[b]Ebola Containment Efforts Hindered by USAID Shutdown[/b]

New York Times: “The Ebola crisis in East Africa is rapidly escalating, with cases now confirmed in major population centers in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Public health experts around the world and health workers on the ground say that the response has been significantly hindered by the near-absence so far of the United States, historically the leader in any major outbreak.”

“The United States used to fund robust disease surveillance networks across the region and maintained emergency teams to take charge in public health crises like this one. Much of that work ended with the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development early last year.”[/quote]

The US needs to bail out countries and WHO that don't know how to function without the US footing the bill. [/quote]

We weren't just footing the bill; we were managing people on the ground.

To the benefit of humanity, including us, our health, and our national security.

Do you want us to be a leader and share our talents for good, or do you want to sit in the corner like a petulant preteen refusing to unload the dishwasher because Sis didn't do her chore?  [/quote]

If a country is a failure, let it fail. Just don't let them come here to restart a failed miniature version of their country. [/quote]

Helping to curtail outbreaks of a horrific, high mortality, disease that causes people to literally bleed out of their eyeballs, is a matter of national defense, frankly. Doesn't matter how tight the border. Viruses find a way. [/quote]

PP, it’s a wasted effort to try to convince MAGA of anything that runs counter to Cheeto Mussolini and Elon Musk beliefs. MAGA drank the kool-aid.[/quote]
