What an amazing asshat he is.

.@ChuckCJohnson you’re irresponsibility and smears know no bounds; DWB/MSF does tremendous work to bring health care to forlorn regions

So, he’s now pushing baseless rumors and smears about DWB/MSF.

They’ve been fighting the Ebola outbreak with next to no outside support and they were ahead of the WHO warning that the outbreak was spiraling out of control because they couldn’t get enough resources to stop it. The WHO downplayed their warnings. And the consequences have been dire.

And more than 400 of MSF/DWB health workers have been sickened or died b/c of their attempts to care for other stricken patients under the worst conditions imaginable.

Here in the US, if you get sick with Ebola, you’ll likely end up in a Level 1 trauma center facility with an isolation ward with negative air pressure and HEPA filters with UV protection for air handling, strict PPE protocols, and stringent controls and access to pretty much any medicine known or considered.

In Africa, in the heart of the outbreak, you might have one kind of heart medicine, aspirin, and other basics - all in short supply. They’re short on everything.
