CDC Grilled By Congress Over Ebola Snafus: Live Feed
The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will probe into mistakes made in diagnosing Ebola and protecting healthcare workers in Dallas, then discuss how to prevent them from happening at other medical centers across the country. Failures in the response to Ebola are at the center of a Congressional hearing.
The hearing begins at 11ET...

Take your shots and shut the fk up...
"If Ebola is so real that people are dropping dead in the streets left and right in West Africa every other five minutes (as is being reported here), why is there such a MASSIVE propaganda campaign funded by major international NGOs such as Unicef on billboards, posters, signs, TV, pop songs with the line "Ebola is real" at #1 on the chart on the radio there and even public service messages being played at the start of each incoming phone call in Liberia reminding people over there 24/7 that Ebola is indeed real?"
Because of the nature of the virus.
We have no choice but to fear it...let alone take it seriously.
Plus we've already seen the movie...
in 1349...
ill bet the same discussions went on...
'you seen it? no! then its not real!'
with a good helping of...ITS GODS WILL!
"I have seen one occurence and therefore it is the same as all previous and future occurences"
They spend before they grill, then after the grilling they decide its necessary to spend more money. We need an Ebola czar and the Department of Ebola Quarantine Security. Its simple, it always becomes _____ Czar and Department of _____ Security
""If Ebola is so real that people are dropping dead in the streets left and right in West Africa every other five minutes (as is being reported here), why is there such a MASSIVE propaganda campaign funded by major international NGOs such as Unicef on billboards, posters, signs, TV, pop songs with the line "Ebola is real" at #1 on the chart on the radio there and even public service messages being played at the start of each incoming phone call in Liberia reminding people over there 24/7 that Ebola is indeed real?""
Because a significant percentage of the locals are ignorant of the germ theory of medicine. And if the right shaman tells them Ebola is caused by ghosts and banging a 2 month old cures the AIDS, they're on that theory like stink on shit, RNA testing be damned.
What's your excuse?
I can't wait for them to try to blame the GOP again. These f'heads have an annual budget of $7,000,000,000, and spend it studying playground equipment. Their budget is DOUBLE what it was in 2000, and the GOP actually gave them MORE than they were asking for at the beginning of 2014. Good luck with that.
These are the same f'ers who were CALLED by a nurse with a fever who told them she had been exposed to patient zero, and they told her to get on an airplane. These are the same f'ers who tell us it can't be spread by air when we have at least a dozen studies showing it can, and a copy of a US Army manual given to troops overseas stating on page 177 that Ebola can be sperad by air. Anyone with a map and partially functioning brain can tell this is the pattern of spread of an airborne disease.
The REAL question is why do we give these s'heads ANY money. Not only are they not keeping us safe, they're spreading lies and misinformation that are putting us in jeopardy. WITHOUT the CDC, that nurse probably would have NOT taken that plane ride because she clearly knew she was at risk for jeopardizing others.
"in 2009...
ill bet the same discussions went on...
'you seen it? no! then its not real!'
with a good helping of...ITS GODS WILL!"
There. I fixed it for ya ;)
.
There was high comedy when the Congressman from Virginia was going on about how dogs should not be allowed to fly here from West Africa. I literally LOL'd. He is a good argument for drug/alcohol testing of Congress.
The Congressman from Louisiana was very good and kept trying to get Frieden to answer yes or no questions about the White House discussions on travel bans with the CDC,. Frieden refused to answer.
Maybe clips of both will be on YouTube later.
I KNOW WHERE THE MONKEY IS!!!!
SHOOT IT!! SHOOT IT!!!

Because in RELATIVE population terms it is AT THIS POINT IN TIME "insignificant"
Something like ~0.05 PERCENT (rough estimate) of the populations of Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone are infected, so if you just go in the streets, it's not "very probable" that you'll see them.
So you "JUST DON'T SEE IT". More litterate people, with a certain competence in mathematics, biology and/or chemistry, can project what would come next. STFW!!!
- EXTREME AMPLIFICATION - EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS - GEOMETRIC SERIES
So, for all dumbfucks that like their illiterature and/or denial of reality we just don't have any other choice than EDUCATING. It's an AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, stupid!
+1
you forgot...
and get on the EBOLA BUS..
All I hear is:
These fuckers are all career politicans, sucking their way to the top.
You know how to tell they are lying? They all quote their successes and credentials before saying a fucking word. Their position should be their credentials, which would include STOPPING EBOLA FROM ENTERING THE COUNTRY OR SPREADING.
FUCK THOMAS DUNCAN AND EVERYONE THAT TRIED TO SAVE HIM. You helped spread ebola.
IDIOCY SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED WITH EXTREME PREDJUDICE and replaced with someone like Dr. Gil Mobly.
If something makes the news other than reporting on the local train wreck or high school stabbing (which are quite frequent in Houston these days) it has an alterior motive.
"Doctors are smart, all the books behind them when they are on camera say so"
"Experts are on the case"
"Here's an update on where to get your FREE flu shot (in July, you can never be too early)"
"Law and Order, COPS, Rookie Blue, Blue Blood are all great shows that people genuinely love."
Listen Estes,
America:
Take your shots and drink your fluoride!
Reason for no water fluoridation in Israel: "Only some 1% of the water is used for drinking, while 99% of the water is intended for other uses (industry, agriculture, flushing toilets etc.). There is also scientific evidence that fluoride in large amounts can lead to damage to health. When fluoride is supplied via drinking water, there is no control regarding the amount of fluoride actually consumed, which could lead to excessive consumption. Supply of fluoridated water forces those who do not so wish to also consume water with added fluoride. This approach is therefore not accepted in most countries in the world."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoridation_by_country
Listen. My million dollar Obola plan doesn't cover pineal gland replacement.
Listen. My million dollar Obola plan doesn't cover pineal gland replacement.
I actually answered this elsewhere today:
Africans tinfoil hatters are even more paranoid than their American cousins.
Do you understand what happens when there is a deadly and contagious virus on the loose and people trust their local kleptocrats even less than Americans trust Obozo... R0 > 2. How does the State contain a viral outbreak with a legion of uneducated idiots blathering deadly nonsense (since they want to stay in power and maintain their level of kleptocracy)... information campaign for the retards.
I am rapidly developing a grudging respect for European snobbery towards Americans' lack of passports.
What Ebola? I don't see no Ebola!
Why, even Obola has cancelled his travel plans.
How afraid he'll get Ebola on the plane?
No?
It's out of an abundance of caution.
Oh, OK
watch out knuckles...
you might get flogged by rolls of tin foil...
Bread & Circus
Bread & Circus
Go together like a Kabuki Congress
This, I tell you, brother
You can't have one without the other
+ they have to look 'concerned'
About what? Is there a problem?
No problem for these fuckers, they already have citizens marked and allocated to supply the blood transfusions.
Maxine Waters just asked if Febreze helps to contain Ebola.
wow
Seriously. "The up close and personal just got up close and personal."
Downright microbial....
thank god for all that NBC training...
i thought it was a pain in the ass...
now...noy so much...
Hank Johnson wants to know if Ebola causes "island tipping"
Yeah, but if you cover up the diarrhea smell, isn't that just as good?
The only people I careless to hear from then the CDC is congress.
Energy committee? "Only one open for business"?
House or Senate?
Who's the mother fucking faggot that down arrowed me?
Cramer just said on CNBC that Ebola is the reason for the selloff.
When this is done, these bozo's applications at the Barnom and Bailey Circus should collect dust in a back filling cabinet.
They are that useless.
Why would any rationale, thinking person think that a bunch of gum flapping self serviing overprivileged, overpaid, corrupt elected political ruling elite turds and a bloated, expensive massive bureacratic gummint agency and all the overpaid bureaucrtas aka CDC can solve any significant health problem in the U.S much less a lethal virus outbreak???????????
LOL, they will fix everything
"But, but, but Congress, if we only had a little more money. It was the sequester's fault..."-CDC
Stop looking to government for answers
that lady is not following the Mooshele Meal Plan
Those congressmen....always fighting for the people!
Like the "grilling" of Lois Lerner which went nowhere?
CONgress = a gaggle of screeching baboons.
Oh but ebworthen you are so wrong. When the daily-diddler assigned to my congressional district came to give his re-election speech in my area he said, "I am a fighter, and I will fight for you in Washington." I trust him whole heartedly and know that he is fighting for me and my neighbors.
Your critter should be embarrassed. I didn't know they still said those things.
Culdn't we do "show and tell" with Congress by having a victim run down the panel and projectile vomit all over them.
Hey, "Take this home to your constituents"
Not even in stereo ?
That would be twice the pain!
Doubly stereo even worse!
Can the CDC reps even hear the questions with their heads planted so far up their asses?
OMFG, this is going to be a "we need more funding" session it appears.
Okay tax payers, BOHICA! (Bend Over Here It Comes Again).
you got it...
I thought that is how all the sessions end! Mo money - mo money.
must be congress is trying to look good before an election....
Congress can't do anything: Ebola is too big to fail, too small to jail.
How much success have they had stopping Aids on the same continent?
http://tinyurl.com/lt64wo6
CDC - "MERS woked well on the f***ing Arabs, this one was only supposed to kill n**gers!"
(Appologies for the N word guys.)
....can't we fix this just by going somewhere else and bombing the fuck out of some people? Or just print some more money or something, that seems to have been "the fix" for everything in the last 20 or so years.
Why doesn't president Bonobo just fire off an Executive Order against the virus?
they will blame the nurse in dallas for everything. they want it to spread: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2014/10/15/dfw-airport-contractor-forced-to-remo...
AIDS was/is about political power and social engineering.
Ebola is about life and death without the kiss me first part.
aids shows how good we are at containing such kind of viri, with a tiny difference of deathrate and consequences.......
Mr. Waxman from Calefornia sounds like he has a bad case of the flu or.....flu like symptoms.
Circuit in session. They put on a show for all sheeps to see. Nothing will get accomplished afterward.
Do we still believe they really get a grilling? They grilled the Fed, but basically they told congress to fark off and slapped them in private for challenging their pay masters!
CDC will be no different. Grill or no grill, Ebola is spreading in the US.
It's like watching a zombie movie... Only a matter of time before one of the congress-critters starts vomiting blood in the middle of one of these meetings.
Maybe not today... Maybe not tomorrow...
It would be a great practical joke to have some fake blood vomit to toss in the isle and see them all run for their lives, er a, I meant egos.
A bucket of cow's blood being airborned and someone loudly shouting "Alan's Snackbar!"
You'll have to watch it on CCTV because all the journalists will have been beheaded on the whitehouse lawn by then.
Much like reading fortune cookies, many government agencies were created to do the exact opposite of their given title.
Let that sink in.
Direct contact!?!?! Again!?!? Still?!?! You were just sworn in under oath!!!
Direct contact with a microscopic droplet.
hey this should cheer everyone up...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwzCeeaOues
This is damage control. Keep calm, ignore the reality of AIRBORNE CONTAIGEN. KEEP FLYING, NOTHING TO SEE HERE PEOPLE!
thanksgiving is coming up. they don't want anyone cancelling their airline tickets.
HAHA!
Took the fucker about 6 minutes before saying:
9/11!
9/11!
If Ebola goes airborne, the terrorists win.
Oh... Wait a second...
My connection's cutting out, but if I heard correctly Tom Frieden avoided the question:
"Are you being advised by the adminsitration to say we to keep airline traffic open to the fledgling democracies in west Africa?"
Alles klar.
Anyone know where this will be posted after the live feed?
Right now I am more concerned about these fucking pop up advertisements.
I would be curious to know what is being advertised to you William.;-)
Talking about experimental drugs, but no mention of DRACO - https://www.ll.mit.edu/news/DRACO.html
That drugs seems promising, not least of which for its lack of research funding.
Because the Russians are already testing their version in Guinea.
This one was airborne and enroute before they let the cat out of the bag.
Edit: Results of the Russian Phase 2 clinical trials back in 2010-11 (published Nov 2012) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23477247
English description of trials (for those who had issues with the USSA planning to skip blind placebo controlled studies of the safety and efficacy of whatever the CDC is pimping): http://www.influenza.spb.ru/en/research_activity/clinical_investigations...
"A vaccine may be necessary". There you go, they just told us their end game. They are going to experiment on that nurse. Why else would they move her?
I wonder which vaccine(s) they tested on Eric Duncan?
I can't get my family to go for the vineyard in Chile deal that Simon has been offering. I see that in this asset smashing deflationary/inflationary virus ridden period in global history that there is a sale on sailboats. I'm thinking I would have more peace of mind if when the SHTF I could be surrounded by such large amounts of water that my presence on this planet could be effectively ignored for a period of time.
Congress grilling doesn't impress me at all. It mostly is whitewashing to keep their status quo.
Grilled that's funny! It will all be forgotten after the election. Am I expected that these worthless pieces of shit (Congress) are going to suddenly develope a spine and forget who pays them? The pharmaceutical lobby is smacking its collective lips right now at the thought of another cash cow!
I can see it clearly in a year or so local chain pharmacy commercial don't forget the kiddies Halloween candy and decorations and remember to get your annual Liberian Flu shot!
The more that I read / hear these articles about this it makes me think this is a deliberate ploy either for the intended impending mass genocide or
The resulting willful offering up of individual liberty and property to an all powerful world Government.
If this is not the case and these idiots are really just this ignorant than I pray that I make it long enough to see them lament their foolish belief system and decisions before they are rendered incoherent from the product of their stupidity.
Grilled into washington wings if I had my way about it.
Oh and I nearly forgot the director of the CDC can go practice A Sexual reproduction with a broken bottle!
Holger Danske
Ebola scare at Madrid airport as Air France passenger…
The passenger on Air France 1300 from Lagos via Paris had started shaking during the flight which landed at Barajas international airport in the Spanish capital.
http://tersee.com/#!q=ebola&t=text
One nagging question....is the doctor that was flown into GA being treated for ebola?? Funny how no lamestream media is demanding to know as Frieden avoided the question. Possibly to avoid panic?
Problem is we have a bunch of pompous baby boomers running the show. Either they are completely incompetent (highly likely) or they would rather see the world burn to the ground before they die. The thought of the world continuing to spin after they die is terrifying to boomers.
Just thought I would get that discussion going.
Agree on the second point
Didn't like the news that those dealing with Duncan on second admission were wearing surgical masks.
Going right after Frieden on travel. Good!!!!!
Based on the theatrics of this and the grand standing it is a diversion from the impending economic collapse.
My guess is that the ecomonic collapse is imminent 60-120 days +/- Likely to occur after the election not too far out, with just enough time having elapsed to be outside the long shadows of blame.
Does anyone recall that these "Guardians of Liberty" during the debt crisis cliff dive were sequestering themselves behind closed doors laughing it up and getting shit faced drunk every night on the House floor?
Could be both.
"Never let a crisis go to waste"
Frieden's answer to a Waxman statement told it all. If the U.S. bans flights, there will be no way to monitor people flying to another country and coming in "overland". He just admitted there is virtually no border enforcement. Maybe, in the bizarro world in which we live, allowing flights in actually does allow better screening. This country is truly and genuinely screwed.
Anyone pleading the 5th yet?
I like Fauci. He conveys that he gets how serious this is. Frieden does not.
I'd like to see a pie chart of who pays the US Congress: China, India, Germany, Israel, Kuwait, etc.
The committee needs to stop pandering to the CDC and NHI and ask some hard questions.
They should have started out with a presentation from the people who matter first.
CIDRAP

Math sez with 0.05% of population infected, on average 1 infected vector will leak through each 13.3 flights of 150 persons each.
SILLY MATH
Math also sez that if the period where you're not symptomatic vs symptomatic is only 20%, you'll have on average a stealthy infected vector each 66.6 flights. <-- I didn't intend to draw that number, but SILLY MATH JUST DID LOL
Well let's see. Idiot do-nothings ask meaningful, insightful questions of a bunch of worthless political appointees.
This should get traction and produce solutions.
Rest assured people, our top Gender/Faith/Orientation Nuetral Persons are on the job!
Each 2000 visas the U.S. delivers to people from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, one in 2000 is AN EBOLA WINNER!
How long is a flight from West Africa to Dallas? I can go from healthy horny teen to deathly virulant witch in less time, just by going without carbs. End of discussion.
I appreciate that the Chairman of the Committee understands the virus in his recommendation: he called for an ACCELERATION of the efforts to research a vaccine. That means exponential research vs exponential transmission -> seems fair!
That was just about useless.
Oh thank God, Congress will get to the bottom of it. Send in the biggest fucking whores, thieves and mooches in history to "get to the bottom" of something.
Our nation is a shame.
they should be impeaching obama for this. who cares about the centers of denial and confusion. they do obamas biddding. obama is responsible for the nations safety and he is obviously more loyal to george soros, the open border society, and their plan to destroy america. the cdc wants a ban on 20oz soda more than they want to contain ebola.
All that did was reinforce that the government is hiding something. A simple question, "have you talked with the WH about travel bans", yes or no. CDC could not answer a simple question. "If it's not airborn, why clean the Frontier jet four times"? No answer.
Ebola travel bans in 30 countrys as of today
The CDC should be grilled. Not by CONgress, but by us, over a slow roasting spit.
