12 New Possible US Ebola Infections
originally posted by: jtma508
Having studied under a Dr. that worked in the CDC with Lassa Fever and Ebola my take is that this whole thing is being blown way out of proportion. Not sure why the media is being so irresponsible but it's business-as-usual for the blogging crowd. Ebola is only transmissible when the disease has reached the stage where symptoms appear --- usually after the onset of fever. No one ever said it couldn't make it to America. As the economies of African nations improved, as western businesses and interests took hold and, most importantly, as air travel became widely available we all knew it was only a matter of when not if. Ebola will not turn into a pandemic in this country barring a massively significant mutation of the virus which is highly unlikely. Did the Dallas patient come in contact with others? Yes. Will others in that contact chain get sick? Probably. But the hysteria around this is way out-of-scale and irresponsible IMO. There are a number of far less glamorous but infinitely more dangerous public health threats out there. Dial it back. This whole thing will be a 2sec clip in the end-of-year news replay.

Lie #1) Ebola won't ever come to the United States
This lie was shattered just this week when the CDC confirmed Ebola in a hospital patient in Dallas, Texas. Not only has Ebola already spread to America, but a top scientist who used to work for the FDA now says this is only the beginning and that Ebola will spread in America. [1] As printed in The Extinction Protocol: "...it appears several people were exposed before the individual was placed in isolation, and it is quite possible that one or more of his contacts will be infected," he added. What's more, he conceded that it was "only a matter of time" that the swift-killing African virus arrived in the U.S.
Lie #2) Ebola is only spread via direct contact with body fluids
This outrageous medical lie may soon cost the lives of millions of innocent people. In truth, Ebola can spread through the air over short distances via aerosols - airborne particles. Ebola can also spread via contaminated surfaces. When an infected patient makes contact with a surface such as a doorknob or ATM keypad, they may leave behind the Ebola virus which survives for many minutes or hours in the open, depending on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) Another person who touches the same surface may then become instantly infected by simply touching their own eyes, nose or mouth. The ability of Ebola to spread via contaminated surfaces is why victims in Africa have become infected by riding in taxi cabs. This also means any form of public transportation -- airplanes, ambulances, subways -- may harbor the virus and accelerate the spread of an outbreak. Like all viruses, Ebola is destroyed by sunlight. But it can remain viable for a surprisingly long time in environments where sunlight never reaches -- such as underground subways, which are the perfect breeding grounds for viral transmission.
Lie #3) Don't worry: Health authorities have everything under control
The overarching lie about Ebola that's being repeated by the U.S. government is "Don't worry, we have it under control!" Of course, the fact that an infected Ebola victim just flew right into the country with Ebola, then walked around the city of Dallas for 10 days while carrying Ebola, utterly belies the false promises of health authorities who claim to have things under control. In truth, Ebola is completely out of control which is precisely why its sudden appearance in a Dallas hospital surprised nearly everyone. The sobering fact of the matter is that despite all the money being spent on "homeland security," DHS has no way to stop Ebola from walking right into the USA, including on foot from our wide open southern border. If the U.S. government has everything under control, then why did the government just purchase 160,000 Ebola hazmat suits? Why did Obama just recently sign an executive order authorizing the forced government quarantine of anyone showing symptoms of infectious disease? While the public can be easily lied to and told everything is under control, behind closed doors at the highest levels of government, everybody knows this pandemic could rapidly become a global killer that no one can stop.
Lie #4) The only defense against Ebola is a vaccine or a pharmaceutical drug
This lie may get millions of people killed if the Ebola outbreak gets worse. In a desperate bid to make sure Ebola generates billions of dollars in profits for vaccine makers and pharmaceutical companies, the CDC, FDA and even the FTC routinely censor truthful information about natural treatments that might hold promise (such as colloidal silver). Companies that offer extremely beneficial essential oils and colloidal silver products have already been threatened with criminal arrest and prosecution by the FDA. The mainstream media remains complicit in the systematic oppression of natural cures, printing the FDA's propaganda while completely avoiding any balanced reporting that might highlight the extraordinary anti-viral capabilities of many medicinal herbs as I've described in Episode Six of Pandemic Preparedness. If we really want to stop the spread of this viral pandemic right now, both government and the media should be urging citizens to boost their immune defenses by consuming more nutritious foods, herbal spices, superfoods and anti-viral plants (which include peppermint, basil, rosemary, cinnamon and oregano, just to name a few). Everyone should be immediately urged to make sure they have sufficient vitamin D circulating in their blood, and those who have low vitamin D -- which includes just about everyone in America today -- should be urged to take vitamin D supplements. But instead of urging the public to enhance their immune function and boost their natural defenses against Ebola, everyone is ridiculously told to "wash your hands" and wait around for a drug company to introduce an Ebola vaccine.
Lie #5) Ebola came out of nowhere and was a random fluke of nature
The modern-day version of Ebola that's so aggressively circulating today may actually be a bioengineered virus, according to one scientist who wrote a front-page story in Liberia's largest newspaper. "Ebola is a genetically modified organism (GMO)," declared Dr. Cyril Broderick, Professor of Plant Pathology, in a front-page story published in the Liberian Observer. [2] He goes on to explain: [Horowitz] confirmed the existence of an American Military-Medical-Industry that conducts biological weapons tests under the guise of administering vaccinations to control diseases and improve the health of "black Africans overseas." Further supporting this genetic engineering research claim, the U.S. government patented Ebola in 2010 and now claims intellectual property ownership over all Ebola variants. That patent number is CA2741523A1, viewable at this link. Read more about the patenting of Ebola and control over its research in this Natural News article. This means the U.S. government claims all control over Ebola research, too, because any research project involving replication of the virus would violate the government's patent. In fact, the vastly improved transmission ability of the Ebola strain currently circulating (compared to previous outbreaks in years past) has many people convinced this strain is a "weaponized" variant which either broke through containment protocols at government labs or was intentionally deployed as a population control weapon.
Do not believe what the Government or the media is telling you. They are trying to brainwash you into thinking that everything is OKAY and Ebola has been contained. If I were a betting man, that is the furthest thing from the truth.
