Time To "Rethink" Tom Frieden [the "Baghdad Bob" of Ebola] As CDC Head
Investor's Business Daily ^ | October 14, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Public Health: The man whose one job is to safeguard America's health has failed, saying that we must change our responses to Ebola after a Dallas health care worker becomes infected despite the rules he championed.

After 26-year-old Dallas health care worker Nina Pham became the first person to contract Ebola on U.S. soil, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), said during a press conference that (we) "have to rethink the way we address Ebola control."

Yes, we do. Pham's infection, just as Thomas E. Duncan's death in Dallas after a multistop trip from Liberia, wasn't supposed to happen with CDC's protocols. Frieden's repeated assurances that everything possible was being done have been demonstrably false.

Blaming Pham, who contracted the disease while caring for Duncan despite taking recommended protections and wearing the proper gear, Frieden said that "at some point there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection."

He later walked back his remarks. But if the protocols were adequate, why do we need to rethink them?

This sissy clown needed to be fired from the get-go. His stupid 100% assurances that the disease wouldn’t spread was misleading and he knew it. Now he’s having to walkback on a daily basis

Get rid of this pompous yes-man hack and get a real medical professional leader in there. A REAL one.

I wonder how much of the dislike for Friedan is related to people’s lingering anger over how AIDS was handled in this nation.

Perhaps very little of it is, but I am still angry at how AIDS was allowed to be spread over a massive population base, simply because the main folks to contract it were homosexuals.

Given the Obama track record, we can expect BURKAS will become America’s mandated women’s uniform. Safer right?

How many government spokespeople have lied to us? 50%? 90%? More?

Koskinen. Lied.

Lerner. Lied.

This CDC idiot. Lied. [Don't know name, don't need to]

Every GDMF one of them are nothing but obfuscatory spinners, ineffective know-nothings and outright liars.

We'd have better luck extracting the honest truth concerning the sinking of the Kursk from the Russians the day after she sank.

Baghdad Bob had a certain sense of unintended humor that Washington Tom lacks altogether.

Washington Tom is just an Obama poodle.

The guy thinks he’s a ‘citizen of the world’... rather than a person hired to protect the health of Americans. If Tom Frieden thinks he’s too grand for such a lowly job - he needs to apply to ‘the WORLD’ and see if they’ll pay him.

You’re doing a hell of a job, Brownie. Er, I mean Tommy. (I detest the Left. They tried crucifying Bush, but give a pass to Obama who may very well cause the death of thousands of Americans with his non-response to Ebola.)
