Kaci Hickox Ebola Quarantine Terminated By Extremist Judge

by JASmius



It's official, my fellow Obamerikastanis: There is now a constitutional right to spread ebola:

A Maine judge gave nurse Kaci Hickox the OK to go wherever she pleases, handing state officials a defeat Friday in the nation's biggest court case yet over how to balance personal liberty, public safety and fear of Ebola.

Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere ruled that Hickox must continue daily monitoring of her health but said there is no need to isolate her or restrict her movements because she has no symptoms and is therefore not contagious.

The judge also decried the "misconceptions, misinformation, bad science and bad information" circulating about the lethal disease in the U.S.

aka The facts.  Like how Dr. Craig Spencer wasn't displaying any symptoms, "promised" to home quarantine himself, which also included patronizing several restaurants, going bowling, and riding the subway, and then.....came down with ebola.  God only knows how many people he exposed and infected.  Or Amber Vinson, the Dallas nurse who was exposed to ebola while treating Thomas Eric Duncan (aka "Ebola Tom" and "Patient Zero"), wasn't exhibiting symptoms, was okayed by the CDC to fly to Cleveland and back, and then....came down with ebola.  God only knows how many people she exposed and infected.  Or the late Mr. Duncan himself, who lied on his travel health form about his exposure to ebola, flew right into Washington, D.C., transferred planes and flew to Dallas, all without exhibiting any symptoms, was even examined at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and sent home, where he....came down with ebola.  God only knows how many people he exposed and infected.  Besides Nurses Pham and Vinson, of course.  That we know about.

And now Kaci Hickox will join that burgeoning club, not displaying any ebola symptoms until she....comes down with ebola.  And God only knows how many people she will have exposed and infected, or how many she has already.

Rest assured, I hope and pray that Miss Hickox doesn't come down with ebola. I don't want anybody to contract hemorrhagic fever, least of all to bolster a debate point. But what if she does? And that is the question that is being deliberately, criminally negligently ignored. It's a question that it is Barack Obama's job to ask, and to err on the side of caution. It's the very reason why Ellis Island is so prominent in American history. The inbound wave of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were fed through Ellis Island because those that were found to be carrying, or suffering from, infectious diseases could then be quarantined before being released into the general U.S. population.  It wasn't an exercise in "prejudice" or "discrimination" or "bigotry"; it was no-brainer, common sense protection of the American people.

A century ago, common sense....was.  Today, we've lost our ever-lovin' minds.

Maine health officials had gone to court on Thursday in an attempt to bar her from crowded public places and require her to stay at least 3 feet from others until the 21-day incubation period for Ebola was up on November 10th. She would have been free to jog or go bike riding.

But the judge turned the state down.

Governor Paul LePage [I bet you couldn't tell he's a Republican, couldja?] said he disagreed with the ruling but will abide by it. Officials said there are no plans to appeal.

"As governor, I have done everything I can to protect the health and safety of Mainers. The judge has eased restrictions with this ruling, and I believe it is unfortunate," LePage said.

Indeed. Especially for all the Americans that die horribly of an entirely preventable contagion, none of whom will need to have perished but for the malevolent zealotry of Barack Obama and his zombie followers.

To appropriately modify the farewell address of President James Buchanan, "The present administration had no alternative but to prevent the epidemic, and deliberately chose not to.  Americans will die, perhaps almost to a man; we can only hope and pray that the country will be sustained despite all the president's deliberately induced hazards."
