Look, Bubba, medical folks who give up cozy practises in America to treat the sick and abandoned Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #10

Many of their heads are too big already BubbaFett Oct 2014 #14

So you hate their "arrogance" for helping other folks.....why do you hate education and compassion? Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #17

What did I say BubbaFett Oct 2014 #18

No, it does not dilute the word. LawDeeDah Oct 2014 #11

medical professionals who volunteer to go into a hot zone magical thyme Oct 2014 #13

Correct. The physicians 840high Oct 2014 #30

Nor mine BubbaFett Oct 2014 #32

Did they give up their practises to travel to the poorest parts of the world to heal the sick? Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #39

One did charity work with TB 840high Oct 2014 #78

Bubba- they are purposefully risking their lives to save others Marrah_G Oct 2014 #76

Still with the teabbager and anti-science ebola governors? I can do no more than say - Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #16

Probably better to be with science on this. Adrahil Oct 2014 #109

As ruled by a judge in Maine today and complete surrender by the ebola governor. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #115

Glad to see this post N/T UglyGreed Oct 2014 #9

Sad to see UglyGreed Oct 2014 #19

Read the actual responses about the Post article from the health authorities. branford Oct 2014 #22

Dr. Spencer, M.D., M.P.H. knows more than you what is safe or not. You go with the teaggagers, fine. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #23

Well, he might know what is safe or not, but he still managed to get Ebola somehow. LisaL Oct 2014 #25

And yet passed it to NO ONE! nt Logical Oct 2014 #84

It must have super mutated! morningfog Oct 2014 #87

I have to agree. LisaL Oct 2014 #26

Yes, this was a non-response response. They clearly didn't want to hurt him, and that's fine. pnwmom Oct 2014 #86

It sadly appears that some cannot imagine Dr. Spencer as a fallible human being. branford Oct 2014 #90

It's the "M.D.eity syndrome," perhaps? pnwmom Oct 2014 #91

What mistake did he make? KMOD Oct 2014 #97

I said that Dr. Spencer is fallible, as is everyone, not that he necessarily did anything wrong. branford Oct 2014 #99

Dr. Spencer worked with extremely ill people KMOD Oct 2014 #101

I agree with every word you wrote leftynyc Oct 2014 #113

Maybe we could ask Dr. spencer as he fights for his life, you want to wake him up? Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #116

Thanks for this post. The sniveling whiners who let irrational Laurian Oct 2014 #24

They are children clinging to their fear, angry at those that do not share it...it is OK, they do Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #28

Differences of opinion is 840high Oct 2014 #96

It is in the DU hive mind. n/t Crunchy Frog Oct 2014 #98

What is the timeline on him? Do you know? notadmblnd Oct 2014 #29

Please go start your own trembling anti-science, anti-fact, pro-teabagger, pro ebola governor thread Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #31

pardon me? notadmblnd Oct 2014 #34

Apologies, my anger at the anti-science crowd is clouding my judgment. Sorry. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #35

Why is this something you would get angry about? BubbaFett Oct 2014 #37

And why do you seem...... daleanime Oct 2014 #104

I've lost my patience with them too. notadmblnd Oct 2014 #41

He is serious condition jen63 Oct 2014 #50

Yes we do. I wonder if he got a blood transfusion? notadmblnd Oct 2014 #51

I don't think I noticed any jen63 Oct 2014 #53

I respect his privacy, I am sure he does not give a polite damn about what others think of him. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #56

Dr. Varma's comments do not address the issue in the NY Post article. branford Oct 2014 #61

You are spreading Fox News bullshit, spread it somewhere else, your side lost. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #63

If you believe that my posts violate any rules, you are free to alert. branford Oct 2014 #64

You misunderstand. You are not violating DU rules, you are violating scientific rules! Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #66

You should read the majority of my posts on the Ebola matters more carefully. branford Oct 2014 #67

Your argument still doubts that Dr. Spencer reported "lies" and Fox News/NY Post is truthful. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #69

Again, you did not carefully read my post. branford Oct 2014 #73

Again, you and I do not share facts. Just as one example because that is it with this. Dr. Spencer Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #75

I find the need for some here to highlight anonymous claims from a Murdoch tabloid ludicrous. deurbano Oct 2014 #82

The claims are very straightforward, and other parties should have relevant knowledge branford Oct 2014 #88

Good idea. Let's wait for his personal response. deurbano Oct 2014 #100

What about my Rights? SoapBox Oct 2014 #47

You have no right that says you won't contract an illness... Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2014 #48

I'm just glad they weren't alive during the Revolution or WW2. Pathwalker Oct 2014 #65

Wow. You really hate folks with more education and knowledge than you....get help. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #57

So you have rights superior to hers? blackspade Oct 2014 #68

His right to live in fear trumps a citizen's constitutional right to due process. And to reason. Fred Sanders Oct 2014 #74

Stop believing Fox over science. jeff47 Oct 2014 #83

If you're terrified, you have the right Adrahil Oct 2014 #110

So glad sanity is returning. blackspade Oct 2014 #49
