Under an Open Borders mandate from Obama, the CDC has to keep finding increasingly ridiculous reasons for why letting people with Ebola into America is a good idea.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, directorof the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the federal government is looking at different safety-related suggestions from Capitol Hill and beyond, but he suggested the key is to control the deadly virus where it started overseas, not limiting entry to the United States.
Though we might wish we can seal ourselves off from the world, there are Americans who have the right of return and many other people that have the right to enter this country, Frieden said at a press conference Saturday. We’re not going to be able to get to zero risk no matter what we do unless we control the outbreak in West Africa.
Frieden went on to say that limiting entry at the borders could actually put Americans at greater risk.
“In terms of the entry process, we really need to be clear that we don’t inadvertently increase the risk to people in this country by making it harder for us to respond to the needs in those countries, by making it harder to get assistance in and therefore those outbreaks would become worse, go on longer, and paradoxically, something that we did to try and protect ourselves might actually increase our risk,” Frieden said.
If we don’t let people with Ebola into America, we’ll be endangering Americans. And then Ebola wins. The only way to defeat Ebola is by supplying antibodies to more moderate diseases. Like AIDS. And the Bubonic Plague.
Taking in Americans with Ebola under quarantine is one thing. Taking in anyone else covered by “other people” is another.
Zero risk is a strawman. Since zero risk is never attainable, we should never do anything. Why even have airport security? We can’t achieve zero risk anyway. Same goes for airbags and brakes.
It’s the “seal ourselves off from the world” part that the Open Borders crowd really hates. Quarantine does actually stop disease outbreaks. Open borders spreads disease. But we’re in a new “settled science” phase in which spreading a disease is the way to beat it.
Frieden should resign. Now!
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Unfortunately, we ain’t seen nuttin yet. Just wait until flu season hits to see what a completely paralyzed nation that battens down the barricades REALLY looks like as millions have symptoms that are much like how Ebola starts off! The trenches of our medical system are woefully unprepared for something like this. And thank you, President Obola for your “fundamental transformation” when flu season hits! Oh, and PLEASE let’s keep those West African shuttles flying back and forth, since obviously it would do no good anyway with your open borders policy. Oh, and everyone? Be sure to vote a straight Democrat ticket in November: they really DO care about you folks, ya’ll hear? After all:
“Now, I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama stressed. “... But make no mistake: My policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.” (Including unrestricted West African air flights.)

Does anyone actually understand this argument?
Do Americans in Africa with Ebola who are willing to take Advil and lie have rights over Americans who are not lying or spending time in dangerous places?
If a faux citizen foreign agent bent on destroying the country were somehow elected president, what, exactly, would he do differently than this individual?
I think this is one of the best questions I’ve ever heard in my life.
Unfreakinbelievable!
Depending on how many people get killed because of this madness-"Cigarette or blindfold?" might be in order.
When the Centers of Disease Control can’t even bring itself to control a disease ... we have a major problem.
Then again, the Entero-virus in 30+ states and now leaving a dozen or more Denver, Colorado patients with polio-like paralysis is native to Central America (according to Dr. Michael Savage), and it explodes right after all the illegal immigrant UACs are allowed to come, distributed across the nation without disease checks and immediately enrolled in school.
So now we have one epidemic and risk a second one.
The CDC is now the centers for non-disease control.
CDC: If We Wont Let People with Ebola into America, then Ebola Wins
HUH?
Now that there is a very stupid statement!
Based on that theory we should allow terrorist into America so that they do not win..
IDIOT...................
Using that logic, smallpox blankies were the best things ever for native American Indians!
these morons can’t think straight
P.E.R.S.O.N.A.L.L.Y; especially the One(s) who minimize the threat level by their words or actions.
Ebola is good for you!

YES - they need to show us the way... Greet the new arrivals - take them shopping... have dinner with them...
America is mostly white. Therefore, because of white guilt, America must import all 3rd worlders and their diseases. We deserve it you see?
So...if I won’t let pedophiles rape my children...the pedophiles win?
This guy isn’t a Doctor. He’s an Obama politician, trying to transform America.
