The CDC changes its tune on Ebola again
American Thinker ^ | 10/30/2014 | Thomas Lifson

The Centers for Disease Control sacrifices more of its credibility on Ebola. Bob Fredericks writes in the New York Post:

Ebola is a lot easier to catch than health officials have admitted — and can be contracted by contact with a doorknob contaminated by a sneeze from an infected person an hour or more before, experts told The Post Tuesday.

“If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be” infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.

Nass pointed to a poster the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly released on its Web site saying the deadly virus can be spread through “droplets.”

The “quietly released” part is most interesting. These are the same folks who tell us to trust them because they are experts.

Is CDC one of the agencies that bought guns, ammo, tanks, and heavy wool coats a few years ago? Like the IRS and USPS (or someone like that) did?

I’d buy stock in Quell or whatever that hand sanitizer is if I had any money.

Obama Administration continues to try force Political Correctness and Left Wing ideology on Ebola virus.

Ebola virus continues to refuse to cooperate.

Obama’s response will no doubt be to find a better Media spokesperson

In June I predicted 12,000 open cases by Nov 1. WHO posted numbers for Oct. 27 - 13,700.

Yeah, they got a handle on this thing.

24,000 cases predicted by Dec 1.

Still doubling ever 28 to 30 days or so.

Maybe businessmen and women should adopt the Japanese way of greeting. Bow and present a card.

The CDC's more like a union protecting doctors and health care workers. They don't give a damn about ordinary everyday people.

That ‘union’ position would be fine IF the CDC was supported by dues from members - like other unions. It's NOT. It's not fine when taxpayers give them billions to protect us and the only thing they give us back is the finger. (And cheap slogans: eat less, exercise more, use a condom...) It's time to de-fund the CDC and allow them to become a union for Doctors ...
A new group needs to be created that will care about protecting the citizens of the United States.

Or produce at the grocery store? Or mail delivered to your home? Or the faucets in airplane bathrooms?

Viruses can become more or LESS deadly over time ... this one might be devolving... becoming less infectious. That’s my prayer.

Demwits want the truth hidden until after the election.

I’ve been tracking this since end of May. I posted the prediction thread in September.

3 week incubation was the red flag.
