America's shittier doctor!

Wow, I'm sure glad I held off on (couldn't be bothered to) write about shitty doctor, Lee Vliet's latest xenophobic screegasm.

Hot on the heels of her hit single "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT BLACK DEATH BOMB!" she released "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT EBOLA HANTAVIRUS CHICKEN POX LICE MURDER DEATH!"
Ebola. Chikungunya. Dengue. Norovirus. Hantavirus. Swine flu. Varicella. Variola. The names sound like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. Yet, threats to Americans are real, and escalating by the week. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported on August 1 that serious diseases are spreading at detention centers for Illegal border crossers. Health care workers and Border Patrol agents, plus their children, have tested positive for tuberculosis (TB), swine flu, chicken pox, lice and scabies. Instead of being quarantined, illegal border crossers are being dispersed rapidly across the U.S., with those of school age being registered in public schools opening soon for all.
If you're wondering why she's blaming illegal immigrants for things like hanta virus, chicken pox and lice, I did say she's America's Shittiest Doctor, and a regular source of wingnut sausage. Go search Vliet Ebola Illegal and see who has picked up this story, go on, I'll wait.

But it turns out, she isn't alone. Meet Jane Orient, M.D., another member of AAPS. She sees people suffering horrible deaths half-way around the globe and being familiar with the healing arts, asks herself:

Ebola: False Alarm, or the Poor Man's Atomic Bomb?

Because she sucks. I'm sure if you search Orient Ebola Atomic, you'll find lots of the usual rejects parroting this shit. But I'm going to award her the Grand Prix Shit Quack from Hell (this week) for this from her list of action items:
Enable use of non-approved, non-conventional therapy, and prioritize research.
Yes, please don't let us stop you from sounding like the character who got written out of B movie about Nazi zombies for being too over the top or anything, dumb ass.

Skreee - skr-skreee!!



HFAC includes such blunt knives as Dana Roarbladder (RGoogleggedon), Curt Clownson (RBollywood) and ... Blah. See for yourself.

Do you think they'll start kicking around conspiracy theories? I think they'll start kicking around conspiracy theories. You know the USAfrica Summit must have them feeling dreadfully jumpy already.

Update - I promise to update with highlights.

Yuck

If you're tired of reading about various bad people doing various bad things to other people (often while slightly less nasty people cheer them on), why not take a break and read about a really, really, really thrifty doctor?
An investigation that found syringes were being reused at a West Virginia pain management clinic — whose operator had his medical license revoked in Texas — was triggered after a patient developed bacterial meningitis, a health official said Tuesday.
You're welcome!

Look, if you ever find yourself locked in debate with a libertarian and shouting "Look, Ayn Rand!" doesn't work, share this story and ask how the free market could prevent it. That is sure to buy you a couple of seconds of silence and you can make your escape/launch your attack.
