Last Friday, a friend doing research at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta sent me a photo of a display at the CDC’s in-house museum. She thought I’d be interested because it had to do with the cholera epidemic in Haiti, which I lived through at its beginning and have been reporting on ever since.

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...
This article is worth the read.
Thanks, Nully.
Yes it was worth the read.
Wasn’t the London outbreak traced to a certain well and the epidemic stopped when they removed the handle from the pump?
Yup. Read the article, it’s quite damning.
When it comes to healthcare, Obama and his underlings always chose the wrong way.
Now Obama is mulling over giving the inept UN control of the internet.
But the MSM will always protect him, no matter what. Ten years from now he'll be canonized.
Why am I not surprised?
My first thought was that the Clinton’s Global Initiative was responsivble.
I am still fairly certain that they had a part.
Good find, interesting read. I’m surprised it’s on Slate.
Thanks for posting.
And we want the UN because...why?
Where is all of the Righteous money from The Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund?
"... The Obama administration and the U.S. government did not want the U.N. to be held accountable, because doing so might persuade other people elsewhere to hold U.S. peacekeeping missions accountable—and because the U.S. foots about a quarter of the U.N. peacekeeping budget..."
It makes it sound as if our government didn't want anyone to know for fiscal purposes. Since when has this government ever given a single damn about money we have given away to anyone?
If anything, it was because they didn't want to soil the reputation of their favorite global bureaucracy, the UN. (Though it is hard to imagine how an organization so corrupt they condone child abuse by their "Peace Keepers" could have a reputation any less soiled to begin with.)
Slate actually reported something important ? And well ?
Wow.
Anyway, we must keep the UN out of here. While it’s a more entertaining read than cholera outbreaks, there is plenty out there on the other things that UN forces bring with them. Rape, murder, child molestations, you name it.
This is why the UN must be kept out of here at all costs.
As far as the 2.27billion necessary to start a new water system - Haiti can do this. But first they need to get out of this trance that they are in that others will help them. They’ll need to clean up the drug dealers, Duterte style and they’ll need to oust the corruption that pretty much makes up the entire organization. In short, Only a complete reset will make things right again.
And I feel this way about the US as well.
Journalism? How did this happen?
It could start a trend.
It could.
Almost as if the media is waking up from their thrall.
outrageous and devastating.
Clintoons promised to fix up Haiti..
I could do more from my desk with my cellphone than they’ve managed so far...
Clinton stole millions of donated dollars, while Haitians were left to suffer. Not long ago, I read there are still parts of Haiti with no clean water or adequate sewage disposal.
Shame, shame on H - iLL - ary and Bill Clinton
‘The Killer Hiding in the CDC Map’
I thought it was Hillary in her weird McNally jacket.
+1.
We’re from the UN, and we’re here to help.
Back in the old days, the only thing they would bring with them was the clap.
This is why among the best defended borders on Earth is the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Imagine a country today not having a sewage system equivalent to what the Romans had millennia ago.
