Rep: CDC Worried Travel Ban Over Ebola Would Hurt African Economies
Fox News ^ | October 15, 2014 | Staff

A Republican lawmaker claims the real reason the Obama administration is opposing a travel ban for Ebola-stricken African countries is that U.S. officials are concerned about hurting their economies -- a dollars-and-cents reason, the lawmaker says, doesn't make much sense.

Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., whose House subcommittee held a high-profile hearing Thursday on the Ebola virus, told Fox News that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden is the one who gave him that explanation.

As ignorant a statement as the the fool who last week said we have to continue supporting Liberia because it was founded by former slaves in the 1830s.

He said we can't stop flights from Liberia. That idiot was David Quamem and Rush Limbaugh brought him to our attention. That super liberal lives about as far away from immigrants and blacks as you can get. Montana

Obama has spent six years hurting our economy, but he’s willing to kill as many Americans as necessary to avoid hurting the African economies. I hope no one is surprised.

I think the bushmeat comment was sarcasm, but the ebola documentary (Natgeo?) I watched uncovered a thriving bushmeat industry in NYC and other cities in the US.

Excellent post. The thing that no one seems to be addressing is if Ebola enters the wild animal population in North America it will never be eradicated on our shores. Animals are carriers and do not become symptomatic and die.

This will be the worst invasive to be introduced from offshore. Wildlife management and hunting, forget about it, our pets could be affected if the go outdoors, and on and on. Once Ebola is in the wild it will never be eradicated on this continent.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I still have to wonder what anybody who isn't poor and starving would want with bushmeat. But I guess there are all kinds of weirdos out there.

Obozo's Centers for Disease Dissemination prioritizes African economies over the health of Americans.

Why should Africans die when Americans can die instead?

They can’t track the disease now in Africa, because it’s overwhelmed their system. So as Dr. Phil says, “How’s that working for you?”

Having dead people all over & no control over a quickly and devastating disease isn’t going to ‘hurt their economy’?????

In many places, the dead bodies are lying in the streets.

As I understand things, there are NO direct flights from West Africa. These people fly to Belgium or some other European country and then board a flight for the USA.

This disease is being spread faster than ash from one of Iceland’s volcanoes.
