Attempting to quarantine any Ebola-ridden country in West Africa can now be quantified as racist.
From AmericanThinker.com:
Dr. Margaret Chan, the World Health Organization director-general, has said that disruptions in commercial air travel to West Africa would impede the efforts of international health organizations to contain and combat the disease.
“We must be careful not to characterize Ebola as an African disease,” she said in a teleconference on September 3, warning that the stigmatization of the disease with any racial classification would be detrimental to the U.N. effort to control it. “This is an international issue, a global threat. We need to make sure Ebola patients and Ebola-affected countries aren’t stigmatized and isolated.”
We must be careful not to characterize Ebola as an African disease except that it is an African disease. And, of course, you should never isolate Ebola victims.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get more stupid, there dawns a brand new day.
