Health Care

Ebola patient was moving about for a week before entering hospital, potentially infecting many.

This is one reason government never solves any problem.

"Reports of the Ebola-infected Liberian man in Texas remind us of the symbiotic relationship between the state and “threats” with which to bamboozle Boobus into parting with more of their money and liberty. The Defense Department needs a constant flow of enemies; the DEA needs state-defined “illegal drugs;” the Environmental Protection Agency needs pollution; and the Center for Disease Control needs epidemics to pursue. "

The motivation is to make problems worse, not better.

FDA attacks bitter almonds and apricot seeds because they contain B-17, which supposedly kills cancer. Whenever the FDA goes after some food, it's because that food is beneficial.

Walter Williams doubts the CDC's honesty about Ebola.

"Sticking with medical issues, Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, “Ebola poses little risk to the U.S. general population.” If one cannot contract Ebola, as the CDC claims, except through exchange of bodily fluids, then why were millions of dollars spent transporting Ebola patients Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol from Liberia to a U.S. hospital under extreme isolation procedures? The CDC’s Ebola claim strikes me as fishy. To use a line spoken by Marcellus in William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” “something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”"

Some think Ebola can transfer through the air.
