Ebola funding won't get a hearing from House Republicans, but Ebola panic will
Testimony from public health officials in the Senate a few weeks ago and subsequent media follow up has pointed out a serious deficit for public health funding. In fact, NIH Director Francis Collins said, point blank "if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would've gone through clinical trials and would have been ready." These reports led House Democrats to call for a hearing on the lack of funding for the Ebola crisis.

Yes - two years ago they were predicting a potential crisis due to sequestration.Conservatives have blood on their hands:
In terms of what this means for public health funding, most of the public health funding at the federal level is discretionary so it will be impacted by sequestration. Cuts of 8 percent to 10 percent to programs funded at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would mean:
• Life-saving immunizations would be denied to 30,000 children and 20,000 adults.
• An increase in the number of HIV transmissions by nearly 800, costing the nation more than $250 million due to reduced availability of HIV tests.
• Tens of thousands of additional healthcare-associated infections each year would debilitate patients, kill thousands and cost billions in added healthcare costs.
• Decreased ability to evaluate and investigate 100-150 multistate outbreaks identified by CDC surveillance networks, including outbreaks of E. coli, salmonella, and norovirus, causing outbreaks to last longer, get bigger and cause more illnesses and deaths before they are controlled.
• Reduced number of local health department staff trained in epidemiology, laboratory and outbreak response by 2,500.
• Eliminating over 50 intramural and extramural research, translation and outreach projects and grants increasing the economic burden of work-related injuries and illnesses, which is already more than $13 billion annually.
These cuts would be in addition to those already made that have resulted in the loss of 55,000 high-skilled public health jobs and many more positions furloughed. In a report from Sen. Tom Harkin, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies, the potential impact of sequestration on nondefense discretionary programs would impact the public health arena in the following ways: 659,476 fewer people would be tested for HIV, 48,845 fewer women would be screened for cancer; and 211,958 fewer children be vaccinated.
Sequestration Could Cripple US Public Health
That's TWO years old.
Now I'M laughing at you.

Just like Liberals warned you, too.
What now? The federal government's last major health care scandal -- at the Department of Veterans Affairs -- offers a road map out of this mess, and it begins with finding new leadership for the CDC. The times call for a person with unique talents and vision that Frieden lacks.
Americans were shocked this spring to learnabout falsified treatment numbers and hidden, lengthy wait lists at Veterans Affairs hospitals. After a grueling, monthlong drumbeat of bad news, culminating with revelations that veterans died while on those secret wait lists, Secretary Eric Shinseki finally resigned. His resignation came only after President Barack Obama was essentially forced to fire him.
After helming an agency that similarly proved ill-prepared to meet its most important mission, Frieden shouldn't force the resignation issue like Shinseki did.
But while at the CDC's helm during one of its greatest public health crises, Frieden hasn't demonstrated the same kind of entrepreneurial spirit and foresight that he displayed in New York. In fact, at times, he's seemed completely out of touch.
This weekend Frieden told reporters: "I'm not familiar with any prior patient with Ebola who has undergone either intubation or dialysis," and speculated that such measures could have increased the risk of contamination surrounding Duncan's care in Dallas
.
He didn't seem to be aware that Emory University Hospital in Atlanta used both measures in its treatment of Ebola patients. Dr. Bruce Ribner, who's heading Emory's Ebola team, discussed these procedures in a conference call with hospitals and health care workers Tuesday.
Additionally, it is painfully obvious the health care system under government influence, (like the VA and the CDC chief) and its checks and balances under this administration seems utterly useless.
Why CDC chief must go

Actually since 2009 the democrats have REFUSED to pass a budget, if there were any cuts it was because the Democrats caused them with continuing resolutions.The head of the NIH thinks so:

Duncan flew from Belgium ... a west African country don't cha know ?
There are four hospitals with biocontainment facilities in the United States, and they have 11 beds that can be used at any one time for Ebola patients, officials told ABC News. Four of those beds are currently being occupied by Ebola patients.
False.Additionally, it is painfully obvious the health care system under government influence, (like the VA and the CDC chief) and its checks and balances under this administration seems utterly useless.

He also does not want to close down travel from the West African Countries because it "might" hurt their economies.

You quoted Francis Collins - the Director of the National Institutes of Health - as your souce but did not state that he is a democrat so he is conflicted by interest.
.
And yet the FACTS are that the Government got more money for its CDC. There was no reduction at all. Unless of course you believe things like a person wants a 30 percent raise and gets a 20 percent raise then claims his pay was cut 10 percent. Do you? Further the facts are that Obama wanted LESS money then the Republicans gave him.Are Conservatives and Teabaggers to blame for not having an Ebola Vaccine?

Canadian vaccine is starting trials in the US right now. 100% effective in animals.
Fuck the liberal line of "whaaaaaaaaaaaa we didn't have enough money" because our total budget up here to run all the departments of health including research is a lousy 3.8 billion.
