To maintain, as does Dr. Frieden, that stopping travel to the U.S. from the few countries where Ebola is running rampant would somehow harm us is illogical to the point of absurdity. And it is now clear to every other sentient being that Ebola is far more contagious, and deadly, than AIDS, to which Dr. Frieden compared Ebola. The latest nugget is that Amber Vinson, the second Dallas nurse diagnosed with Ebola, called the CDC numerous times before boarding her flight from Cleveland back to Dallas and was told it was OK for her to fly because her fever did not quite reach the protocolized threshold!

I’m sure the CDC, like every FedGov agency, is filled with incompetents, political hacks and affirmative action hires.
If I were a terrorist who hated the United States I’d be feeling pretty smug right now. I might even go out and enjoy a fine fall day and play a few rounds of golf in celebration of my good fortune and cunning.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

These clowns aren’t qualified to be a school nurse.
AIDS is to an earthworm as Ebola is to a black mamba.
Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed “I’ve never had a case where a president is telling me to tell him something.” Of course, thoroughly vetted sycophants are never told what to say. They already know. All the “EXPERTS” agree that travel from the effected Ebola countries should not be banned. By the same logic infected individuals should not be quarantined. The President stated on September 16, 2014, “First and foremost, I want the American people to know that our experts, here at the CDC and across our government, agree that the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low. We’ve been taking the necessary precautions.” A month later he said, “I am absolutely confident that we can prevent a serious outbreak of the disease here in the United States.” Now we have Ron Klain, an expert manager, in charge. I hope he has more success in this case than he had in his recommendation of Solyndra.
These clowns aren’t qualified to be near a school.
As well, as any Dietary edicts from Mooshelle.
Klain has absolutely no medical training. He's a political appointee with no background in the field. I would guess he doesn't even know how to apply a band aid.
If the stakes were not so high perhaps these enemies of liberty and freedom might be ignored as buffoons and clowns. Alas, their decisions regarding national security have take a deadly turn and now directly threaten the very lives of American citizens, ie; you and me. Clowns? Maybe. Deadly serious in their intent to do us harm? Count on it.
Good point.
The utter incompetence and idiocy on display from the CDC is a glaring example of what can happen when you try to "educate" people beyond their intelligence or ability and when you inculcate people with leftist dogma instead of educating them and teaching them to think.
"Dr. Tom Frieden, CDC director:
"You cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else"
"We must attack Ebola at the source but a quarantine and travel ban wouuld cause it to spread."
CAN THEY TOP THIS? Course, we have yet to see Biden factotum Ron Klain---the new Ebola Czar---- and lamebrain Susan Rice reacting together....but it will be interesting to see if they can top CDC'S Frieden for utter stupidity.
FRIEDEN FAMOUSLY SAID: "You Can Give Ebola on a Bus, But You Can't Get It on a Bus."
The Strange Logic of CDC's Dr. Thomas Frieden.
Nothing this idiot says makes sense. He told Megyn Kelly
US health personnel just need to wear gloves and face mask to
prevent the contagion. But here he is in Liberia---covered to the hilt.
CDC's Frieden in haz-mat in Ebola-struck Liberia.
===============================================
CDC head Dr Tom Frieden Denies Enterovirus Link to Illegal-Alien kids wandering across the border into the US and into our schools---“There is no evidence that unaccompanied children brought EV-D68 into the United States; we are not aware of any of these children testing positive for the virus,” the CDC emailed WND......
Frieden's suck-up is so complete---Mexico is sending him a case of Tabasco-flavored Chap-Stix.
=================================================
I was at my doctor’s on Friday and we were discussing whether or not I should get the shingles vaccine. He was somewhat skeptical since the older one is, the less effective the vaccine is. Anyway, he then said, “The CDC does recommend...” At those words, I started laughing—and he did too.
Firing these idiots will stop the idiocy until the head idiot is gone or is forced to change his mind about the travel ban.
The head idiot, President Obama, will change his mind if Americans start dying but by then it will be too late.
Don’t let him wait until it is too late. The people have the power to force his hand. Just stop flying! Anyone who can cancel their travel plans should do it and tell the airlines why. Shut the airlines down and force Obama’s hand before more Americans die.
The Founding Generation knew this. They threw the tea in the harbor.
These clowns aren't qualified to be in the White House!
Wrong. He will celebrate, double down, and dance a little jig.
