In an interview with Fox anchor Megyn Kelly, a combative CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden defended how the agency has been handling the Ebola threat.
“No, let me correct you on that,” Dr. Frieden said in the middle of Kelly’s sentence. Kelly said the agency’s heart and intentions were in the right place, but that its information was wrong.
“Our information is clear and correct,” Frieden said. “But we do look at what happens and we adjust as we need to. We know how Ebola spreads and we know how to stop it.”
The interview came just one night before Texas health officials confirmed that another health care worker had tested positive for the deadly virus after the first health care worker infection, an infection Kelly noted, Frieden assured Americans would never happen.
