How To Stop Ebola In U.S. Once And For All

Exclusive: Dr. Lee Hieb warns political correctness is going to kill Americans

Can you really trust the “experts” when the head of the CDC says you can’t catch Ebola on the bus, but you might still transmit the disease to someone on the bus? I think a 10th-grader  can figure the logical fallacy in that one.

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC director and author of that absurd bus pronouncement, was the guy pushing Mayor Bloomberg’s anti-large soft drink agenda. I suspect he still believes that large cola drinks are more hazardous to my children than people with Ebola walking the streets of America.

I’ve been tweeting about Ebola using the intro, “Let’s be clear.” So let’s be clear here. There are several notions that need to be seen with real-world spectacles, not the rose-colored glasses of Dr. Frieden.

There are multiple modes of disease transmission, and the community response must take these into account. Ebola is not airborne. If it were to become airborne, that would be disastrous, but such transformation has never been seen, so let’s worry about the here and now. An airborne disease can infect you by flowing through ventilation ducts from one part of a hospital to another. For example, in the last known case of smallpox in Europe – and smallpox is truly airborne – the exhalations of a victim flowed out the window into the German winter air, up the wall of another wing of the hospital and infected and killed several student nurses.

Ebola is also not truly “bloodborne” in the sense of HIV. You truly cannot get HIV on the bus or from any casual contact. To acquire HIV, you have to be injected with a patient’s infectious blood or at least have it come into contact. You can get it from sexual exposure to semen, but even sex doesn’t always transmit it.

Ebola is a “droplet disease.” The Ebola virus is present in all body fluids from tears to semen to vomit to sweat. If you are infected and sick and you sneeze or cough or vomit, you spread live infectious virus. Sweat on the sheets, and for a time the sheets are infectious. One of the unknowns is how long this strain of Ebola lives on “fomites” – inanimate objects that transmit disease from person to person.

And there are differences in “infectivity” of diseases. For example, salmonella and Shigella bacteria produce dysentery (bloody diarrhea) when ingested. But the difference is, it takes 100,000 germs of salmonella to get sick, but only one Shigella germ. Unfortunately, Ebola is like Shigella – it only takes apparently a very small amount of virus to make a person deathly ill. Doctors overseas have died merely from touching the skin of an infected patient.

Let’s also be clear about protective gear. In a level-four containment biological research facility, like Fort Dietrich, which deals with Ebola, the researchers wear special biohazard suits and go through a decontamination chamber before removing the suits. In this manner, they ensure that all the bad germs are eliminated/killed from the suit’s surface so they don’t contaminate themselves during removal.
