CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever and was told she was OK to board.
The CDC needs a total overhaul. No more fat lesbian lesbian studies.
Even if he is removed, he will be replaced with another Obama sycophant who will faithfully repeat whatever the WH tells him/her.
Center for Disease Circulation.
From the report at the link above:
“CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever.
“This nurse, Nurse Vinson, did in fact call the CDC several times before taking that flight and said she has a temperature, a fever of 99.5, and the person at the CDC looked at a chart and because her temperature wasn’t 100.4 or higher she didn’t officially fall into the category of high risk.”
So you have to ask, where did CBS’s Dr. LaPook get this story?

FLASHBACK: President Obama to meet with Emory Healthcare team during Ebola visit
Emory Report ^ | Sep. 15, 2014 | Laura Douglas-Brown
President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with Ebola experts from Emory as part of his Sept. 16 visit to Atlanta.
The president will visit the federal Centers for Disease Control & Prevention for an update on the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa and the U.S. response to it.
During Tuesday’s visit, Obama will meet with Emory University Hospital physicians as well as other healthcare workers involved with the treatment of Ebola patients here.
“Just when we thought our time in the spotlight had reached a crescendo, we are now being acknowledged with a special visit by President Barack Obama,” John Fox, president and CEO of Emory Healthcare, said in statement to Emory Healthcare employees on Monday afternoon.
Obama will visit the CDC “to thank the CDC and our Emory Healthcare team for their efforts in assisting the international Ebola crisis,” Fox said, praising the “heroic work” of Emory Healthcare staff on behalf of all patients.
Last month, Emory University Hospital became the first hospital in the United States to treat patients with Ebola virus disease. The two patients, both American citizens who became infected with the virus while providing humanitarian aid in West Africa, were cared for in a special isolation unit created in collaboration with the CDC to house CDC scientists and others exposed to infectious diseases while traveling abroad.
Dr. Kent Brantly, who arrived at Emory on Aug. 2 after being transported by air ambulance from Liberia, left Emory University Hospital on Aug. 21. Nancy Writebol arrived at Emory from Liberia on Aug. 5; she was discharged Aug. 19. The two were able to leave the hospital after Emory physicians determined, in collaboration with the CDC and state health departments, that they had recovered from Ebola virus infection and posed no public health concerns.
A third patient with Ebola arrived at Emory from West Africa on Sept. 9 and is being treated in the same isolation unit.
“While our decision to care for the American medical volunteers who contracted Ebola was made years ago as part of our Care Transformation Model, it was met with a mix of emotions — some fear, admiration, pride and respect,” Fox said. “As we rode the public reaction waves, one thing was for certain: We do not waver on our mission to care for those in need. These patients needed our help, and we were committed to helping them, together.”
this is Obama's Katrina moment and the gop-e needs to blast him and all dims out of the water with this.
I sure hope that Dr. that survived has good bone marrow and is drinking his orange juice...he is gonna be giving a lot of blood.
If people die, these CDC morons should be tried for murder!
My sister came to visit from Colorado springs and flew back by Frontier from omaha to denver on the 13th. Close one.
And to think all this drama, the lives of these innocent nurses, the costs, etc... Could have been avoided if Obola had done what a true leader would have done and suspended entry of all peoples and flights from affected countries.
This picture should be at the top on Drudge.
I live in Florida and Agenda 21 is alive and well here in the form of conservation trust greenways. Barf!
Vinson is dumber than a bag of hammers. She knew she was exposed, and she was running a fever, albeit low-grade. Her “common sense”, which obviously is lacking, should have told her to postpone her visit to relatives out of state and not risk infecting OTHER PASSENGERS and FAMILY MEMBERS. Sorry, but she’s a moron in my book.
People do need to realize that the CDC is an advisory public health and research organization. The have no authority to “take over” hospitals. Not to let them off the hook by any means...but they aren’t the FBI...they have no real enforcement authority.
Obama will pardon them
Political correctness mutates in order to remain virulent.
Very possible—in which case the treason or stupidity lies with whoever decided to handle the situation in this manner.
