Responding to growing calls to appoint an “Ebola czar” to lead America’s battle against the deadly virus, sources confirm to Fox News that President Obama plans to name Ron Klain, a longtime political hand with no apparent medical or health care background.
“Appointed by our President Barack Obama is former White House official Ron Klain to coordinate the U.S. government’s response to the Ebola outbreak, an administration official said on Friday. He is an attorney, comes to the job with strong management credentials, extensive federal government experience overseeing complex operations and good working relationships with leading members of Congress, as well as senior Obama administration officials, including the president,” the official said to fox news.com.
What is a czar? This word by definition, is any person exercising great authority or power in a particular field. This man has no medical background, not even a license as M.D. working as even a general practitioner who understands all diseases in general. Wouldn’t you want someone with medical background who decides for our US guiding our President in what to do with medical diseases, and who makes the decision in what is best to protect our country by giving the President what proper direction to go towards? I would.
Isn’t this bizarre to you or at least don’t you question why this man is not a biology major, or a scientist, or a M.D. or something in science research?
I could understand if our President gave this role to Mr. Ron Klain with a science major as a doctor, biologist, scientist or someone with a lot of disease research knowledge experience working with him but so far no one in media or the President himself has not mentioned that this is the case. You already have officials mentioning this concern with the media with no one defending it that favors the czar decision by our President. We don’t even have a general surgeon in place, our President has still has not made a decision who takes on this role at this present time.
The surgeon general is the operational head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned in the federal government and thus the leading spokesperson on matter of public heath in the federal government of the U.S. for 4 years, when hired. This person reports to the Assistant Secretary of Health, who may be a 4 star general in the United States Public Health Service, Commissioned Corps. and who serves as the PRINCIPLE advisor to the secretary of heath and scientific issues but we don’t have one chosen yet by our President. Such a vital position for our country to be safe regarding American citizens health on a daily basis. Is this decision by our President logical for protecting and keeping health in the U.S. safe? Is this logical?
Rep. Bill Johnson stated on CNN today “I am not going to question the President” with hesitancy but yet states he has “concerns” he stated in wondering “why he has no science or medical background”. I personally heard it on CNN straight from his mouth not someone else’s.
Do you not have confidence in the CDC? he was asked by CNN today this morning and he even responded “Absolutely not, and the CDC found this out in March but we have no resolution yet. They don’t know how this spread went to 2 coworkers in the same hospital.”
Do you feel safe? I am concerned.
Do you find this scary living in the U.S.? I have my concerns not that I am moving out of the country or locking myself up in my house, like a paranoia case but this situation means we need to CONTAIN this situation with proper PREVENTION of this disease before ever becoming an epidemic.
