Gateway Pundit:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took down a page this week explaining how Ebola can be spread though coughing, sneezing and sex.
The Gateway Pundit reported last Friday on the CDC information page about ninety minutes after it was promoted by the CDC on Twitter. The image and text of the page were saved and are posted in their entirety at The Gateway Pundit report entitled, CDC: Yes, You Can Catch Ebola from Being Sneezed, Coughed on–or by Having Sex
The CDC page now bears this message:
“The What’s the difference between infections spread through air or by droplets? Fact sheet is being updated and is currently unavailable. Please visit cdc.gov/Ebola for up-to-date information on Ebola.”
The Huffington Post was the first to report Thursday evening about the CDC taking down the Ebola page. The HuffPo report was later updated with a response from the CDC.
“A CDC official said the agency is continually updating its website. “This particular Q&A is being updated to ensure people understand that Ebola is not an airborne virus like the flu and will be reposted soon,” the official said in an email.”
