Americans may be purposely being kept in the dark when it comes to the Ebola crisis, says Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and board-certified emergency trauma physician.
"Either we're being lied to or the CDC is incompetent and don't know what they're doing," Mobley said Wednesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on
Newsmax TV.

"They're not even using the word 'airborne', but they're saying now it can be transmitted within 3 feet. That sounds pretty airborne to me."
Mobley — who made a splash earlier this month when he visited an Atlanta airport wearing a Hazmat suit with the words "CDC is lying!" on the back — said the lack of clarity could have bad repercussions.
"The way to get a panic is to give out misinformation, like blaming the healthcare workers for a breach in protocol when there was none and not saying we don't know how it spread," he said.
"Dr. Robin Cook, the guy who wrote the book on Ebola, said last week on national TV he doesn't think anybody knows how it's spread . . . The fact of the matter is, we don't. If they were to be honest, we wouldn't be freaking out."
