Ebola in the US

[vickie gee]

I certainly hope you hear from him soon. Your concern is certainly understandable.

or Bob and anyone else who is interested...

I spent over an hour speaking with OHSU's Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Department and Media Relations. As you can imagine, this is an extremely busy time, but both of the people with whom I spoke were exceeding generous with their time and information regarding OHSU's preparedness for handling such cases.

I'll limit this post to the official statement that I was given for publication.

If OHSU were to receive a patient with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus disease, we would immediately activate an emergency operation center and coordinate our response with the CDC and our regional public health officials. That response effort would help us determine if the patient should be cared for at OHSU hospital or at another facility. While OHSU does have isolation rooms to accommodate such a patient, adaptations would be required in order to safely and effectively care for a patient with Ebola virus disease specifically. We are ready to make those adaptations in the unlikely event we get a patient with Ebola virus disease, but we are currently keeping our isolation rooms open and available for any type of patient care that requires isolation precautions.

Grateful for the time you took Miss Susanne to try and find the answer to my question. I am grateful for the time they spent with you on the phone. An hour IS a long time,.................... to not answer the question. Additionally I have gone to the link provided. It too did not answer the question in any shape or form. Remember, I stated I already am aware of the answer even if it is not listing a specific number and square footage allotted as I asked. It was just question one, in a line of questioning designed to reveal the truth on the matter.

On another note and to bolster items I have pointed out. Dave's thinking and reasoning are sound in that he points to facts fully outside the media charade......

Will the Real Ebola Vaccine Stand Up? Exposing a Major Cover Up14 Oct, 2014 by Dave Hodges
The world is mired in the meaningless debate as to whether the “Ebola Outbreak” is a false flag attack. To review the tenets of this meaningless debate:


1) One theory states that the media and certain government sponsored agencies such as the CDC, NIH and the FDA are hyping the Ebola crisis to promote the roll-out of mandatory vaccines. This notion promotes the belief that Ebola will not impact that many people but the fear being promoted will drive people to help people like Bill Gates make a fortune from the inevitable vaccines. Is this theory correct? Well, yes and no. The ultimate goal of the globalist interests is indeed forced vaccinations. However, the false flag accusers cannot really deny that there are no Ebola cases because there are.

2) The second theory postulates that Ebola will serve as a depopulation instrument AND the elite (e.g. Bill Gates) will make money on the demise of much of humanity through the implementation of mandatory vaccines, while Ebola decimates the population claiming as many as a billion or so lives worldwide and millions within the United States.

Both theories are correct and both theories are incorrect. People are dying of Ebola. The ultimate question, along this line of thinking, is whether or not the death curve is going to dramatically spike. Both theories are correct in that the financial goal is mandatory vaccines.

However, which of these two positions is correct is totally a meaningless debate and therefore, serves as a distraction from the most important issue which has to do with the vaccines. The answer to where the Ebola crisis is headed is contained within the handling of the differing vaccines.

Will the Real Vaccine Please Stand Up?There are lat east two Ebola vaccines. One vaccine has been in development since 2004. The second vaccine, being developed by GSK, is presently in development and will be brought to market by January 2015.

Vaccine #1- GSKTo say that this vaccine is being brought to the public a little too fast would be the same as saying that Mt. St. Helens caused the earth to “shake a little bit”. The GSK vaccine will be completed from start to finish in 5 short months. Normal medical protocols dictated that this process should take from 3-5 to years. This vaccine is reckless and will endanger the public’s health upon its roll-out.

Vaccine #2- CrucellWhat You Are Not Being Told: Fast facts From Crucell’s Website

• Crucell is developing an Ebola vaccine in collaboration with the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) of the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). It has been shown to completely protect monkeys against the virus with a single dose of the vaccine.
• Under the terms of the agreement with VRC, Crucell has an option for exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to the Ebola vaccine.
• Crucell’s Ebola vaccine entered Phase I clinical trials in Q3 2006. Two groups of 16 volunteers were enrolled and vaccinated. The study showed safety and immunogenicity at the doses evaluated.
• In October 2008, Crucell secured a NIAID/NIH award to advance the development of Ebola and Marburg vaccines, with the ultimate aim of developing a multivalent filovirus vaccine.
• The award provides funding of up to $30 million, with additional options, worth a further $40 million.

Not one word of this was reported in the main stream media and now it is being covered up.

The above was a direct copy and paste from Crucell’s Website on September 17, 2014. In the same article that I published the following, I raised the question as to why the American public was not being informed of this development in which the vaccine had been tested on humans as far back as eight years ago. Within two days of publishing the data from Crucell’s website, this is what now appears off of the same link.

My father used to have a saying “The more you stir “excrement” the more it starts to stink”! Those words never rang truer than they do with the weak attempt at a cover up of the existence of this data and then the subsequent coverup by taking down the site for all the obvious reasons.

The Anatomy of a Cover Up

As most Internet savvy people know, it is extremely difficult to cover up a web based story once it has been printed and recirculated thanks investigative tools such as the Wayback Machine. When the web page linking Crucell with the testing of an Ebola vaccine, on two sets of human volunteers, in 2006, was published by yours truly on September 17, 2014, the page was scrubbed after I exposed the existence of their vaccine. Why?​

Crucell not only developed an Ebola vaccine and tested it eight years ago, they have been caught in perpetrating a cover up of their involvement in the development of an Ebola vaccine. Here is a snapshot of the Crucell scrubbed URL by the “Wayback Machine”.​

CRUCELL HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN A COVER UP RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS EBOLA VACCINE.​

Crucell Clinical Trials Results Are Missing

Now, the $64 million dollar question as to why Crucell is engaged in a cover up. Not only is Crucell guilty of trying cover up the fact that they tested the Ebola vaccine eight years ago, there is yet another cover up.​

The only research results that are available is what you see here on this site as a copy and paste from the Crucell website.​

• “Crucell’s Ebola vaccine entered Phase I clinical trials in Q3 2006. Two groups of 16 volunteers were enrolled and vaccinated. The study showed safety and immunogenicity at the doses evaluated”.

I have looked far and wide for the results of this Phase 1 clinical trials in Q3 2006. They are not in the public domain. I have never seen this before. This speaks to the fact that the results are being covered up. In fact, I would hazard a guess that the results are classified by the Army. Crucell acknowledged the participation of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in their work on the vaccine. These would be the boys from the infamous Ft. Detrick. Therefore, it is a not a stretch to believe that the clinical trial results are known and hidden. Further, if the Crucell Ebola vaccine was not effective, why go to the trouble of obscuring the results? I can only conclude that this vaccine is successful in mitigating the effects of Ebola, or at least, preventing the transmission. ​

Why Does the CDC Need a “Second” Vaccine?

If a vaccine was tested and showed promise in Phase 1 clinical trials, then why would it be necessary to rush a second vaccine to market with such rapidity that it could likely endanger the public? This makes no sense whatsoever, unless, this is a case of a “vaccine for thee but not for me”.​

The rest of this analysis is speculation. However, it is speculation based upon the known facts and within the context of an already discovered cover up related to an Ebola vaccine.​

It is difficult to imagine that the first vaccine, presumably successful, would be covered up from the view of the public if it were ever going to be used to combat Ebola. I believe that the first vaccine is only going to be used by the elite for their own safety reasons. The second, more hastily prepared vaccine is more likely the one that will be administered to the general public. This gives rise to several questions that the public needs to be discussing with regard to the fact that the government has one vaccine with hidden results and another vaccine that was produced so quickly that nobody in their right mind should consider taking.​

1. Is the second GSK vaccine an instrument of depopulation like we saw in the popular TNT TV show, The Last Ship?​

2. Why would the clinical trial results of the Crucell vaccine be hidden to all medical researchers?​

3. How do we know that the second vaccine will be safe and will there be and independent clinical evaluation of the second vaccine (i.e. peer reviewed examinations)? Or, are we just supposed to take the word of GSK and the CDC?​

Conclusion

While the country is mired in the debate as to whether how extensive the Ebola outbreak will become and it is a false flag. This debate is a waste of time because it has already been decided. Yes, there is Ebola and some people have contracted Ebola. We just cannot be certain how far Ebola will be allowed to spread either by happenstance or by design. And yes, the goal of this crisis is clearly to vaccinate everyone and realize tremendous profits as evidenced by Bill Gates infusion of over $600 billion dollars into this process, donated to the Global Fund, which will be disseminating the vaccines of TB, HIV and Ebola. And if one looks at the recovered website of Crucell, these are the vaccines that they claimed to have been working on when their website was taken down after their work on an Ebola vaccine was exposed.​

The real debate is not whether Ebola is a false flag even in this atmosphere of never letting a good crisis go to waste, but rather, why are there two vaccines and why is the existence of the first vaccine with its clinical trials being hidden?​

Let me say it for you. It is hard to imagine that one vaccine works and the other vaccine may mimic the problems of the H1N1 vaccine. This is the direction that the Ebola debate should be taken.​

 

[Carriage]

Not covered in the above is that,.................. A third possibility is that we are not dealing with Ebola. Forms of viral meningitis can mimic many of Ebola's symptoms......... Time will tell this as well.

However the answer to the previously asked question still hangs out there. While not by itself conclusive, it DOES point in the direction of this question with far more veracity.

Most U.S. Hospitals Cannot Safely Handle Ebola Patients

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 01:40 PM PDT

This Ebola outbreak is being called the “most severe, acute health emergency seen in modern times“, and the U.S. health care system is completely and totally unprepared for it. The truth is that most U.S. hospitals are simply not equipped to safely handle Ebola patients, and most hospital staff members have received little or no training on Ebola. And the fact that Barack Obama and our top public health officials are running around proclaiming that Ebola is “difficult to catch” is giving doctors and nurses a false sense of security. There is a reason why Ebola has been classified as a biosafety-level 4 (BSL-4) pathogen. It is an extraordinarily dangerous virus, and there are only a few facilities in the entire country that are set up to safely handle such a disease.

The Ebola patient that recently died in Dallas was the first to be cared for in a facility that did not follow biosafety-level 4 protocols. And so it should not be a surprise that this is the facility where transmission happened…

Of the six Ebola patients treated in the U.S. before the health worker’s case,
Duncan was the only one not treated at one of the specialized units in several hospitals around the country set up to deal with high-risk germs
.
The CDC’s director, Dr. Thomas Frieden,
has said that any U.S. hospital with isolation capabilities can care for an Ebola patient
. But his stance seemed to soften on Sunday, when asked at a news conference whether officials now would consider moving Ebola patients to specialized units.
“We’re going to look at all opportunities to improve the level of safety and to minimize risk, but we can’t let any hospital let its guard down,” because Ebola patients could turn up anywhere, and every hospital must be able to quickly isolate and diagnose such cases, he said.
The head of the CDC continues to underestimate the seriousness of this disease. His opinion that just about any U.S. hospital can safely handle Ebola patients is being contradicted by a whole host of medical experts, including ABC News chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser…

Besser said
he does not agree with the Centers for Disease Control
, which says any U.S. hospital can safely care for an Ebola patient.
“
To do it safely, health care workers need to train and practice using protective equipment like they have been doing at the Emory and Nebraska facilities
,” he said, referring to special biocontainment units at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta — where Fort Worth physician Kent Brantly was treated for Ebola exposure; and the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where an NBC photojournalist is currently being cared for. “I would never have gone into an Ebola ward in Africa without being dressed and decontaminated by experts — health care workers here should expect no less.”
And even if our hospitals had the proper equipment and hospital staff were being given proper BSL-4 protective clothing, the reality of the matter is that most of them have not received adequate training. Just check out the following excerpt from an NBC News article that was posted this week…



Three out of four nurses say their hospital hasn’t provided sufficient education for them on Ebola
, according to a survey by the largest professional association of registered nurses in the United States.
National Nurses United has been conducting an online survey of health care workers across the U.S. as the Ebola outbreak has widened globally. After
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/eb...confirmed-caregiver-remains-isolation-n223976 a Texas nurse
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/eb...confirmed-caregiver-remains-isolation-n223976who cared for the first patient diagnosed with the Ebola in the U.S. tested positive for the virus Sunday, the group released its latest survey findings.
Out of more than 1,900 nurses in 46 states and Washington D.C. who responded,
76 percent
said their hospital still hadn’t communicated to them an official policy on admitting potential patients with Ebola. And a whopping
85 percent
said their hospital hadn’t provided educational training sessions on Ebola in which nurses could interact and ask questions.
If this is indeed the most serious health emergency in modern times like the WHO is saying, then we need to get our health care personnel trained to face it immediately.

Sadly, if a major Ebola pandemic does break out in this country, there is no way that we are going to have the resources to be able to deal with it.

As I discussed yesterday, WND is reporting that there is only one BSL-4 care facility in the entire nation that is available to treat the general public…

Have you wondered why Ebola patients are being sent to Omaha, Nebraska?
It’s because one physician, Dr. Philip Smith, had the foresight to set up the Nebraska Biocontainment Patient Care Unit after the Sept. 11 attacks as a bulwark against bioterrorism. Empty for more than a decade, used only for drills, it was called “Maurer’s Folly,” for Harold Maurer, former chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The unit has a special air handling system to keep germs from escaping from patient rooms, and a steam sterilizer for scrubs and equipment.
It could handle at most 10 patients at a time, but one or two would be more comfortable, owing to the large volume of infectious waste.
It is the largest of only four such units in the U.S., and the only one designated for the general public.
If the outbreak in the United States is limited to just a few patients we will probably be fine.

But what if it isn’t?

Meanwhile, the Obama administration continues to do next to nothing to prevent more people infected with Ebola from traveling into this country.

Obama says that there is “extensive screening” at our airports, but that simply is not true.

The following is one example of the “extensive screening” that is taking place…

The World Health Organization is sending doctors to countries where the virus is most prevalent — Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Fusion’s Jorge Ramos spoke to one of the doctors, Dr. Aileen Marty, who recently returned home to Miami after spending 31 days in Nigeria. She says she was surprised what happened when she arrived at Miami International Airport.
“I get to the kiosk…mark the fact that I’ve been in Nigeria and nobody cares, nobody stopped me,” Marty said.
“Not a single test?” Ramos asked her, surprised.
“Nothing,” Marty answered.
And the head of the CDC continues to rule out a ban on air travel for non-essential personnel to and from the countries where Ebola is raging…

Dr. Frieden strongly argued against curtailing travel to and from West Africa, in part because that could make it harder to get supplies to those countries. “That will make it harder to stop the disease,” he said. “
Whatever we do, we won’t stop travel to and from these countries.
”
It is hard to put into words how foolish this is.

If this virus gets loose inside the United States it could easily become the worst health crisis our nation has ever seen.

The key is to keep the virus from getting into our country in the first place.

Banning air travel for non-essential personnel to and from Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia would not be that big of a deal. Many other countries have already done it.

But the CDC and the Obama administration are not even considering it.

If they have made the wrong call on this, it could end up costing large numbers of Americans their lives.

 

[Riverrose28]

Please go to www.cdc.gov, there is an interesting story about the nurse that was just diagnosed today and the airline she was traveling on. Also I heard this morning that Mark Zuckerberg is also donating 25 million to fight this.

 

[Minimor]

Here's the thing...the Canadian vaccine was put on a back burner years ago because of lack of funding--because our government deemed it not important--something that doesn't affect Canada. I believe that to be a fact. After all those early outbreaks were small and locally contained.

Now that this outbreak is spreading so fast--and just maybe it's true that it is spreading so fast because of the lack of medical personnel 'over there'--quite obviously they are very short of doctors there...now it is no longer a localized problem. Obviously now they need a vaccine to try and slow the spread of this disease...considering how many people there are needing a vaccine in Africa...and considering there is currently no vaccine available...it's going to be a little while before there is a call for mandatory vaccination in America.

It is interesting to note that in Dallas there are two confirmed cases as a result of one patient. In Omaha they have treated FIVE patients--and they haven't had one case is health care workers. Plainly Dallas has a problem eith their protocol.

 

[Riverrose28]

If I remember correctly a vaccine was in the works here at NIH back in the 1970's but it also was ignored after aids became an epedemic. This is what happens when we ignore what is happening in the rest of the world because we bury our head in the sand because we have the attitude that as long as it doesn't bother us it is someone elses problem.

All these theories are making my head spin!

 

[vickie gee]

Thanks Bb for all your informational and factual info. I will continue going to all the sources and resources I trust. If I want fiction I read what the CDC says. You know, these are the type of people that spend our hard earned tax dollars doing studies to see if imagining the hole on the putting green is bigger than it really is will increase one's chances of putting the golf ball into the hole. I will also keep paying attention to other distractions such as ISIS and what "we" claim to be doing.

 

[Jill]

Ditto regarding CDC sentiments. I also wish we could count on any website that ends in .gov, but actual performance and results tell us otherwise.

 

[vickie gee]

Double ditto.

 

[vickie gee]

Sorry if I sound terse. If you refer back to post #3 (me) I sound like I am joking. I was not. That was just the best I could do at the time. I knew ebola would spread but did not want to be the fear mongerer. I am beyond concerned about who actually has their heads in the sand. If this disease were known for killing 10% of the people that contract it I would be concerned. It kills 70% so I am very concerned. I feel very inadequate as far as educating people, even to what I know is true. I am not good at taking the time to kindly and politely convince people to wake up, at least in the way that Carriage does. I elude to Bill Gates. He explains Bill Gates.

I wonder if I were to elude to Africom if Carriage would educate on it?

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Vickie Gee, Carriage, I like reading your posts please keep them coming

 

[Margo_C-T]

The latest report on my home page is that ANOTHER female care worker(not sure if an actual nurse?) involved in the care of the original patient in Dallas has tested positive for ebola, and she had just flown back to Dallas from an 'over-the-weekend' visit to the Cleveland, OH area the day before she showed symptoms. She related that despite a mild FEVER, she had been allowed to board the plane to Dallas. I can hardly BELIEVE what a 'comedy of errors'(but NOT FUNNY!)the lack of proper precautions in this situation has become--WHY ON EARTH wouldn't the health authorities have insisted upon a quarantine of ALL those who dealt with that patient, for the required 21 days from when he died and his body REMOVED from their care??????

 

[Riverrose28]

I heard this morning that the crew of that airplane is on quarenteen for 21 days, but also that the plane made 4 more trips before being cleaned so who knows how many people are exposed. On our local news they say that Dullas airport is just now starting to screen travelers from West Africa.

 

[shorthorsemom]

It is beyond stupid and it was preventable and now it is here and spreading like wildfire. And you bet your sweet bippy it is worse than they say already..

frightening

 

[Jill]

I don't understand why we do not close flights between our nation and certain other nations. Not that people can't hop planes, but it could go a long ways to curtailing the problems that we have been experiencing in the USA. It is a comedy if errors and I miss that "like" butto, Margo! It feels like if we were writing a book, we would be told to scale it back because this really couldn't happen in real life. But here we are!

 

[Sonya]

They are talking about banning the 70+ healthcare workers who treated Duncan from flights, but they won't restrict flights from countries where the outbreak is rampant?

The director of the CDC says it's totally safe to sit next to an ebola patient on a bus but if you have ebola you shouldn't ride a bus because you could endanger someone? Makes perfect sense!

 

[vickie gee]

The nurse that flew from Cleveland to Dallas called the CDC before she flew. They did not tell her not to fly. That plane made 5 more flights.

Troops returning from Africa will go into a 21 day quarantine but what about future Thomas Duncans? Come on over.

The magic ink pen is about to also start sending National Guard to Africa.

And here is a tidbit of info: The fellow who is head over the CDC is another person with "Community Organizer" in past experience. Now ain't that special?

I have to wonder how many people are walking around that "they" know are spreading ebola.

I don't think stupidity is as rampant as it seems. At the risk of sounding like a pessimist, me thinks this crisis is just a diversion for something worse. Hope not.
