Keep Ebola Out of America

Let’s treat victims abroad before letting them back into the country.

As the Ebola infection rate and death toll continue to rise rapidly on the African continent, many of us have become complacent with the measures we have taken to protect Americans from this deadly disease.
Other nations, such as England, have gone so far as to ban flights bound from the affected regions of Africa. The Centers for Disease Control and various infectious-disease specialists have done a yeoman’s job in their efforts to prevent infected individuals in our country from contaminating others. They have put excellent protocols in place that would virtually guarantee complete safety. Unfortunately, all of those valiant efforts cannot preclude human error, which remains an ever-present danger, regardless of intellect.

For this reason, I and many others are not comfortable with the idea of bringing infected individuals into our midst when we can readily treat them elsewhere and happily receive them back once the infectious danger has passed.When one does a logical benefit-to-risk analysis, it is clear that the worst things that could happen by intentionally bringing this dangerous disease to America are far worse than the best things that could happen. Some say if we bring infected individuals here, it will accelerate research endeavors and a potential cure or effective vaccination. Others say that not bringing infected citizens back demonstrates an insensitivity toward wonderful people who risk their lives for others. I am sympathetic to these arguments, and if we did not have safer alternatives, they would convince me.
Perhaps we should be concentrating on stopping the spread of Ebola in Africa and eradicating it from Earth. Like the war on terrorism, we should fight it elsewhere to decrease the likelihood of needing to fight it here. African lives are every bit as valuable as lives in America or anywhere else, and this humanitarian crisis has enormous health implications for the whole world. If, as some officials say, bringing infected individuals back here expedites the acquisition of knowledge that could lead to a cure, as all components of the disease can be more carefully studied, why not transport more researchers and facilities to the heart of the epidemic and dramatically accelerate the process?
I have no desire to induce panic, but we must realize that some viruses are known to undergo mutations that make them even more virulent. If the Ebola virus becomes even more pathologic, the ensuing panic and destruction of human life could go far beyond what is currently being acknowledged. This means there is some urgency to getting the outbreak in Africa under control.
The point is: This is an extremely dangerous disease with the potential to spread throughout several African countries and, subsequently, into other parts of the world, including the United States. Most crises prompt warnings that, if heeded and acted upon, can avert disaster. On the other hand, if arrogance and mistakes characterize the response, horrendous results are likely to ensue.
If we stop trying to prove we are right — whatever our opinions are — and instead concentrate our efforts on halting the spread of the disease where it is concentrated and finding a cure, perhaps we can avert needless panic and death throughout Africa, America, and the world.

Reporter’s Discovery Shows Obama Admin Policies Could Be To Blame For 5 Dead American Kids

Perhaps this is why the U.S. government is keeping their location secret?

L. Todd Wood — October 9, 2014



Sheryl Attkisson, the bane of ABC News and our Dear Leader’s White House, reports today that the deadly enterovirus D-68, which has killed five children in America recently, is showing up more often in the U.S. cities where immigrant children were secretly relocated by the Obama administration over the past year.
Attkisson reports, At least five children infected with the respiratory illness known enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) have died in the U.S. in the past month. She goes on to say, Though the U.S. government is keeping secret the locations of the illegal immigrant children, there are significant numbers of them in both cities in which the current outbreak was first identified, Kansas City, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois, according to local advocates and press reports. Perhaps this is why the U.S. government is keeping their location secret? Because it doesn’t want this truth known to the American people?
And another question, why is their location secret at all? How does our federal government have the power to secretly relocate people around the country at will? Why isn’t the mainstream media following up on this story? With the Ebola outbreak, you would think this scandal would be at the top of every newscast in America tonight. Somehow, I don’t think it will be. Last year, medical personnel found the EV-D68 virus while testing children from the Central American countries involved in our immigration crisis. Attkisson should be commended for breaking this story.
This is just one more example, added to a long list, of instances where this administration has failed to protect America. Terrorism is not just bombings or airplanes crashing into buildings. Food safety and food terrorism, water contamination, bio-terrorism, cyber warfare, are all issues our country has to think about seriously and confront. The fact that Obama let tens of thousands of people into this country and secretly relocated them is an outrage. Communities don’t know who these people are and even worse, don’t know what they don’t know.
Shouldn’t local health authorities have been alerted to this probable health risk? Wouldn’t parents of children in these communities schools have been alerted to the possible risks? He says he has a pen and a phone. Why didn’t he just issue an executive order to deport these immigrants? Well, we know the answer to that one.
