Assumption #1) Ebola only spreads via "direct contact"

Dangerous assumption #2) Ebola patients cannot spread the virus until they are "symptomatic"

Dangerous assumption #3) The Ebola strain the world is fighting today is identical to the outbreak strain of 1976

Dangerous assumption #4) Airport screening will detect people who are harboring Ebola

Dangerous assumption #5) Vaccines and pharma drugs are the only useful medical tools for preventing the spread of Ebola

The CDC's dogma may ultimately cause the death of tens of millions

(NaturalNews) There's no subtle way to say this, so I'll just state it outright: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has become a clear and present danger to the public health of all Americans. The agency's continued repeating of lies based on false assumptions is already contributing to a dangerous, casual attitude about Ebola transmission that could cause this outbreak to explode across the United States.I have already estimated, in an interview with Dave Hodges , that a runaway outbreak across the USA could result in as many as 30 million deaths if uncontrolled. Clearly this threat needs to be taken seriously, and all Americans deserve to hear the truth about Ebola's infection vectors. But instead of telling the truth about how Ebola is spreading, the CDC remains in a state of dangerous denial, falsely insisting the virus only spreads through "direct contact" even though virologist experts strongly disagree (and infections are clearly taking place that could not have happened through direct contact).Even the W.H.O. now openly contradicts the CDC, stating "The Ebola virus can also be transmitted indirectly, by contact with previously contaminated surfaces and objects." [6]The W.H.O. also explains that "...wet and bigger droplets from a heavily infected individual... could transmit the virus -- over a short distance -- to another nearby person. This could happen when virus-laden heavy droplets are directly propelled, by coughing or sneezing..."Despite these warnings, photos captured outside the apartment of Ebola "patient zero" Thomas Duncan show government officials walking in and out of an obviously contaminated apartment. The sidewalk where Duncan vomited was power-washed by people wearing no protective gear as well.Such astonishing events, and the careless, casual attitude being witnessed right now is a direct result of the CDC knowingly lying to the public about Ebola transmission vectors.A well-researched story by David Willman, published in the LA Times, seems to be the very first mainstream media story that dares to question the CDC's official lies. Click here to read that story . Many of the quotes shown below are sourced from this story. Willman deserves to be applauded for having the courage to investigate this story and ask real questions that divert from CDC propaganda.Here are the five dangerous -- even deadly -- assumptions still being made by the CDC, an agency that is clearly behaving in a way that threatens the health and safety of the American people:The CDC continues to dangerously assert that Ebola only spread through "direct contact." This false claim openly encourages health and government officials to avoid donning necessary isolation gear (such as full face respirators) when mingling near infected Ebola patients.It also makes the idea of touching Ebola-contaminated surfaces (such as doorknobs, bed sheets, countertops and even vehicle door handles) seem perfectly safe. But virologists are now openly questioning this dangerous CDC assumption. As reported by the LA Times: [1]Dr. Peters and Dr. Russell also warn against the dogma of the CDC, saying: [1]Another great leap of faith being made by the CDC is found in the wildly unscientific assertion that Ebola victims can't spread the disease until they become "symptomatic." But this wishy-washy term isn't defined anywhere, nor is it universally understood or applied by medical professionals.As the LA Times reports:The CDC, in other words, is making a huge unscientific leap in claiming that Ebola only spreads after symptoms appear. From a commonsense perspective, any body fluid that contains even tiny amounts of Ebola virus obviously poses a risk of infection to others. Even before symptoms become obvious, the Ebola virus is clearly present at some concentration in a person's blood, saliva and mucus. Aren't all these body fluids dangerous even before full-blown symptoms appear?Even semen has now been identified as carrying the Ebola virus for up to 90 days after a person survives an infection. As Reuters reported today: [4]That same article also says that Ebola "spreads via bodily fluids such as blood and saliva, but it has also been detected in breast milk and urine, as well as semen."Ever wonder why this particular strain of Ebola is exploding out of control and making huge leaps to infect people who thought they were taking sufficient precautions?The real answer is that this 2014 Ebola strain isn't the same strain world health officials battled in 1976 (where it was limited to a few dozen people).Yet the CDC openly admits it is still fighting today's Ebola as if it were still 1976: [1]Is it possible that the CDC's present-day advice is nearly four decades out of date?Yet another dangerous assumption from the CDC is found in the agency's ridiculous insistence that airport screening measures are rock-solid. CDC director Frieden makes them sound almost bulletproof. From the LA Times: [1]But CNN medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen went through this so-called screening process and was shocked to discover that the CDC's claims were pure nonsense. As CNN reports: [2]Even more, it turns out to be incredibly easy for travelers to sneak through such screening procedures even if they really did exist like Frieden claims. Simply taking an ibuprofen tablet can lower your temperature and get you through such checkpoints. As the LA Times reports: [1]Thus, the CDC's outlandish claim that "one hundred percent" of travelers are carefully screened before boarding an airplane is nothing short of delusional.Like almost everybody else in the modern medical system today, the CDC leaps to the assumption that there are really only two medical interventions for halting Ebola: Big Pharma drugs (like ZMapp) or vaccines (which are currently being tested in human trials).But this assumption is extremely shortsighted, and following this false assumption is already putting people's lives at risk.In truth, every person who has so far survived Ebola has done so. So why isn't the CDC recommending that people take steps to boost their immune function in anticipation of possible exposure?It's no secret that immune systems are suppressed when the body lacks crucial nutrients like vitamin D, zinc and selenium. Because most Americans are deficient in these nutrients, the simple advice to boost these levels through affordable nutritional intake could make a significant difference in enhancing the population's immune resistance to viral infections.A huge number of culinary herbs, medicinal herbs and herbal remedies have well-known antiviral properties. These include common herbs such as basil, oregano, garlic and even popular mint varieties. ( Listen to episode six of Pandemic Preparedness for a more complete discussion of antiviral herbs and spices.) Why won't the CDC encourage increased intake of these foods as a way to support a healthy immune response during a global pandemic that is clearly out of control?While no nutrient or herb has ever been proven to stop Ebola, it has been proven that the human immune system can stop it. Doesn't it make sense to support that immune system and give it all the nutrients it needs to function at peak performance? Why is this option not even being entertained by the CDC or even the national media?In summary, these five assumptions being made by the CDC are astonishingly irresponsible... even negligent. By spreading these false assumptions as if they were truths, the CDC may ultimately contribute to the deaths of literally millions of innocent Americans.Here at Natural News, we want to see this outbreak halted and contained. That's why we launched www.BioDefense.com where you can download free MP3 audio files that teach lifesaving pandemic preparedness skills. But every single day it seems like we are having to counter the ignorance and disinformation being distributed by the CDC, a vaccine-promoting government department that almost seems to be purposefully spreading disinformation about Ebola in the hopes that it might spread even more . Such a crisis would, of course, create a financial windfall for the very vaccine manufacturers that top CDC employees often end up working for, making lucrative salaries like former CDC director Dr. Julie Gerberding.The conflicts of interest in the CDC's behavior need to be publicly questioned. And we need to have the courage to stand up and ask the biggest question of all:We can't say for sure whether that's the case, but it's a question that needs to be seriously entertained at this point.[1] http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ebola-qu...
