Vanity : CDC Tom Freiden Kelly File : No need for protective head gear when treating ebola patient

Kelly file ^ | Oct 15,2014 | Nlz

[NoLibZone]

CDC no head gear needed

On the Kelley files Tom Frieden said the need for protective head gear was unnecessary !!!!!

Duncan was projectile vomiting yet the Obama admin says no need for face shield or any googles or head gear of any kind needed !!!!!!!!

"We know how ebola spreads" , he kept repeating.

Transcript:

KELLY: OK. But when I look at the CDC's website, it says that when you're putting on the protective gear as the medical personnel, and you know that the nurses have come out and complained that in some of these hospitals, they're just posting it on the bulletin board. "Hey, check the CDC's website to figure out how to deal with Ebola." And the nurses are saying, "Really? A life and death matter for me? This is insufficient."

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.

Friden is a modern day Lysenko and an Obama acolyte. His “science” conforms to Obama’s one world/ no borders ideology and delusions.

[TigerClaws]

Too much gear is ineffective...

Keeping people coming from infected nations to the United States will cause it to spread...

You can’t catch it on a bus but you can spread it on a bus...

Apparently Logic 101 was not a requirement for the CDC Director position.

[TexasCajun]

Seems we have a White Joyce Elder at CDC.

Blah blah blah blah blah...


Ramirez's latest political cartoon LARGE VERSION 10/14/2014: LINK  LINK to regular sized version of Ramirez's latest, and an archive of his political cartoons.
In this political cartoon, Ramirez presents, "Finally!  Obama is requested to campaign for a Democrat."

FReepers, 18% of the FReepathon goal has been met.  Please click above and pencil in your donation now.  Lets retire this effort early this quarter. Thank you!
...this is a general all purpose message, and should not be seen as targeting any individual I am responding to...

"We know how ebola spreads" , he kept repeating.

Through arrogance, presumption and ineptitude?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Frieden’s signature accomplishment is something called Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP). The article at the link seems to call into question the ethics behind the program. Don’t know if the protocol is the same Frieden developed.

After making statements like this, it is obvious Frieden’s head gear is missing....

[mountainlion]

No football player then should need headgear.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Been treating Ebola for decades...

No consideration that a virus can mutate.

[Huntress]

This guy does not inspire confidence.

After reading the things he has said in the past few days I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I must have woke up in a alternate universe at some point. Please say that is so.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta disagrees! http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/10/15/sanjay_gupta_to_dallas_hospital_its_not_that_challenging_wash_your_hands.html

[blondee123]

Can we PLEASE get all the idiots out of the country & let some actual experts manage this?

[LucianOfSamasota]

The Canadians ‘know’ differently than the CDC:

MODE OF TRANSMISSION: In an outbreak, it is hypothesized that the first patient becomes infected as a result of contact with an infected animal. Person-to-person transmission occurs via close personal contact with an infected individual or their body fluids during the late stages of infection or after death. Nosocomial infections can occur through contact with infected body fluids for example due to the reuse of unsterilized syringes, needles, or other medical equipment contaminated with these fluids. Humans may be infected by handling sick or dead non-human primates and are also at risk when handling the bodies of deceased humans in preparation for funerals.

In laboratory settings, non-human primates exposed to aerosolized ebolavirus from pigs have become infected, however, airborne transmission has not been demonstrated between non-human primates. Viral shedding has been observed in nasopharyngeal secretions and rectal swabs of pigs following experimental inoculation.

The country would be vastly smaller if we did that.

You guys don’t be too hard on Frieden, he has his problems too. He has enough trouble deciding which wine to serve in his Buckhead penthouse or Dunwoody mansion here in the ATL, and besides it’s so tiring showing for concern for the little people when you’re an important guy like he is.

#FireFrieden....Immediately.
