There’s a difference between doing an experiment with a test tube full of level 4 pathogen that’s inclusive to a containment facility.
And allowing someone contaminated with enough virons to infect every single human being on the planet to ride in normal Atlanta traffic subject to any fender bender or accident.
And the CDC has a piss poor record with pathogens in general. We’ve just been very lucky:

I read Hot Zone and lost count at 10 breaches of protocol in the handling of e. Reston.
If Ebola occurs in NA, Graham’s organization will be the scapegoat. I can think of no other reasons this particular administration is doing them this ‘favor’. They despise Samaritan’s Purse.
Any research that needs to be done on Brantly could have just as easily been done in a field hospital in rural Africa.
Or Diego Garcia.
It’s like letting your 4yr old handle the paring knife. It will probably be OK. But the downside is great.
Good news. They made it through Atlanta without wrecking. And I bet no mosquito made it into Dr. brantly’s bubble suit and out again.
Calm down. really. The guy is here. Hopefully, he will survive. And, hopefully, some good will come from all of this. Hysteria helps nothing. If you are so worried about this, pray about it. I am praying. My fears are about the many vectors that came from the dead American who wandered around all over the place and flew from place to place. It is much more likely that Dr. Brantly will be a key to showing how to survive.
