If you are worried about Ebola you can thank the NRA for not having a Surgeon General.

new captionThe good ole boys over at Breitbart are mad because we don't have a Surgeon General speaking out during this "Ebola crisis". Which, one could argue, is exactly the type of thing that we need: a Surgeon General (not a Czar Mr. McCain) during this time in America.


I was thinking to myself that they might be right, when my e-mail buddy, Greg, sent me a link to a story that I found very interesting.


"There has been no dearth of pundits using various media forums to discuss the arrival of the deadly Ebola virus in America, and they have had a fair measure of success frightening a surprisingly large segment of the population. Republicans and their conservative cabal have even combined their ISIL fear-mongering with their immigration fear-mongering to distract Americans going into an important midterm election. Except for the medical researchers and infectious disease scientists from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and National Institute of Health (NIH), there has been precious little information from real medical professionals of any repute that could relieve the rising fear and anxiety among the population that knows little about the virus, or what precautions they need, if any, to protect themselves and their families.
 
Although experts claim there is little reason for panic of a devastating outbreak of the deadly virus in America, a recent Harvard poll revealed that 39% of American adults are worried about a large-scale outbreak and over 25% are mortified that an immediate family member will be stricken with the infectious virus and die.  What America needs at times like this is a trusted public health expert and medical professional to educate the public about the risk of contracting Ebola and reassure them that there is little to worry about and what steps to take to stay safe and Ebola-free.

On Sunday morning political shows, it was left to an official with the Obama administration, senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer, to talk about the deadly Ebola virus. Obviously, Pfeiffer’s political expertise does not qualify him to reassure the public about a potential infectious disease  health crisis, and it may have led one to wonder exactly where “America’s doctor,” the Surgeon General of the United States, is hiding and why they are not stepping into the spotlight to put Americans’ minds at ease. The truth is this nation has not had a Surgeon General for a year, but not because President Obama failed to appoint an extremely qualified candidate; he did last November. However, the National Rifle Association, no Americans’ idea of an organization concerned with the health and safety or preventing even one American citizen’s death, issued an edict to Senate Republicans that a vote to confirm the President’s appointee meant an immediate end to their political career. Going into a hotly contested midterm election, Senate Republicans did precisely as their NRA masters dictated and made sure America will not have a Surgeon General unless they support spreading the epidemic of gun deaths in America.

Last November 14th, the President nominated Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, an extremely qualified candidate to replace ‘acting’ Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin. It took three months, but the Senate finally got around to holding a confirmation hearing for Dr. Murthy’s appointment. However, the National Rifle Association exerted its very substantial legislative prerogative and blocked Murthy’s confirmation because he does not recognize that the NRA is “fourth and all-powerful branch of the federal government” and called for sane gun restrictions to prevent more Americans from dying unnecessarily from the gun violence epidemic. It is exactly what a real medical professional, and highly-qualified potential Surgeon General of the United States, is supposed to do; help prevent a deadly epidemic from spreading to save American lives." [Source]

Yes, I almost forgot about the good doctor.

The NRA and the gutless cowards in Washington (dems and republicans) failed to get Dr. Murthy confirmed, and so we are left without a Surgeon General at a time when the country really needs one.

Thank you NRA.

Honestly, it's amazing how worked up Americans are getting over a disease that has killed exactly one person here at home and yet we continue to ignore the epidemic of gun violence in this country. But I digress.

"Mr. Obama's nominee for the post, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has fallen victim to congressional gridlock (he must be confirmed by the Senate) over a lighting-rod political issue: guns.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, blocked Murthy's nomination in February, arguing his non-clinical experience working with an offshoot of a pro-Obama campaign group made him overly political for the job.


Among Murthy's sins, according to his detractors: promoting Obamacare in his role as co-founder of Doctors for America, including a tweet that tweaked the NRA while making his health care argument:"


You never want to "tweak" the NRA. I don't care how many lives are at stake.

Sorry House Negro, but you aren't going to be able to blame Ebola on the NRA.

Nope, the fact that people are dying in America from this disease is squarely on the shoulders of our Bumbler In Chief and his Open Borders at All Costs policy.

This vacuous, amoral, Marxist punk in the White House is willing to sacrifice thousands of citizens to a horrible disease in the pursuit of his dream of the Leftist Transformation of America.

Motherfuck him, you, and any other House Negro who works to enable the worst President in the history of the country.

PilotX said...

Good points. But then again the senate Republicans vowed to stop anything coming from the WH so even if the nra didn't have its tentacles in the process they would have found a way to block his nominee.
This also reminds me of the Florida law that would have sent doctors to jail for simply asking patients if they owned a gun because they are convinced it's a plot to confiscate everybody's guns. Let's not think about the fact that accidental gun deaths are common enough to be a health concern and good doctors want to provide info to keep patients safe, oh no we must feed nra paranoia at all costs, even lives. Pro life my ass.

CDC wins in budget deal
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will see an 8.2 percent budget increase for fiscal 2014, thanks to a $1.1 trillion spending bill announced by Congress Jan. 13.
...
The bipartisan bill encountered little objection, and was passed less than a week after it was announced.

This is the opposite of what democrats are saying-

...because the president's fiscal year 2014 budget request for it was just $6.6 billion -- a decrease of $270 million from fiscal 2012.

I think a nurse said it very appropriately, "Stop pointing fingers and playing the blame game and fix the problem"

Can a Surgeon General be appointed on an emergency basis for this crisis? and is it absolutely necessary that there be one anyway?

Because I would think that health and hazmat professionals have the knowledge to develop the protocols that have to be put in place for this situation, and the appropriate gear that has to be mandated.

lilacpr2000 is a great example of a Low Information Voter (LIV).

LIV's generally aren't stupid, but live in a bubble of MSM obfuscation. Anyone who takes anything on CNN as fact is a LIV.

The democrats and their media wing have built their success on the cultivation of LIVs.

When events such as the Ebola crisis threaten to burst that bubble, they can respond by obscuring what is happening by blaming Republicans for cutting funds they actually raised, or by denying anyone is filling the Surgeon General position when someone is. Such are the benefits of controlling the Narrative.

In truth, this fetid mix of lies and political correctness is going to get us all killed. Does anyone have a guess at how many Ebola patients can be treated simultaneously in the entire US?

If this source is correct, the answer is 23:

Surely our genius of a President knows this. Why in Heaven's name would he not halt travel to West Africa or get serious about policing the borders? Why, indeed.

From another blog:

I have a friend (female) who works at a large hospital with *admissions* and it's her job to interview the people to see what kind of benefits and programs they might have available in order that the hospital gets paid.

She said they'd discussed this, but they are currently NOT ALLOWED to ask any potential patient if they've been to Africa recently (especially the ones with Nigerian features and names/accent) because that would be discriminatory.


Because, as bad as spreading Ebola among the patients and staff might be, it would be worse to discriminate.

"She said they'd discussed this, but they are currently NOT ALLOWED to ask any potential patient if they've been to Africa recently (especially the ones with Nigerian features and names/accent) because that would be discriminatory."

Dear Beyond Anon, You do realise that the Ebola outbreak n Nigeria is now entirely contained don't you?

Indeed come next Monday, Nigeria will be declared officially 'Ebola Free'.

The WHO recently applauded Nigeria’s “world-class epidemiological detective work” in tracking down infected patients, after the initial infection spread to secondary and even tertiary contacts.

"“It is amazing to me that they were able to contain the outbreak as quickly as they did,” said virologist Professor Benjamin Neuman,.

Far from demonising Nigerians, given your catastrophic incompetence in Texas, Americans should be asking for Nigerian's help and advice.

Anonymous said...

Right, because the Nigerians figured out on their own how to beat Ebola.

If it were not for the aid provided by Western nations, millions would be dying in West Africa.

I'll give one thing to the Nigerians, they probably don't let political correctness get in the way of survival.

The Purple Cow said...

" This disease could catch fire and spread geometrically in a short time. We should be concerned. So should you, Mr Field."

Sorry but that is hysterical bollocks. Ebola is not a particularly virulent disease, it is not as easily spread as the flu virus for instance. It is primarily a disease of poverty. It spreads in those African countries that have the worst financial situation and have the least to spend on public health. Notice how West Africa's two richest nations - Nigeria and Ghana have the disease under control.

America will see a handful of cases, nobody has ever denied that (especially if your infection control policies are not tightened up) but there is zero chance of exponential Ebola growth in the USA.

You've accidentally stumbled on some truth. Well done, that must be a first.

The point is when you have a disease that has a 21 day incubation period there is little or no point in screening people at airports or interviewing anyone that looks like a Nigerian. (!)

Therefore the only way to stop Ebola in the USA is to stop it in Africa. Western governments - all of them - have been far too slow to poor money and resources into fighting this outbreak. Had they done so earlier, this outbreak would be under control already.

We are also paying the price for cutting foreign aid to countries like Liberia. Had we not done so their public health systems would have been better able to cope.
