Just another way in which the Hero of Benghazi is protecting the country.

Obama has made sure we already have diseases here.....many we had
already eradicated!!!!!

In a little town in New Mexico......Artesia, New Mexico..........there’s a quanrantine in place.....*supposedly for chicken pox*.......but after inquiry it’s strongly suspected to be ...tuberculosis!!!!!!!

There are stains of tuberculosis that are resistant to antibiotics!

My point, and I do have one....

Obama has shoved diseased people into our country and is shuffling them all over and they are already carrying diseases.

Brantly is an American citizen and is being handled carefully and with sterile conditions.

I do. About a half hour drive from what will be Ground Zero. I’m pissed off.

I live in the area and I’m not wild about it but I do think the CDC is going to use these two as guinea pigs for their research. Note this is the first time ever an Ebola patient has been taken out of a quarantined area and brought here. It’s worrisome.

Right.

Because the CDC can obviously be trusted with this.

BTW, read Hot Zone and see if you can count the number of times they broke protocol with a disease they suspected at the time was a level 4 pathogen in humans.

There are plenty of guinea pigs in Africa.

We fly thousands of troops and all their quarters around the world in a matter of hours. No reason they can’t set up an appropriately sterile field clinic in Sierra Leone or Liberia.

And the CDC is not trustworthy. Read Hot Zone.

And this:

Well, let's see, what could go wrong?

Our leadership is compromised and those that control them are evil. They openly state their intention to rid the planet of the vast majority of us.

and

2. Even the most accomplished of us now are often incompetent ninnies who keep jobs due to ability to be bended to an agenda.

Nah, nothing to worry about here.

You’re right about Obama helping to bring various diseases in through the border. But why should we want another, and one which is much more deadly than chicken pox or TB?

You seeem to be saying, hey, if we have those afflictions, might as well have Ebola, too. There’s no logic there, no common sense.

Handled carefully and in sterile conditions....LOL, right. That was also the case with two doctors who caught the virus despite their Hazmat suits.

I don’t care about his citizenship or his noble deeds and intentions. He is a carrier of a virus that does not exist in this country and introducing it in this manner is criminal even if nobody dies.

One of the first things I learned in the handling of pathogenic organisms is that you isolate the carrier/source and contain it in an area as far outside of the uninfected region as possible.

They could have been isolated in a very remote area, Diego Garcia, etc.

There are too many ways this could go bad.

If it takes the good doctor, so be it. He knew the risks going in and I’m betting that he is not necessarily for his own transport into North America.

They are transporting by ground through downtown Atlanta. What could go wrong?

One of the main acts in the fight against spread of a deadly disease is containment and isolation. Moving an affected person thousands of miles to a supposedly secure facility is not isolation or containment. Those who made the decision to move these two people to the U.S. have violated the basic rule in containment of a infectious disease.

That’s right, Atlanta was the locus for the Walking Dead.
One of the phases of the virulent Zaire strain of Ebola is zombie-like behavior, per `The Hot Zone’.
We may not have to bring out our dead, Maybe they’ll bring themselves out ... “Braaaaainnsssssssss!”

By now, Mexico must be thinking, “How many ebola infected people have used us as a transit route for illegal immigrants to the US?”

Just because Franklin Graham “signed off” does not mitigate the fact that bringing Ebola to the States is not a good idea. And, you might have forgotten that the CDC recently lost some anthrax samples, so that “sign off” is of little value, as well!

Agreed. Why not quarantine him over there?

Homeland Security helps smuggle illegal immigrant children into the U.S.

“Homeland Security promotes welfare to new immigrants in government ‘welcome’ materials”
http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/18/homeland-security-promotes-welfare-to-new-immigrants-in-government-welcome-materials/

Look at all the languages this pamphlets is produced in! Here’s the page to view pdf (see bottom of page):

When the Federal government demonstrates that it has no respect for the law, the people will soon have no respect for them.
We can’t trust the NSA or IRS, but we’re told to trust our lives to the CDC?
