On FOX NEWS SUNDAY, a good review of the many mistakes
made, as those in charge speak disingenuously
as each puts the blame elsewhere,
if the risk is considered at all.
Judge Jenkins (Dallas) is proud he used no protective
gear, and did it because “(he cared) about their safety”. ?
He was reassured that he was “safe” without citing a source.
The Judge cannot see a virus risk, only heroes,
and he says all are “safe” including first responders
without protective gear. ??
“There is panic out there, but there are lot of heroes”.
He confuses “monitoring twice a day” with protection,
and ends with a smile.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious disease chief
at the National Institutes of Health
On the Dallas pt: “(He is getting) good critical care”.
“ZMAPP is not available.”
He knows nothing personally about this case, he admits.
He says he has “no privy knowledge”.
[Why is he talking, then?]
In general, he says, just monitor twice a day,
and then isolate.
He “does not know” percentages, but then gives
percentages to attempt to assuage fear.
Q: British airlines suspended all flights, should we?
Fauci: “No. Isolation makes unrest in other countries”.
[He cares about Africa incredibly. US? Not so much.]
Q: 10K people have flown out, and only 2 have been screened. How effective is that?
Fauci: “(One only needs to) Do an exit screen.
You will not be 100% risk free.” [He does not care].
Q: Regarding spread:
He claims that when you are not symptomatic you
cannot spread (ignoring sexual transmission, ignoring
latent disease, ignoring persistent disease,
ignoring filovirus in fomites, ignoring its latency
in other primates, etc.).
Q: What about the southern border?
He is not worried, more worried about Africa
and global warming.
Q: How long are (Ebola) fluids infectious?
Fauci: “We don’t know. ... You can get it from funerals
by touching the body. “
[This makes many of his other comments disingenuous].
Q: You say there is no air transmission, but others (disagree)
Fauci: “I am loathe to discuss it publicly.
... Anything can happen ... It is extremely rare.”
[Equivocation, denial, and attention is directed
to the fact that: EV-68 was once “rare”, too. ]
Excellant thorough post!
Its not airborne, well, maybe , its rare, but its not airborne, only rarely.....HUH?
as Obama says.....” IF YOU LIKE YOUR EBOLA, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR EBOLA! PERIOD!”
Clay Jenkins was the one that wanted 2000 illegal children to come to Dallas but never once mentioned the diseases and health problems that could affect AMERICAN citizens in Dallas. He is not to be trusted on anything. He’s a big Obama supporter so he knows how to conceal the truth as all dems do.
Sounds to me like Fauci doesn’t know jack squat about Ebola. Just making it up as he goes. I don’t trust anyone that works for Obama.
