Dr. David Sanders, a Purdue University professor of biological science, tells Fox News why he sharply disagrees with the Centers for Disease Control regarding the potential for Ebola going airborne.
“…we have to consider the possibility that it can enter through an airway route,” said Sanders, adding that the virus can “morph” or “mutate” as the outbreak continues in Africa.http://www.westernjournalism.com/shock-what-this-ebola-expert-just-revealed-totally-shatters-claims-of-obamas-health-officials/

Trained people,using all protective gear,come down with ebola. The NBC news crew were exposed to the cameraman without any gear and they violated the quarantine.
Not only do they deserve mandatory quarantine but they should have criminal charges pressed against them for endangering an outbreak of ebola in N.J.
