Ebola virus in Central America, stop lying Rethugs!!!!

http://thinkprogress.org/immigration/2014/07/11/3456878/are-central-american-child-refugees-bringing-in-diseases/

Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) is one of several members of Congress who are crying “disease” in response to the unaccompanied migrant crisis. “Reports of illegal immigrants carrying deadly diseases such as swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis are particularly concerning,” Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) wrote in a letter addressed to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday. “Many of the children who are coming across the border also lack basic vaccinations such as those to prevent chicken pox or measles. This makes Americans who are not vaccinated — and especially young children and the elderly — particularly susceptible.”


The CDC -Center for Disease Control never reported that the Ebola virus was ever in Central America. Stop fucking fear mongering. But I bet it will work cause the stupids will cause a panic among the other stupids

All because you write a fucking letter to the CDC doesn't make it true.

There's a vaccine for Ebola?

Good news though, with Ebola, you die in a horribly painful way. But it only takes two days so it's easy to detect and since, I think the mortality rate is around 50% to 90%, the infected die and Rep Lou D-bag-Barletta can rest well, unless he would like to take a fact finding mission, I think that's a good idea, we should write his office.

You can email his office at https://barletta.house.gov/contact/email-me or cut out the middle man and just send it to the NSA.
