http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/peter-king-slams-doctors-on-ebola-suggests-ebola-went-airborRepublican Rep. Peter King thinks the doctors are wrong on Ebola, suggesting the deadly virus might have mutated and gone airborne in an interview with Long Island News Radio last week.
You know my attitude was its important not to create a panic and its important not to overreact and the doctors were absolutely certain that this can not be transmitted and it was not airborne and yet we find out the people who have contracted it were wearing all protective gear, said King....
King says he believes the doctors have been wrong on Ebola, citing the 2001 anthrax attacks and initial statements from the Center for Disease Control about them, to be wary of pronouncements on the Ebola virus.
Im thinking suppose that person did not know he or she had Ebola and was on the New York City Subway system, the Long Island Railroad, you were sitting next to them without wearing protective gear. What would happen to you. So I think the doctors have been wrong. I dont think it was any conspiracy, I think they have been wrong.

Something went airborne, all right, but it wasn't Ebola. It was Peter King's brain.

Then again, nearly everything Peter King says is dumb and foolish. How his constituents are not embarrassed by this man is beyond me.
