Death of the Ebola Epidemic and the Lessons Unlearned

Specific numbers aside, there were two ways to intuitively know that the CDC estimate, the WHO estimate, and those of everyone the media treated seriously would be grotesquely overstated.

One, a disease that’s so poorly spread it only gave rise to a few cases outside of West Africa is not going to compete with something people contracted from a single cough before flu vaccines had been invented, or even antibiotics to treat secondary infections. For another, these are all the same people who lied to us about HIV/AIDS, SARS, avian flu, swine flu, and Ebola twice before.

And we’ll be lied to again. Meanwhile, the damage is done. Just four weeks ago, President Obama signed into law $5.4 billion in funding for what was already a phantom epidemic.

But this pattern will never change, because after each hysteria the slate gets wiped clean. The WHOs, CDCs, New York Times, and Laurie Garretts are granted full pardons. Nobody is ever held accountable. Nobody ever will be.

That's not what Fox, Limbaugh, Brietbart, Drudge, Beck, Palin, ad nauseum said. Its not what you nutter RWs said either. Or are you going to say that no RW outlets reported on Ebola?

As I remember, you gullible fools said that Obama was trying to get us all killed, or some such stupidity.

If Obama had not acted, if there had been more cases, you'd be whining and lying about that. You can't have it both ways.

Next, you'll report that the Republicans stopped the epidemic.

"What happened to the Ebola epidemic?"

Midterms.

After the election republicans didn't need the unwarranted hysteria anymore.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

22,000 cases, over 8,400 deaths.

Yeah that's a fizzle

The Ebola epidemic was brought under control by the same people who provide all you Marxist ingrates all your freedoms: the military...and it's not even their job.

BS. It's the demos who built up the ebola threat. They were talking about cancelling the midterms because of ebola..

Nah - I think the african people ended it. For once they changed their idiotic lifestyles to accommodate changing conditions. They stopped keeping the victims in their huts and using their silly voodoo to "cure" the stricken. They also ended the practice of family members washing the bodies of the ebola dead. In short - they reduced contact with the victims.

I see. And our 4000 specially-trained US military medical personnel in Liberia had nothing to do with that. Well thanks for sharing.
