevin Rogers

Posted on 10/25/2014 8:28:18 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

President Obama is usually “not interested in photo ops,” but apparently he made an exception for Friday’s good news that Nina Pham, the first Dallas nurse who contracted Ebola, is now virus-free.

Mr. Obama and Ms. Pham shared an embrace in the Oval Office, certainly a reassuring image for Ebola-panicked Americans.

But according to still photographers on the scene, his hug with Ms. Pham was staged.

It was so obvious, even I called it on a vanity thread yesterday.

His entire “presidency” has been staged.

learned it was a closely related condition after she’d been cracked up to actually have EBOLA

The "closely related" ailments are no joke. Maybe a little less contagious, a little safer to study, but that's it.

It's absurd to suggest that she didn't have Ebola.

You’re an epidemiological expert? Are you saying Duncan died from Marburg?

Misleading, dishonest and untruthful - Needs to be corrected:

"President Obama usually pretends he is “not interested in photo ops”

Fixed it. Much more truthful.

If for some reason I did something newsworthy and had fifteen minutes of fame, I’d never allow myself to be used as a prop for any politician.

Wasn’t it a couple of weeks? And she was caught well before the hemorrhagic phase and received antibodies from Brantly. Entirely reasonable that it was stopped before it progressed too far.

Brantly entered the hemorrhagic phase and it took a bit more time before he recovered.

I have been reading the “Hot Zone” book and they can test to a specific strain of the virus, so no, it wouldn’t be a related virus. They can determine if it is Ebola Zaire/Ebola Sudan/Marburg.

Watch him in the video clip with Bergdahl’s mommie when he, she, and Bergdahl’s daddy made that appearance to announce baby Bergdahl’s release. He seemed quite cozy with the Mrs. B., and all too “familiar,” if you “ax” me.

I confess that this story astonishes me.

Not that it happened, but that it was reported.

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...

...the guy who accepted his party's nomination on a stage surrounded by impressive Greek columns...

That set reminded me of the Nuremburg rally with Adolf, something straight out of Triumph of the Will (Classic Propaganda, if ever there was any.)

Marburg is not milder than Ebola, Marburg is the one that turns internal organs to mush and virus and has a 90+% kill rate. It is Ebola’s wicked cousin.

Any person looking at the photos could tell the nurse did not like being touched by Obama.

EEK! I thought the exact opposite was true.
I have heard that there are at least five basic types of Ebola. So maybe Miss Nina got a whiff of the weakest brand.
If she ever had this at all. CDC won’t be doing that kind of second guessing. Their reputation is already in tatters, like President O.
