PRESIDENT EBOLA: In 2010 Obama Administration Scrapped CDC Quarantine Regulations Aimed At Ebola
Sure, the story is a hatchet job.
And weren't those regulations really aimed at airborne diseases like flu or maybe SARS?
But it contains this pair of nuggets.
The State Department has dismissed calls for restricting travel from West Africa.
“I don’t believe that’s something we’re considering,” a Foggy Bottom spokeswoman said this week, according to The Washington Times.
Florida Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, among others, has a called for such restrictions.
Grayson, one of the earliest proponents for federal action on Ebola, wants a 90-day ban on travel from countries where the virus has broken out.
Grayson?
Formerly a hero of the more lefty left, where does this put him?
Other critics of the tepid Obama administration response have warned of “Ebola tourism.”
The concern, as the Times explains, is that people will become infected with Ebola and come to the United States seeking its exceptional level of medical care.
Once already in Texas, and maybe also in DC.
About Grayson.
Congressman Alan Grayson Calls For U.S. Travel Ban In Response To Ebola Outbreak
Note the date on the story.
Sort of a premature anti-fascist.
