Ship from Liberia with Sick Passengers Docks in Louisiana...But Don't Worry

When a ship from an Ebola-plagued nation docks on American shores with a crew full of sick passengers, by all means, we should bring them into the country and treat them.

But don’t worry – the CDC figured it was probably fine.

According to a release from the CDC, the ship was reported to have traveled to a port in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and others in Africa. Officials immediately downplayed the likelihood that the sickness was related to an outbreak of Ebola in that part of the world.

“There is no evidence to suggest that the crew members traveled to, or had any contact with anyone from the remote island region of DRC where Ebola cases are occurring. Given this, the chance that the crew member could have Ebola is thought to be exceedingly low,” the CDC stated. (source)

A CDC whistleblower went public this week saying he was ordered to lie about the connections between vaccines and autism.

The CDC is well aware of the connections, but want to protect the profits of the pharmaceutical companies.

Ebola will eventually make its way into the U.S. government will then have a real sense of purpose trying to deal with mass fear.
