CDC Director refuses to say whether Ebola can be transmitted by cough or sneeze

CDC Director refuses to say whether Ebola can be transmitted by cough or sneeze. CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta asks him three times and he refuses to answer, hiding behind bureaucratic double talk each time.

  • Prime example of agenda over science, you can bet your last dollar this moron will be the first to leave town if this disease made it to DC.

  • The accurate answer is, of course, "No." If the answer were otherwise, there would be an explosion of cases hitting the news. This kind of stupid science from our government is just more reason not to drink the climate change Koolaid. This is the most technically inept administration that I have ever seen. They are not even aware enough to consult an epidemiologist regarding this disease vector, but why bother, they know everything. What a bunch of inept amateurs.

  • Another liberal obama paid sheeple stating what he's told to say. If the gubment isn't making money from it or gaining power, then who gives a rat's ass who dies from it? I still say the gubment is seeing this as thinning the herd. If you're too old or lazy to pay taxes then you need to die.

  • Deadly virus allowed in amid misinformation and obstruction- some of that BEFOREHAND! How can anyone NOT be thinking that this might be deliberate?

    • This looks like this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back with respect to this administration's desire to create a situation where they would feel legally justified in declaring martial law. Why not manufacture a national pandemic and panic, cause folks to go crazy with fear; maybe cause some Furgeson style rioting +10 and then call in the Obolama riot squads, knock a few heads, break a few bones, kill a few whities and call it a day...you have fundamentally transformed America...

      • We have a media promoted crisis in Texas- which is a red state... I'll be interested in seeing how this disease spreads and whether the virus shows an uncanny ability to select states where Senate seats are being hotly contested so that safety can be arranged to accommodate voting in a manner that favors Dimwitcrat voters. I know, it's a silly, tin foil hat theory but in this day and age when dealing with progressives, nothing can be ruled out.

        As an aside, I wonder what country should be called upon to supervise OUR elections.

          Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, Russia.

        • They may find out that disease vectors never hold to their original predictions. Humans may be easier to control, but this disease can be spread out of control by domestic, domesticated and wild animals. These ass hats have no clue what they're talking about. Once you loose a disease contagion you immediately lose control of it and we have the added bonus of dealing with a disease that has never been seen outside of Western Africa...until now. Way to go, Barak "Typhoid Mary" Hussein Ebolama! The main reason that civilized nations no longer actually consider using biological contaminant vectors is because once they're released you don't get to put the lid back on that 'Pandora's Box.' These weapons can cause as much, or more harm to the people stupid enough to use them in the first place (reference the gas battles that occurred during the First World War). It would indeed be poetic justice if every member of the jug eared Kenyan's family and administration, present and past; and everyone who helped to propel this non-american usurper into the White House came down with a fatal case of Ebola...skewered, as it were, on their own petards!

          • Wishing the POTUS and his family and entire administration a terrible death by Ebola is unchristian and horribly uncharitable of me and I apologize for that part of my rant, however, I see all that this usurper has done during his undeserved tenure as part of a sinister and terribly evil plan that has been in the works since before the Wilson administration. These people are the sons and daughters of Satan! Why we continue to elect them to public office says more about us than it does about these elected criminals who're just following their very fallen natures to its lowest predictable level.

  • This self righteous Marxist plant, CDC commie bureaucrat, Obolama ickday uckersay should be the lucky f***er who introduces this terribly difficult to contract (sarcasm added) contagion/infection to everyone in the WH.

  • Media whore gupta appears to actually be bucking the party line for the first time in his career at CNN. If that unscrupulous attention grabbing slut is worried enough not to parrot the bullet points... THAT gives me reason to be worried about ebola. Really worried.

    • Great point, reading that creeped me out but I wasn't sure why. You just nailed my uneasiness perfectly, now get out of my head.

  • One thing we know for sure, ebola i.e. wither transmitted by air, or it is not.
    Maybe all these people wearing full body protection are misinformed. My guess is they are not.
