CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE: Obama should start screening Americans, close O'Hare office
Contrarian Commentary editor and Obama researcher Andy
Martin will hold a Chicago news conference today, Friday October 24th, to ask
President Barack Obama to start screening Americans who return from
Ebola-ravaged areas of Africa and to close the O’Hare Airport Ebola screening
station. All Ebola review activity should be consolidated at one or no more
than two airports. Andy says the new Ebola case in New York, and the
possibility that the thousands of U.S. troops Obama is sending to Ebola-ravaged
Africa could be exposed to Ebola, create the risk of an ongoing Ebola infection
crisis.
Andy says that by having Ebola screening stations at
multiple airports today the CDC is only increasing the potential for a public
health crisis. “We must stop Ebola from spreading,” Andy charges. “Having
multiple ports of entry for screening expands the potential for spread of the
disease. We must also start screening Americans who are returning from African
nations where Ebola is prevalent. The majority of our U.S.
cases have come from Americans who were in Africa ."

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Attention
Chicago, National daybook/assignment editors
Announcement
of Chicago
Andy
Martin asks President Barack Obama to consolidate all Ebola screening at one
American airport and to close down the Ebola screening station at Chicago's
O'Hare Airport
Andy
says the continuing spread of Ebola calls for a single point of entry where
everyone is screened, not five (5) screening stations as at present
Andy says it is time to start screening
American citizens who are returning from Ebola-affected nations
(CHICAGO , IL October 24, 2014 )
Obama expert Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference today to ask President
Obama to take three immediate steps: [1] to start screening U. S. Citizens who
are returning from Ebola-ravaged areas of Africa; [2] to close the O'Hare
Airport Ebola screening station; and [3] to consolidate all Ebola screening at
one or no more than two locations.
"Left-wing Democrats have tried to suggest that Ebola screening
is some sort of racially motivated plot by conservatives," Andy says.
"Ebola screening is a public health necessity, not a political issue. By
seeking to politicize Ebola control efforts, liberal Democrats are endangering
every American.
"The time has come to state the obvious and to take the
inevitable action: we must recognize that Americans returning from Ebola areas of
Africa have become a significant public health threat in
this country.
"U. S. Citizenship does not confer immunity from
infection and it should not confer immunity from being screened. The new New
York case yesterday underscores that unpleasant
reality. EVERYONE returning from Africa who has been in
areas where the virus is present should be screened and monitored, both African
and American alike.
"I am sure that almost all of us appreciate the great
risks being taken by Americans who are fighting Ebola at the source. These brave
people should be in our prayers. While we appreciate the risks they are taking
for humanity, we cannot ignore the public health risk created here at home when
they return. It is absolutely unfair to screen Africans who might have been
exposed and to ignore the Americans who are in the midst of the crisis and may
have also been exposed.
"Plain talk: the time has come to start screening both
Americans and Africans who are entering the U.S.
"The current protocol of having multiple ports of entry
for Ebola screening also contributes to the public health crisis. When you want
to screen for an emergency, you consolidate all screening at one location. That
is why Ellis Island was used a century ago. People were screened
for disease at Ellis Island before they entered the U.S. ,
not after they had landed at the [today's] airport.
"For foreigners, entering the U.
S. is a privilege, not a 'right' as
President Obama's actions suggest. We are allowed to take protective public
health measures. Given the dangers posed by Ebola, the screening process must
now be extended even to Americans. One more case of Ebola is one too many.
"The Obama Administration should therefore immediately close
the O'Hare Ebola screening operation. The Obama administration should
consolidate all screening at preferably one location but no more than two.
"Ebola is not going away. We have been warned that the
risk is growing, not receding. The time has come to think clearly about how to
contain Ebola, and to reject the 'political correctness' approach of President
Obama which is posing an increasing threat to the safety of every
American."
