Correction: I’ve been informed that Epidemic Intelligence Service trainees are considered “employees” of the CDC, so I deleted that tweet.

It remains true, however, that this is a post-grad training program, and Kaci Hickox is not a “spokesperson” for the CDC.

But even if Hickox *were* a spokesperson, what would be wrong with that? Demonizing someone because they work for the CDC is *insane*.

It’s a mark of how batshit nuts the right has gotten that they’re now attacking and demonizing the Centers for Disease Control.

Now @gatewaypundit is attacking Samantha Power for calling doctors and nurses who treat Ebola “heroes.” These people are insanely hateful.

Is this really where the right has ended up? Attacking and vilifying doctors and nurses for trying to save lives and cure disease? WTF!
