Nov. 17, 2014 - Loser of the Week - Ebola Nurse

It’s time for a LOSER of the Week. 

This week, it is Kaci Hickox, the EBOLA NURSE.

Hickox was the health worker who objected to the conditions of her quarantine upon returning from west Africa.  She went out, she went bike riding, she bitched and moaned about her situation.  She did everything but operate the Kissing Booth at the county fair. 

Hickox is now objecting to being called “the EBOLA NURSE” in a new op-ed that accuses state politicians of cynically manipulating public fears for political gain.

Really – over 5000 people have died from Ebola.  Can we not make it about YOU?

“I never had Ebola,” Hickox wrote (original emphasis hers) in a Monday op-ed in the Guardian, “so please stop calling me “the Ebola Nurse” – now!”

Hickox accused Republican Governors Chris Christie (New Jersey) and Paul LePage (Maine) of imposing “overzealous” quarantines and exaggerating the risks posed by asymptomatic health workers for political reasons.  It should be now be known that Hickox is a registered Democrat and had written several left-leaning op-eds.

Hickox has co-opted her position as a medical professional (?) for HER political reasons and needlessly endangered others.  Is a 21 –day quarantine that bad?  Did you really put people in possible danger for YOUR POLITCAL REASONS?   

That makes Kaci Hickox,  "The EBOLA NURSE" the LOSER of the Week.
