Laurie Garrett, the Pulitzer-prize winning ebola expert, told the dwindling but still existent viewers of Ronan Farrow\’s show on (where else?) MSNBC the steps that must be taken to prevent ebola from spreading in the United States.
Here is part of what she had to say about ebola on Melissa Harris-Perry\’s MSNBC show just two months ago (but use the link I\’ve provided to see the rest):
“I think the last thing we need to be concerned about is \’oh, will ebola come to America\’. So let\’s just take that off the table for now and get real.
It would have been nice to hear Ms. Garrett acknowledge how wrong she was, and maybe explain what happened that changed things.
But when ego and reality clash, ego all too often wins.
Tell you what, though, Ms. Garrett: it doesn\’t make you any less wrong about what you said then.
