Case in point is Dr. Nicole Lurie, who arguably should be front and center in planning for and responding to the Ebola outbreak.
After all, it's right there in her job title. She's the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, a position created in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that reports directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Her mission, according to the HHS website, is "to lead the nation in preventing, responding to and recovering from the adverse health effects of public health emergencies."
Just another top notch obama appointee, that rarely goes to work, does nothing when there, and leaves no email trail of where she's been or what she's done.
A few words from our Ebola Czar from a news story about her:
“On May 19, Lurie delivered the graduation address for the Perelman School of Medicine.... When Lurie was an undergraduate at Penn, she did not plan to become a doctor; her goal was to address poverty. As a sophomore, however, she spotted a listing for a course called “Health Care as a Human Right.” I began working for the professor, a remarkable man named Sam Martin, who became my lifelong mentor. Through him, I came to see medicine as a tool for promoting social justice and reforming the health-care system as a key component of that effort.”
Same buzz words, same thought patterns, same lib as her boss.
You assume that because it is in her title she is to DEFEND the US from Ebola...
So how are the Benghazi and IRS scandal investigations coming along?
Anybody who has worked on this disease knows it is to be quarantined tightly. Why would you want to be an Ebola expert and have your name on this mess. Your name would be vilified throughout history.

Remember when leaders and people were competent and intelligent enough to make good decisions without czars? McCain thinks any crisis can be met by making big government larger and more authoritarian. Or maybe McCain doesn’t think. We are looking for a few good people who show up for work, and know their jobs. Obama needs to hug more Ebola exposed people, and take Biden with him. It’s a good start.
Nancy Snyderman isn’t busy this week...
Maybe she’s in prison for her various crimes.
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...
***Sen. John McCain called for an Ebola czar,***
Another Czar? Shouldn’t disease control fall under the Surgeon General, or is the SG position just another spot for toadies of Obola.
Does she golf?
