First of all, Huff Post has posted quite a few articles claiming vaccines cause autism. So take anything you read there with a grain of salt.

Second, the point is that Ebola is NOT airborne. This whole think about droplets would mislead the public. NO ONE has contracted Ebola from a sneeze.[/quote]

You don't know if anyone has contracted it through sneezing.

The science says it is in saliva and mucus. And if that is wrong, the conclusion becomes: we don't know all of "the science" yet.

But we're importing it anyway through casual travel and individual HCW traveling as they please. Hickox wants to bike. Spencer and Vinson chose subway, plane. Do we know their moment of contagiousness? [/quote]

Sitting next to someone is not going to make you sick. Sitting next to someone bleeding, vomiting or crapping all over the place would be contagious. You don't get a fever and start spewing bodily fluids on the same day. That didn't happen with any of the people who've caught it by self monitoring. They get a fever and report it, having infected no one along the way. [/quote]

Google "Patrick Sawyer," read about the 19 people he infected, directly or indirectly, and then get back to us.  Sometimes, people are in denial and continue to go about their daily activities.  Dr. Spencer came darn close to doing the same, and that's why he initially lied about the extent of his movements to first responders.  [/quote]

I too googled him. I can't find any reports that he infected anyone be being next to them on a bus or subway, not even on the airplane.

Is there anyone in Nigeria who contracted ebola outside of the hospital? [/quote]

Yes. the people who picked Sawyer up at the airport to take him to his conference and took him to the hospital instead were infected.  He was never on a bus.  The people he had direct casual contact with at the airport did get it.  [/quote]
