SACKED? CDC head Tom Frieden may not last to end of week (Photo: Politico)

Another Ebola bombshell dropped today…

CDC spokesman Tom Frieden will likely be forced to fall on his sword after it’s been revealed that his federal agency gave the ‘OK’ to the latest Ebola patient, a Dallas nurse named Amber Vinson– the same nurse who treated America’s first Ebola fatality, Thomas Duncan.

Are the CDC trying to spread Ebola across the US?

It’s not likely that Frieden will be able to withstand the political pressure which is about to come down on his office.

Media pundits and talk radio hosts are already smelling blood, so expect a resignation announcement soon…

Vinson’s comments contradict remarks made earlier today by CDC Director Tom Freiden, who said that she never should have gotten on the plane.

After Vinson reported symptoms of Ebola on Tuesday, she was placed in isolation. On Wednesday, she was transported to Emory Hospital in Atlanta, where she will continue to receive treatment. She is in stable condition…
