ajc | Two days after a man in Texas was diagnosed with Ebola, a Missouri doctor Thursday morning showed up at Atlanta’s
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport dressed in protective gear to
protest what he called mismanagement of the crisis by the federal
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Gil Mobley checked
in and cleared airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots
and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, “CDC
is lying!”
“If they’re not lying, they are grossly incompetent,”
said Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from
Springfield, Mo.
Mobley said the CDC is “sugar-coating” the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
Efforts to reach a CDC spokesperson for comments on Mobley’s criticism have been unsuccessful.
“For them to say last week that the likelihood of importing an Ebola case was extremely small was a real bad call,” he said.
“Once
this disease consumes every third world country, as surely it will,
because they lack the same basic infrastructure as Sierra Leone and
Liberia, at that point, we will be importing clusters of Ebola on a
daily basis,” Mobley predicted. “That will overwhelm any advanced
country’s ability to contain the clusters in isolation and quarantine.
That spells bad news.”
Mobley, a Medical College of Georgia graduate who had an overnight layover after flying to Atlanta
from Guatemala on Wednesday, said that he feels that the CDC is “asleep
at the wheel” when it comes to screening passengers arriving in the
United States from other countries.
“Yesterday, I came through international customs at the Atlanta airport,” the doctor told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The only question they asked arriving passengers is if they had tobacco or alcohol.”
Mobley
is director of a free-standing emergency clinic in Springfield that
specializes in workplace injuries. He has been an advocate of medical
marijuana use, and formerly operated a clinic in Seattle that
specialized in medical cannabis authorizations.

1) My position on the "Popular Black American Political Agenda" - after 50 years of fusing the "Black consciousness" into politics - when the Black Diaspora needed MORE PHYSICIANS heading INTO the fire as other "Foreign Nationals" were leaving through the fire doors - WE NOW SEE that these past 50 years has NOT PRODUCED surplus "professional competencies" , allowing the Negro in America to lend "The Least Of These" a hand at a time of crisis
2) We now see that the PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY NET is the critical asset that needed to be in place BEFOREHAND to protect the vulnerable is a treasure trove of 'Purpose' that, if his consciousness lent it to him - the Negro In America could be activated.
The CDC implements the POLICY on behalf of the US Government. I toured their "Command Room" and credit them for their communications network
For the BLACK AMERICAN (who I hear on "The Friday Night Drum" www.waok.com talking about 'Freguson' rather than "Monrovia" or "Sierra Leon" ) - it is clear that they have been duped.
Ebola contrasted with "Katrina" - it is clear that the consumer who demands a "response" had no intention of building up competencies among his own ranks, connected to the others within the diaspora.
