WBLN! Your news, your station.

Welcome to Talk the Night, with you till dawn! I'm Dawn Stevenson.

I'm with Dr Jack Galbraithe, the former Chief Scientist of...

... the Center for Disease Control.

Now Dr. Galbraithe, you left the CDC in... dramatic fashion.

Does that matter? After years of cuts and funding reductions...

... and with this nightmare scenario in Kentucky...

... you're bringing that up now?

People might think you have an axe to grind.

I was a scapegoat. The Raleigh outbreak was AGAIN...

... due to department after department of the CDC being shuttered.

Only livestock were affected.

And the Knox Event. Do you trust what we've heard?

Do you? Does anyone?

There clearly is, maybe was, a very communicable illness in there.

I can only assume the spread has slowed, which is why they are confident. But...

We're very clearly being left in the dark.

We could buy the silence for a few days. But now?

They don't want to risk more riots.

But those people are NOT going to get better.

Do you have evidence to substantiate this?

Do you have evidence to deny it?

This situation will blow up in the President's face.

America is not ready.

Our Disease Control systems have been dismantled...

... in exchange for a few more bucks in the bank.

Military force cannot contain desperate people...

... in a desperate situation.

Sobering thoughts.

Thank you Dr. Galbraithe.
