Fox’s Chris Wallace Fear Mongers About Ebola Being Spread By Illegal Immigrants

On today’s Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace “just asked” what the chances are that some illegal immigrants will carry the Ebola virus with them when they “come over our porous southern border." 

Wallace asked that question to Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases.

Before interviewing Fauci, Wallace suggested in a prior interview that there “are some people in the Dallas area understandably, if perhaps unreasonably, panicking.”

But he made up for that restraint during his interview with Fauci. There Wallace suggested that either immigrants or terrorists will start an Ebola pandemic. Fortunately, Fauci shot down the suggestion:

WALLACE: What are the chances—another question—what are the chances that illegal immigrants are going to come over our porous southern border with Ebola or the terrorists will purposely send someone here using Ebola as a bio-terror weapon?

FAUCI: OK, two parts to the question. I wouldn’t be worrying about illegal immigrants coming from southern borders when we have an issue right now with Ebola in West Africa. I mean, that’s a hypothetical, that’s very far-fetched.

As far as terrorism: nature right now, Chris, is the worst bioterrorist. I’m worried more about the natural evolution in West African than I am about a terrorist.

WALLACE: I also suppose, if you’re going to do a bio-terror weapon, Ebola isn’t the most effective one.

FAUCI: That would not be—if I were a bioterrorist, that would not be my choice.

WALLACE: Because it doesn’t—

FAUCI: No, it would be inefficient. Nature does it much worse than a bioterrorist.

On today’s Reliable Sources on CNN, Media Matters caught PBS’ Miles O’Brien slamming Fox’s coverage.

It saddens me that our government is not telling the whole truth, about the viruses running rampant around the country. Are you even aware that strains of drug resistant Tuberculosis, which had all but vanished from America, has returned to the United States, arriving inside foreign born individuals, and the vast majority of any type of TB is in a person who was virtually born abroad? This is according to Dr. Jane Orient, Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. While this is a major concern this Administration is staying tight-lipped about the virus that it is flooding children’s bodies, causing tragic deaths and potential paralysis permanently. The outbreak of a respiratory enter virus D68, which has spread like wildfire in schools likely caused by the surge in illegal aliens, carrying the virus very prevalent in South America. The Enterovirus D68 typically causes flu-like symptoms, but in some cases it can cause wheezing and breathing problems that may require hospitalization. Because of President Obama’s refusal to enforce our immigration laws, beginning with the porous borders, and unknown numbers of people from Mexico, the Africa continent, Pakistan, Syria and other Middle Eastern countries with poor hygiene have entered illegally. One of his executive orders to the Supervisors for the US Border Patrol was ‘Catch and Release” and now our nation is paying for his inept policies.

According to a report from an interview on BREITBART by Ian Hanchett, Dr. Orient about the contagiousness of and potential for weaponizing the Ebola virus, reporting “the CDC, on its website, still says you can’t get it through the air, however, they’re putting out more directives of a Canadian public health services saying ‘well, maybe you can get it through the air.’ This type of air transmission has occurred in animals that had no contact except through the air. And Even so, it’s very, very contagious; it only takes between 5 and 10 virus particles to infect a person. You don’t have to have cuts…there are receptors for the viruses in [people’s] normal skin." And “it’s extremely transmissible that’s why people who like the idea of killing off 90% of population say it would be an ideal agent for accomplishing that. There have been attempts to weaponize it…but you don’t really need an ICBM warhead to transmit this, you just some infected people coming across your border." She further stressed that the government should devote more resources to securing the border to prevent the spread of disease.

IF YOU ARE FEEL MISERABLE UNDER OBAMA GRAND RULE AND HIS TROUBLEMAKERS AS SEN. REID, ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER, SEN. PELOSI check this site that has the phone Numbers and Mailing Addresses of Members of Congress contact them at: www.contactingthecongress to stipulate an end to illegal immigration, the dismantling of our laws, sovereignty, citizen rights and even our of abolition of our military, which is protection against our enemies foreign an domestic. Illegal Immigration is rapidly becoming the top priority for Americans, because they see its impact on the sterile economy and lost jobs. WE NEED TO PLACE OUR OWN PEOPLE IN JOBS AS A PRIORITY, NOT KEEP IMPORTING FOREIGNERS. Thousands of American workers should not be laid off, to give their jobs to cheap labor. Large corporations and big business are laying-off birthright, naturalized citizens and green card holders, making an avenue for lower paid illegal aliens. I personally have become an Independent after decades being in the Lefts aisle. Who cares who votes as long as they are eligible to vote and a US citizen?

BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, AMERICANS MUST BE ON THEIR GUARD FOR NON-CITIZENS ILLEGALLY VOTING? Democrats have no sense of honor, to stop illegal aliens from voting or people voting in two/three different precincts or other counties and even violating the law with absentee ballots. Individuals, who want something for nothing, will be in election halls in droves and voting for Socialistic Obama Congressional House. I am sure that ACORN, who violated the law in registering anybody for a dollar or two, is back under another group of names. This is the number for the central switchboard for every member of Congress to address your opposition at 800-224-3121. As an addition you can contact a Senator or Congressman by typing the abbreviation (Sen) or (Rep) name into any Search Engine such as Yahoo. For more details go NumbersUSA, Unipac and the spreading numbers of NATIONAL TEA PARTY Offices.

O’Brien isn’t the only one- A lot of the medical/scientific community is calling out Fox’s Ebola coverage as criminally irresponsible, and dangerous. But I do have a quick snark:

Why is it that we’re not seeing Lord Ben Carson of the salvation of Healthcare and Hospitals condemning what they’re doing? Why, it’s almost like he wants to promote this as his “third term via hysteria” scenario.

@joe Marsh. The random fear mongering of Fux Noise at times overwhelms their aging, white teabagging audience. Brown-skinned illegal aliens, black-skinned Africans, Moose-lim terrorists. Carrying bombs and who knows what type of cooties into the USA. Fux Noise: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

On more than one occasion over the summer, while ranting about the “invasion” of little brown children, Slanthead Hannity suggested they could be carrying Ebola (in addition to the terrifying cooties and other scourges they could be bringing).

Maybe now, Hannity will think twice about relocating to Texas? The wing nut broadcasters there are sweating profusely. Ebola has been a major topic on that worthless overnight Red Eye Radio, with McNamara and Harley who pollute the airwaves in the wee hours from Dallas.

[For those who haven’t had the pleasure, these are two bitter, aging hacks who — when they aren’t sharing stories about mowing their lawns filling their pools and visiting McDonalds — screech endlessly about the lying by anyone connected to Obama; “He LIED! She LIED! They LIED!!!”]

Getting back to Hannocchio (speaking of lies), one can almost imagine his utter disappointment when it turned out that Alton Nolen (the Oklahoma beheader) did NOT recently swim across the Rio Grande. Slanthead wants so badly to prove that evil is coming across the border.

And even though Hannity also can’t prove that Nolen got his orders from ISIS, he knows in his all-Amerikan heart that the tragedy in Oklahoma was not workplace violence but an act of pure, radical Moose-lim evil!

Fortunately, Dr. Anthony Fauci, of the NIAID, shot down Wallace's suggestion as "very far-fetched."
