Rep. Phil Gingrey says migrants may be bringing Ebola virus through the U.S.-Mexico border | PolitiFact

So is there anything to the Ebola claim?

Experts we asked issued a resounding "No."

First, we checked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose job includes tracking outbreaks of serious infectious diseases. Spokesman Daniel J. DeNoon confirmed that the CDC has received no reports of a human Ebola infection anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, much less the U.S.-Mexico border. "Ebola cases in humans have never been reported outside of Africa," DeNoon said.

William Schaffner, an infectious-disease specialist at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, agreed. "The congressman is misinformed," he said. "There is no Ebola in the Western Hemisphere."

We also checked whether it was plausible for a child or adult entering the United States from Central America via Mexico to be infected with the Ebola virus. CDC scientists call it "extremely unlikely," DeNoon said.

Independent experts agreed. "It’s very, very, highly unlikely if you are talking about someone from Central America who has not traveled to Africa," Thomas W. Geisbert, a microbiologist and immunologist specializing in Ebola at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

It is possible that Vladimir Putin is a transsexual.

It is possible that Sean Hannity will one day finally carry out his promise to allow himself to be waterboarded.

It is possible Pluto will explode in the next five minutes.

Ok pal, you tell me how it's impossible for any if those kids to have Ebola. That's my only point. It's easy and childish to ridicule without a point, but it's harder to prove I'm wrong.

So tell me bud, how is it impossible?

Side note: I was listening to the news earlier...pundits are now convinced that Rand Paul will be the republican nominee in '16, because he's not quite as crazy as the rest of them.

When Rand Paul is the sane one, you know we are in the Twilight Zone now...

It is possible, thus even more urgent the need for R&D.

The possibility is so remote, the shit in your pants is nowhere near warranted.

If the poopers will stop messing their underwear, and encourage R & D, there may be a up side to their fear. Walling off the USA isn't an option.

Hey moron, show me where I said I was afraid. Let me save you the trouble of looking, I didn't. I said it was unlikely and I said it early. My only point was because a left wing nut job called someone stupid for suggesting that it was possible. All of the experts agree with me that it is highly unlikely. No one says its impossible except idiots.

Shit your own pants nit wit.

Fear mongering. Demagoguery. Deserves nothing less than ridicule, not validation.

"Well, yeah, gosh. It IS possible..."

A Republican congressman suggested Monday that some of the unaccompanied children attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border from Central America may have Ebola.

Appearing on WIBC's The Garrison Show, Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.) said he and other members of Indiana's congressional delegation, including heart surgeon Rep. Larry Buschon (R), sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking for more information about the 245 migrant children who had been released to Indiana sponsors this year.

"We sent a letter to the president saying look, first of all, we've have got to know, not from the press, we've got to know ahead of time so we can plan for this," Rokita said. "We did that, Dr. Buschon was helpful... He said, look, we need to know just from a public-health standpoint, with ebola circulating and everything else -- no, that's my addition to it, not necessarily his -- but he said we need to know the condition of these kids as well."

Rokita isn't the first member of Congress to insinuate that the 57,000 children apprehended at the border since last year may be infecting Americans with the deadly virus. Last month, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) wrote to Frieden to voice his concerns.

Are Republican Conservatives really this fearful - or are they just fearmongering?

Hey chief, is there a zero percent probability that some immigrant from Africa who came across the border from Mexico doesn't have Ebola?

Ebola kills its host very quickly.

I hear there is a Benghazi Ebola strain......perfect for the RWrs to pull their hair out and clutch their pearls over.

 

[auditor0007]

This strain has a 50-90 percent mortality rate. Its not unrealistic to think that illegals coming in from sierra leone and liberia could be infected. Especially in light of the CBP report that was leaked. 71 had been detained. That's just the illegals that were caught.

no. but that isn't where the children are from, is it?

Conservative reaction to every little thing is hilarious. They are afraid of their own shadow, but they'll protect themselves with their big bad guns.

Lysol will kill Ebola, guns are useless; there is always a minute chance but Ebola has never been found in South America, the idea someone flew in & walked hundreds of miles, with Ebola, is absurd.

NP.. I will.. In fact, I will bump the thread.. you can read it yourself.. I dont want to get banned again by your crybabies turning me in for posting the links, which is what happened two weeks ago..

Have a nice day < winks >

I saw that thread and he never said anything of the sort. If you want to convince me, you'll need to provide the exact quote that states what you claim.

In the meantime, do you need the government to protect you from ebola?

EXACTLY - it is possible that aliens with Ebola will land in Oklahoma City next Thursday at 1 p.m.

So let 'em start ranting and fear-mongering THAT.

From my research, there are at least two confirmed cases of ebola here. Both of them brought here from Africa already sick with it. Granted they are US citizens, but should we really be bringing them here? We have destroyers with full hospitals on them, sending those to them would make more sense than bringing people with ebola into this country. Scary stuff.

1) This thread is about fear mongering the idea that the children who are trying to come here may have Ebola.

2) Your idea of how to quarantine those two Americans who have Ebola only work if you trust the men on the ship to maintain a quarantine better than you trust those at Emory University.
