HERE’S Why Ebola Is No Longer In the News

George Washington's picture




 

Forbes’ David Kroll – an adjunct professor at Duke University Medical Center -  notes:

The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed.

In other words, the mainstream media has agreed not to report on any suspected Ebola cases.

I guess the Ebola czar has been a busy boy, after all ... you know, preventing panic and all that.

H/t Dr. Meryl Nass.

Quit talkin sense. We have a summa cum laude Harvard lawyer tribe member coordinating all the ebola news, so what could possibly go wrong?

The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed......

 

On second thought.....what does that mean exactly? Who agreed to what? How do all news orgs come to 'agree' on anything? That seems....... not right somehow........

Till 11/5/14 at least.

Until a positive test result, is it really 'news'?

Yes,

Do you really know how to think beyond your nose ?  It's not the disease its the process on distribution . 

A fucktard really is myopic .

I'm all for a free press, but it was getting everyone in a tizzy (including ZH), and later it was becoming tiresome and distracting from the real issues, whenever a suspected case of ebola was reported.  Most if not all of these turned out negative, and these so-called news reports did not help anyone.  

I think this says more about the media and being competitive than about attempts to muzzle them.

OK, let me clear this up for you. Please pay attention, it may turn out to be important.

1. Something deadly, but not too hemorrhagic, is spreading like cancer through western Africa.  Key on that word 'deadly', forget the idiot conspiracy theories; too many high profile doctors have died from too many organizations for this to be fake. And it doesn't matter who spread this all over humanity, it is now off the leash and quite deadly, for at least health care workers, which means all of us will be affected.

2. The spread in Western Africa seems to ebb in one place while it rages in others. But the best projections are for it to become dramatically worse before it becomes better, and the longer it goes, the deeper into the infection pool we'll dip for visas, until we're bringing them over in boats. That sounds extreme, but if any reporter at Obama's first 'little room for error'  'unlikely to ever see a case' press conference were to ask, "Mr. Obama, what if.....' and laid out what has happened since, then, 'will we still extend visas to non-citizens and refuse mandatory quarantines for all travellers from the region?' what do you think Mr. Obama would have said? Three weeks later he has NORMALIZED EBOLA, is still lying about transmission, and is more dedicated to his open ports and borders policy than ever. That should be a long series of RED FLAGS to anyone paying attention.

3. Ebola by itself may not be a significant threat to the US, though it will likely disrupt the medical system this winter, if nothing else. But the disease, in combination with Mr. Obama at the helm, someone with contempt for the life efforts of most Americans ('you didn't build that' - neither did you, swamp*ss, you made every bit of it harder for every one of us) means we are in big trouble. And that means you liberals too, who have enabled him every step of the way.

4. Mr. Obama knows that every ebola patient is a potential ENDLESS source of level 4 biohazards for any terrorist organization which can get their hands on an infected person, or body, or medical waste...... The virus is easily preserved, so when they run out of easily dispersed bodily fluids, they can just kidnap and infect someone else. If one of the terrorists gets it, he can spend the rest of his life walking around touching things, then blow himself up inside a major hospital when we pick him up for treatment. Welcome to an uncertain future. We used to keep these things in facilities that could be burned down to the ground if there was a release. Now Ebola is normalized, and that will be Obama's true legacy.

If you're sick of the pussification of even this issue, check out my videos on youtube and my blog, google 'ebola singlularity'. Latest blog entry:

I'm willing to bet that the Pentagon is intentionally releasing it from their bio-weapons labs in Africa. The idea is to head off amnesty and to close the borders. They know full well that Obama is a 'domestic enemy' and they have an oath to uphold. This is why the Chosen Ones have pulled the plug on news reporting. It was hurting their chances of overrunning the nation with non-whites after the election.

Good, except that I never lose a wink of sleep worrying about terrorism.  Every time a foreign empire has occupied a nation, terrorism has resulted.  And whenever the foreign empire left, the terrorism ended.  Afghans aren't terrorizing Russians today.  Vietnamese aren't terrorizing Americans.  Latin Americans aren't terrorizing Spaniards.  Israelis aren't terrorizing Romans.  Chinese, Filipinos, etc. aren't terrorizing Japanese.  Indians aren't terrorizing Brits.

Did ja hear. Guy comes in to Newark from Liberia and passes the fever test (thank you Tylenol). He takes a bus south and has now been admitted to Duke Medical Center with a fever and suspected Ebola. If you took a bus from the Newark area south you are DOOMED. Dunk that bus in bleach.

Either, the tests are bad or Ebola's being beaten back by their immune system. I already have 2 nearly hysterical relatives thanks to the MSM. That's, unfortunately, their only news source.

The Ebola scam is no longer in the complicit-media, because they are moving on to other mid-term throwing topics--the script has changed.

They seem to be back at cheer leading for the national "papers please" ID card disguised as an anti-"illegals" and anti-voting fraud scheme.

The day after the Republicans win the senate you will have all hell break lose.  It will all be their fault because let's face it, the Bush thingy is wearing awfully thin.  Stock market pull back?  Financial markets spooked by those crazy fringe Republicans.  Russian invading Ukraine?  Careful or those Republicans will drag us into another Iraq (having taken the place of Viet Nam).  It can go on and on.

Once officially in power they become complicit. Responsibility just clings to republicans but democrats, not so much. Obama says no one could have fixed our economy. One wonders why he wanted the job unless taking on an impossible task gives cover, like he says, no one could do it, so warm up the golf cart.

When my daughter was looking at colleges I took her to Georgetown.  A beautiful campus! Anyway, our guide was this very unattractive nerdy girl who told us her high school GPA was 4.5.  I asked her how it could be over four, and she told me it was because she took so many advanced placement classes.  It dawned on me that many of the students at these elite colleges (unless they're legacy admissions) sacrifice a social life to get into these schools.  The result? High achievers totally disconnected from other people, who are willing pawns in the power structure.  Like Ron - a really bright guy with no scrupples.  That basically defines most of the motherfuckers in washington, the MIC, and every corporation in the country...

You know, it's worse than you think, superray.  Kids who go to rural high schools, regular schools, not the urban/suburban elite ones, don't even have access to many if any AP classes.  Those classes are not offered.  So they can't get such high grades; it is not possible.  No matter how smart or hard working they are, they cannot match the grades of kids who can take those classes  -  the best they can get is a 4.0.  This arrangement is a built-in way to screw them in the college application process.

Isn't that high achiever social disconnect thing the, or one of the, main premises in that film "The Election?"

"Idiot-Achievement" as a friend of mine calls it. His main object of derision are those that achieve more than their IQ would warrant due to a near total disconnect from society. As he says, "They become highly educated, empty, stupid, shells to be used as useful idiots of the elites."
