CDC Director Frieden Testifies About "Combating The Ebola Threat" - Live Feed
Top U.S. health official are testifying at a congressional hearing to assess the threat from the Ebola virus ravaging Africa. Chairman Smith begins: “The Ebola virus had been contained in one small area of Central Africa for years. Even when there was an outbreak, such as in Uganda, international cooperation was able to prevent a broader spread of the disease. This hearing will examine current international efforts to meet the challenge of the worst outbreak of Ebola in history.” Speakers include CDC Director Tom Frieden...

Labyrinth of lies in 3...2...1
What's he gonna say? The truth? Sure.
What did Barry know, and when did he know it?
The high treason commission will want answers.
like they got for Benghazi lulz
Maybe this IS IMPORTANT. Maybe not.
"Did you know that the only mammals on the planet that don't produce Vitamin C in their bodies are: Humans, Primates, Guinea Pigs and Fruit Bats?"
Taking this a step further, what is the DIET of the fruit bat?
Is this what makes it a host, and not a victim???
John Rappaport and Jim Stone already cracked this one, folks. The "scare" is massively over-hyped, and the cure is simple: Lots of Vitamin-C. Colloidal silver doesn't touch viruses, but Vitamin-C does. I would add iodine to that as well, because it strengthens the immune system. Iosol or LL's Magnetic Nascent Iodine are some of the best.
nope - that's all bullshit. I'll assume it's good faith, but you ought to be more careful spreading bad info.
remains to be seen if this thing will really go full retard in north america.
Top Ebola Scientist Joked About Culling Humanity with Engineered Virus
Fruit bats eat . . . (wait for it!) . . . Fruit! On trees. They also drink nectar. They don't need to synthesize vitamin C because they eat it all day.
Here is a cute little "bat burrito," (bat in a wrap), the smallest of the fruit bats. I like to say fruit bats are a cross between a dragon and a puppy, but nectar bats are so small they're more like a cross between a hamster and a dragon.

. . . and the video:

I know! Fruit! Citrus! Vitamin C!
Hence, why I asked: "Is this what makes it a host, and not a victim"
AFAIK Ebola DOES NOT kill 55-90% of fruit bats it infects (hence why it is considered a suitable host).
You will also notice that primates DO get Ebola. And die from it.
Primates are not a suitable host then. What about rats? Do they produce Vitamin C naturally? Nothing populates as quick and as vigorous as rats.
You might this video interesting:
Why do Bats Transmit so many Diseases like Ebola?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao0dqJvH4a0#t=178
It's not the vitamin C - - it's what their ability to fly did to their DNA. Perhaps we could learn to fly . . . .
Fantastic!
...on so many levels!
Looks like a colon with a head, how appropriate it's Obama's, as in shithead.
Ebola? Thats Obola's head up Reggie Loves colon.
GENIUS
Tom Frieden, M.D. previously was the Health Commissioner in New York City for Mayor Bloomberg, a mayor who was the unrivaled expert at hiring incompetents and crooked contractors for big ticket multi-billion dollar projects like a new 911 system that doesn't work. With Frieden at the CDC, a lot more people are going to start watching "Doomsday Preppers."
Please don't tell me he changed his name from Friedelman because pronunciation.
Yahoo lists his occupation as "politician."
OUCH!
Ebola is going to do wonders for Africa's Boko Haram problem. We dont even need to send troops there as advisors anymore.
Nothing, friggin' nothing coming out of Atlanta.
Does that give anyone else the heebie jeebies?
You just made me remember what happened to the horse in Atlanta on The Walking Dead. Thanks.
Did you really expect them to say anything?
If it's bad news, they ain't talk'n and we all know why. And if it's good news they ain't talk'n either because if they ever let on they have a treatment or a cure then every mouth-breathing shut-in from LA to Boston who thinks they has the ebola (which is probably 100 million of them) will want some of that.
No no. Cures and shit are for rich people -- and they know who they are. For everyone else -- there is prayer.
I'm not long on rational expectations these days, cougar.
I just think Barry might be desperate for any good news, to relieve the taste of the shit sandwich he gets daily from Putin and Nutty Yahoo.
Of all the shit Barry has to deal with right now, I'm confident he'd rather comment on Ukraine etc than the spread of ebola.
Ebola right now (from just what we can gather) is ready to hit -- hard. For now the less said the better. They are trying to get a handle on it before it gets too far ahead of them. Panic is the enemy now, but this is reall and could jump really far very fast.
That's my take as well. It's like Fukushima.
They don't even have a sane plan.
They got nuth'n pal. Zilch. Nada.
I don't know what we pay these numb-nuts for, but thinking ahead apparently never was on the menu.
Watch for a major civil meltdown in west Africa, spreading east and south. Expect ebola to arrive with refuges in north Africa, Spain and Morocco and from those places into France and Italy.
Just one rolling disaster after another, with everyone running around with their hair on fire, without the first glimmer of a plan about what to do.
We cannot handle nature, nature slaps us around like little bitches and kicks our asses all over the planet.
All that noise about living in harmony with nature was just humans trying to make a last-ditch deal before nature turned around and slapped us into a ditch.
Lots of deadly desert to cross between West Africa and the North.
It's actually really easy to cordon off West Africa once air travel is suspended and the borders to the South and East are secured.
My prediction is that this will run its course in some parts of West Africa and that's it - for now.
At this point.....WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE??
that it was produced in a Bio weapons lab in Sierra Leone?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/what-are-us-biological-warfare-researchers-...
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-ebola-virus-pandemic-a-weapon-of-mass-d...
Nope.
It's just nature, trying to murder us.
Just tell us how many hours before Ebola reaches Wall Street? You cannot evade your karma.
They might though. This disease has a hard time jumping around class structures. Same applies to war, and even bankruptcy.
The 1%'ers might not get all the breaks, but they get most of them.
BTFD FEDs got new anti-virus software.
Umm, dude, GET BACK TO FUCKING WORK. Enough mental masturbating for the retards inside the beltway. Like Nancy Pelosi et al would understand any of this shit. In fact, with the amount of Botox in her face, she should be level 1 quarantined.
With that many lifts,what make you think its her face you are looking at ?
"I'm sorry, all those email records were destroyed when my laptop crashed...."
Dont leave your laptop on any Malaysian Airlines plane. Problem Solved
Three letter fed organizations SUK
ISDA rules ebola not level 1. No need for action. CFTC states no evidence ebola exists. GS gives ebola triple A rating and strong buy recommendation.
Ha ha! Nice! I think you're correct. They'll securitize Ebola as Ebola Debt Obligations (EBOs) and then they'll short the EBOs with Ebola Default Swaps (EDSs).
Of course, part of me believes that the Wall Street parasites have already found a way to bet for or against an Ebola pandemic.
So...to stop the outbreak at its source DON'T LET THEM COME TO THE U.S.!!!
You can't screen them. After a 6-10 hour plane ride(s) they've already spread it to someone(s) on the plane; who will then go all over the continent.
Tragic hubris. If Ebola isn't it, we won't stop the one that is acting this way.
I don't give a shit if it "isn't easily communicable" (as far as you know), IT HAS A 50%-90% FATALITY RATE!!!
WTF!?!? What if it mutated? You're willing to risk 100+ million lives on your pride?
"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure"

And seriously, they are that arrogant that they would risk an extinction event since they are sociopaths who don't think anything would affect them.
Just wait until Obammy releases his EO on immigration in a couple of weeks. There will be a dozen or so biobugs that will threaten the US.
Pure RACISM and HATE.
Frieden is on drugs if he thinks the affected countries are going to now concentrate on a medical infrastructure.
It is very difficult for me to believe this virus could become a major pandemic without help. Assuming, that is, that the truth is known regarding its spread. And given its molecular weight, it seems reasonable that its spread is restricted to direct contact with bodily fluids... wether that means a sneeze is another question.
The idea that its growth has become exponential is disturbing. The lengthy incubation period certain allows those who have become infected to wander far from the point of contact... and the flu like symptons to seem to give the virus cover.
Well... I have believed for some time now that we are on the verge of a perfect storm... as no doubt many if not most of you have believed as well...
If not Ebola, then something else... some other disease, major war, famine as a result of drought and/or financial collapse, technological nightmares of varied degrees, environmental degredation of varied proportions and character depending on who you want to believe, a world filled with worthless script passed off as money, a world filled with pschopaths in positions of influence... any combination of these... others besides...
It would be nice to think that I will have the opportunity to write a similar pasage this time next year as the perfect storm will have proven to be an illusion... good luck with this... or we have yet another year to ponder our fate.
"WITHOUT HELP"---
could this be defined as a sin of omission or commission?
Commission.
How long they been doing that monkey research down in 'Merica any way?
I heard Lee Harvey Oswald was escort/bodyguard for a gal working on monkey diseases all the way back in the early 60's.
"Dr Mary's Monkey" was the name of the tale.
Perfect storm? A major east coast hurricane knocking out power to a large metropolitan area and someone in the shelter has Eeebolaa. That is a perfect storm.
Stopping all flights out of west Africa would help.
But that should have happened a month ago.
Ebola is just the big banks way of getting rid of the few remaining human traders on Wall Street so that their computerized algorithms and HFT systems can take complete control.
Tom Frieden.......could someone explain how Jews get all the top jobs? I've never understood that....
We need a war on Ebola!
Isaacs is in fantasy land.
He thinks spouting doom and gloom is going to get the US/UN (?) off the dime and fix this.
IT WILL NOT and the culture of the affected countries is not going to be changed overnight.
Ergo, mass infection and death.
I expect shootings at the borders.
"I expect shootings at the borders."
My scenario has ebola finding it's way into Mexico somehow -- maybe via a South American country -- and from there into the US. Should take about a year.
And then yes, shoot-on-sight at the border.
It will end in Nigeria and may cost thousands of lives there.
It may also drive oil prices sky high.
So to sum up the 2 hours............we're totally screwed.
stateside
Exactly!
No way, not totally screwed.
That "MZAP" shit will save the .1%-ers, count on that.
But yeah probably the rest of us are mostly screwed.
TKMR (TKM in Canada) just got the ok to use their ebola drug in patients. Stock was halted at 4 PM today. Should open up significantly higher tomorrow. I've posted previously that TKMR and CONX are the two plays as insurance against a pandemic. (gold doesn't hurt either, and guns, and food, and water, and......)
stateside
A week ago CDC said Ebola was 'no risk' to the US. Today they say that the spread of Ebola to the US is 'inevitable'
First rule of a sovereign country, we do not have to commit hai kai (aka hari kari) to show our "compassion" as the idiot Frieden states. Just when I think democrats can't be any more stupid...Frieden said we have to send more than 100 workers (medical personnel, et al) there and then We WILL BRING THEM BACK HERE. The arrogance of FRIEDEN is the arrogance of someone who never fought in WWII, has never seen or lived with true devastation, and is a treasonous no-account gubbermint worker. Can someone fire this guy and hire someone who'se first allegiance is to the populace of the US? To protecting us so We Can Help others?
And in the next election, and in every election, vote ONLY for those born and raised in the US, who speak English as their native language, and who are jingoistically dedicated to the preservation and way of life of our country. We are NOT multi-cultural; We are Americans: English, Christian, and Capitalist.
That last one? Capitalist? That's how you pay to help the African nations with this problem...could someone tell Oboma to go visit Liberia and provide some of the suffering one of those nice hugs like Michelle gave to the Queen of England (who is not to be touched).
