http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/nih-doctor-schools-elisabeth-hasselbeck-after-she-asks-him-to-seal-the-borders-over-ebola/Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Monday asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institiute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, why he was not recommending a closing of our borders in response to an Ebola outbreak in west Africa.
On Mondays edition of Fox & Friends, Hasselbeck pointed out that a freelance NBC cameraman was being allowed to return to the U.S. after being infected with Ebola. And a man in Dallas who traveled from the Liberia to the U.S. was also fighting for his life.
Why are we still letting people into the country who could have possibly been exposed? she asked. Why not just shut down the flights and secure the borders? Many of you want to know Why not, just as a precaution until we get things under control, seal off the border temporarily?
Fauci said that he understood why people might jump to the conclusion that a travel ban might help, but he said that Hasselbecks suggestion didnt make any sense because preventing countries from getting aid could make the epidemic worse.

I dunno, maybe John Stossel was right?

I am going to be very careful here but is Elisabeth Hasselbeck the stupidest person alive or does she truly only listen to what Fox News tells her. Every time I see her talk I have to cover my ears because she sounds so shrill. She also gets so upset at anybody who challenges her supposed knowledge of the subject.
"is Elisabeth Hasselbeck the stupidest person alive or does she truly only listen to what Fox News tells her"
Those do not have to be mutually exclusive.
