The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) expends a great deal of effort and tax money alarming Americans about common illnesses from which most safely recover, such as chicken pox or influenza, but sometimes appears to tamp down concerns about deadlier illnesses: in this case Ebola.

There may be good reason. Chicken pox and influenza are rarely fatal, but can infect so many people that even a small percentage of serious cases can add up. And promoting awareness helps create a market for vaccines that can sometimes prevent the diseases or lessen their serious effects.

There is no effective vaccine for Ebola, described by the World Health Organization as “one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind with a case fatality rate of up to 90%. Yet, CDC is reassuring Americans that they face little risk from two Ebola-infected patients being brought into the U.S. for treatment. A missionary doctor, Kent Brantly, arrived Saturday and charity worker Nancy Writebol will soon follow. They will be treated at Emory University Hospital’s sophisticated isolation unit for infectious diseases in Atlanta, Georgia.

Medical experts are confident that ordinary Americans are not being put at much, if any, risk. Emory’s isolation unit makes use of negative air pressure to keep contaminated air from flowing out until it’s filtered. The workers who conduct lab testing are specialists in infection control.

However, the statement by some infectious disease experts that there is “zero” risk may be understated. For example, history indicates that accidents do happen. Even medical professionals and researchers with the highest-level of training in handling dangerous infectious diseases have accidentally become exposed to Ebola in recent decades.

According to the CDC, there have been at least 3,270 confirmed cases of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever in humans since 1976, including several cases in the U.S.

In 1989, the CDC reports, Ebola-Reston virus was introduced into quarantine facilities in Virginia and Pennsylvania by monkeys imported from the Philippines. No humans were infected.
In 1990, Ebola-Reston virus was introduced once again into quarantine facilities in Virginia and Texas by monkeys imported from the Philippines. Four humans developed antibodies but did not get sick.
In 1996, Ebola-Reston virus was introduced into a quarantine facility in Texas by monkeys imported from the Philippines. No human infections were identified.
In May of 2004, a Russian scientist died of the Ebola virus after accidentally pricking herself with a syringe while conducting research on infected guinea pigs in Siberia.

A similar accident with Ebola had reportedly occurred several months earlier at the US Army’s biodefense laboratory at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., but the researcher involved didn’t acquire the disease. This incident is not listed on the CDC’s list of confirmed outbreaks, perhaps because the researcher didn’t develop antibodies.

In 2009, a scientist in Berlin, Germany accidentally pricked herself and was infected with Ebola. She was given an experimental vaccine as part of her treatment and did not become ill.

Other serious accidents have happened in the U.S. involving other virulent diseases.

CDC reported that in 1991, a lab worker was accidentally infected with smallpox.
In 2002, the CDC said a 26-year-old lab worker accidentally stuck herself with a needle and was also infected with smallpox. She had previously been vaccinated and fully recovered from her illness.

In June of this year, it was discovered that an estimated 86 lab workers in Atlanta may have been infected with the deadly anthrax bacteria. CDC said that expert protocols had none been followed and issued a statement saying,

“Given that CDC expert protocols were not followed, disciplinary action(s) will be taken as necessary,” the government agency wrote in a statement. The unintentional exposure was discovered on June 13 and the investigation as to what happened is ongoing.

Dr. Bruce Ribner, who will be treating the Ebola patients brought into the U.S. told the Associated Press, “Nothing comes out of this unit until it is non-infectious…we do not believe that any health care worker, any other patient or any visitor to our facility is in any way at risk of acquiring this infection.”

(NaturalNews) Nigerian health officials have confirmed that as many as 30,000 people may now be at risk of contracting Ebola from one American man who died after boarding a flight from Liberia to Nigeria. Reports indicate that fears of a global pandemic are now “justified” due to the incident, as this particular mutation of Ebola appears to have the capacity to cross international borders via air travel.

The worst outbreak ever recorded, this latest Ebola scare was amplified after Patrick Sawyer, a 40-year-old man from Minnesota, collapsed and died upon arriving in Nigeria. Sawyer, a naturalized U.S. citizen native to Liberia, had been scheduled to fly back to the U.S. on August 16 to celebrate the birthdays of two of his three daughters.

But flu-like symptoms that later turned out to be Ebola ended up taking his life before this could happen, spreading fears of a global pandemic currently in the works. Sawyer had reportedly been tending to an ill sister of his in Liberia who, as it turned out, had Ebola herself. But this was not known until after she died, and after Sawyer himself had contracted the disease.

Since its emergence late last fall, this latest Ebola outbreak has already taken a confirmed total of 700 lives. And since it can take weeks for Ebola symptoms to emerge, many more are likely infected, including some individuals who may have flown from areas of Africa where the disease is wiping out entire villages to areas around the U.S.

Disease spread pattern indicates Ebola can be airborne

U.S. officials remain insistent that Ebola isn’t a significant threat to Americans, and that it can only spread through bodily fluids. But what the public isn’t being told is that Ebola can be airborne when micro-droplet fluids containing it are suspended in the air, such as when an infected person sneezes or coughs, and it can even be transmitted when someone sweats through clothing onto furniture or sweats through hands onto a door handle.

This is why health officials attempted to check the passenger manifests for the ASKY Airlines flights that Sawyer was on, as well as the 15 people with whom he is believed to have come into contact while at the airport. All of these people could have been exposed to Ebola from airborne transmission, even though most of them probably didn’t have any actual physical contact with Sawyer.

Further evidence of Ebola’s airborne transmission potential was outlined in a 2012 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. Researchers discovered that Ebola had transferred from one cage of pigs to another cage of macaque monkeys without direct contact. Though the exact mode of transfer was not determined, airborne transmission via contaminated fluid vapor or micro-droplets is believed to be the most likely explanation.

Obama to bring African leaders from Ebola countries into U.S. for summit
Despite this obvious threat, the Obama Administration has announced that a planned African Leaders Summit, which will include leaders from three countries being hit hardest by the Ebola outbreak — Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone — will still take place at the White House August 4-6, 2014.

The White House is also moving forward with plans to bring two American aid workers who contracted Ebola while in Africa back to the U.S. to be with their families. Such a move puts the entire country at risk.

It was also reported that a woman traveling from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Phoenix, Arizona, on a U.S. Airways flight recently died after suddenly losing consciousness. Though her actual cause of death has not been publicly released, the woman’s symptoms appear to resemble Sawyer’s.

More good news!

Well we know from the club of Rome and UN Agenda 21 that those that want to rule us also want there to be a lot less of us so we are easier to control!

We need to watch this closely and be very careful the government doesn’t have a good history with these things!

Just what we need more really bad bacteria to add to the really bad viruses that are invading us!
