Earlier this month, Geraldo Rivera dismissed and mocked the idea of West Africa travel bans as senseless, unnecessary “scare-mongering”:
Like everything else in American life, the Ebola fight has deteriorated into scare-mongering partisan fight over travel ban from West Africa
— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 6, 2014
To those advocating a travel ban on West Africa to prevent spread of Ebola, do they also now advocate a travel ban on Texas?

Yesterday it was learned that a doctor in New York City tested positive for Ebola, and Geraldo sure did change his tune quickly:
Stop civilian air travel from 3 Ebola-infected West African nations now. US military can begin Berlin-style airlift to ferry aid&aid workers

That was a quick turnaround!
@GeraldoRivera wait didn't you say the OPPOSITE not long ago?

@GeraldoRivera @johnnydollar01 STFU, Gerald Rivers, you were decrying "fearmongers" 3 weeks ago. Now you've got common sense? Doubtful.

@GeraldoRivera Sure when it hits your town but not when it hit my town.
