Released Ebola Nurse, Kaci Hickox Works for CDC; her lawyer is a White House visitor

"I Feel Like My Human Rights Were Violated"

Released Ebola Nurse, Kaci Hickox Works for CDC; her lawyer is a White House visitor 

Ebola health care worker Kaci Hickox, who was released from quarantine with the support of the White House, is a Centers For Disease Control and Prevention employee, records reveal. 

The lawyer who helped earn her release is a recent White House state dinner guest. Hickox was released from Ebola quarantine in Newark, N.J., Monday afternoon after the White House pressured New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to release the nurse that was working in Sierra Leone with Doctors Without Borders. 

Hickox’s case for release was also bolstered by New York civil rights attorney Norman Siegel, who took on Hickox’s case. “I feel like my basic human rights have been violated,” Hickox said before she was evaluated by CDC and transported back to her home in Maine. 

Here’s an overlooked factor that could have contributed to her White House-backed release: Hickox is an official CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer who performed work for the CDC in recent months. 

Hickox’s lawyer Norman Siegel, meanwhile, was an official guest at the White House State Dinner on Feb. 11, 2014, accompanying Jackie Robinson’s widow Rachel Robinson, who supported Siegel’s failed 2009 run for New York City Public Advocate. 

Siegel is the former director of the New York affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Siegel previously partnered with Al Sharpton to fight against a New York state proposal to keep a DNA database of felons.

Lewiston Idaho veterinarian's Letter to the Editor re: Ebola, Nails it!

The present Ebola crisis in the world is frightening. I have submitted the following letter to the editor of the Lewiston Morning Tribune:

Editor, Lewiston Morning Tribune:

If I wish to import a horse into the United States from Liberia or any African country other than Morocco, the horse needs to undergo a 60 day quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling with the general population of horses in this country. Africa has a disease called African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the US; this is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse Sickness does not cause disease in people, only horses; our government has determined that it would be devastating to the US horse industry if it were to come here.

The United States (and virtually all other countries) require a myriad of tests and often quarantine prior to bringing in a foreign animal.

I can't legally cross state lines in the United States with a horse or cow without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian stating that the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact I can't legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in Idaho without a health certificate and a negative blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia.

I'm not complaining; the United States of America, the States of Idaho and Washington as well as the other 48 states take the health of our livestock very seriously, and we have a very good record at keeping foreign animal diseases out of our country. I am happy to do my part to maintain biosecurity in our animal population.

If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the United States all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie when asked if I have been exposed to Ebola. Within hours (no quarantine required) I can be walking the streets of any city in the United States.

I feel very fortunate to live in a country that values our animals so highly.

David A. Rustebakke, DVM

WREG: Patient being tested for Ebola in the Mid-South in stable condition October 26, 2014 10:24AM

Re: Breaking: Possible Ebola Case In Memphis
Ok guys more info...

The pt was transported by Memphis Fire (ambulance) to Meth South. Nobody knew or suspected ebola at this point but obviously we know now he was infected. SO...the paramedics and the hospital staff unknowingly were exposed.

While at Meth South pt had the family informed hospital that pt was in contact with someone with ebola. Everything changes at this point.

Pt transported to Meth University (Central) still with only suspected ebola. Still trying to confirm who transported him.

Pt at Meth University in the old ER which is designated specifically for ebola pt.

Patient came back from Africa 11 days ago. Had a fever when coming to hospital.
So everybody involved with the initial care and transport of the pt (Memphis Fire, Meth South ED, Family) are all potential new cases. via blog chatter
