africa, a physician died of ebola and two others that contracted ebola survived. what did we learn from that experience and what changes have we made from that. >> three lessons were learned. one that we need every country to find and prevent epidemics. that's what we call the global health security agenda. we need the world organizations and the global organizations to be able to surge rapidly when a country exapty is overwhelmed. that has happened in the democratic republic of congo with the ebola outbreak, also inspection control is essential, a couple of illnesses can amplify in to a large scawl problem, that's important in the united states for antimicrobial and it's important for ebola. >> this patient and the other healthcare workers that contracted ebola were in the emergency department, went to the emergency department and were treated in the emergency departments. the first line of defense against any emerging infection or outbreak in the united states is going to be the emergency departments and the first responders, what are you doing in terms of the c

such as ebola, zika, and the threat of a pandemic influenza. let's take one of these, ebola. you mentioned in your opening statement, as others have, about the west africa outbreak and the recent outbreak in the democratic republic of the congo. it's important that the c.d.c., the n.i.h. and other agencies of the public health service responded very rapidly there. one thing that was proven that's important is that you can do good research in the context of an outbreak. and we developed with others a vaccine which is called the v.s.v. vaccine which was first tried in a phase one trial right in bethesda at the n.i.h. clinical center and then went over to africa in a phase two trial. this is the vaccine that was used in the ring vaccination program that was actually involved in the west africa outbreak. if you then fast forward a couple of years to where we are today, with the outbreak in the democratic republic of the congo, we have actually learned a lot and are applying what we learned to that. the experimental vaccine used in the ring vaccination program has been deployed to

we know a physician traveled to ebola from south texas died of ebola. two others contracted survived. what did we learn because of the experience and what changes have you made because of that? >> three key lessons learned. one we need every country to have the ability to find, stop and prevent epidemics. that is what we call the global health security agenda. a second thing was we need the world organizations, the global organizations to be able to surge rapidly when a country's capacity to is overwhelmed and that has actually happened effectively in the democratic republic of congo with this ebola outbreak recently. the third thing we learned infection control is essential. that an issue that is one illness or a couple illnesses can amplify into a very large-scale problem when we don't have adequate infect control. that is important in the united states for antimicrobe beale resistance and countries developing tb and for sars. >> this patient and two other health care workers contracted ebola were emergency departments, went to emergency departments,

there's an ebola outbreak in west africa, and a nipa virus outbreak in india. we have seen humans in china contract the strain of influenza which has been confined to birds them strain it rated by the cdc's influence should risk assessment tool as posing the greatest risk to cause a public pandemic. the 2013 address to president obama and senator roger wicker that originatessed in my home state of mississippi and the anthrax mailings is a remind over the risk of intentional piologial attacks. today's hearing especially timely given that the committee is considering bipartisan legislation sponsored by miss brooks and miss eshoo to rethundershower the pandemic and all hazards preparednessing a which is set to spire at the end of september. passage of papah will provide critical certainty for publication health agencies and industry partners and bring about much needed reforms. one such reform proposed in the legislation is transferring control of the strategy county national stockpile from the cdc to hhs's service of the assistant secretary for preparedness and r

ebola or things like cancer or hiv. that shows how partisanship can cause problems in our attempts to deal with these diseases. i am concerned about the lack of appreciation for scientific evidence. we need science to show us how best to fight diseases and to influence effective policy and the lack of advice in the white house administration should be a cause of deep concern to americans. there is no scientific advisor in place. the office that provides this service is then. there were a few qualified people to provide that kind of advice in the event of a future disaster. host: the torilla from oregon. victoria from oregon. nursed during the hong kong flu. people forget about that. we lost a lot and i became a victim but our hospital was quarantined. it was scary. concern is the inequality of access to health care from state to take -- states. i see west virginia has not expanded medicaid and their problems would be a real set up for some type of an epidemic. the state next-door expanded medicaid so people have better

things like ebola and other viral-hemorrhage fevers are not spread by insects. mers,e things like sars, mostve flu, probably the pandemic threat of all that is found in birds, poultry and chicken and docks, it is found in pigs, it circulates around the world all the time. so this is not something that is going to be debt with by dealing with one particular sector, like insects. it is something we need to think about holistically in terms of surveillance, getting hospitals ready, getting vaccines ready, and as we talked about already, getting politicians on board with the seriousness of the potential threat. therehow much concern is that a pandemic will happen in the united states now? ed: it is really hard to predict. it's almost a cliche but the predict is itsan unpredictability. we are in the centennial of the 1918 flu pandemic, when the great disasters in history. he killed between 50 million and 100 million people. wellhing like that could turn up again. flu pandemics repeatedly happen. 2009 was very mild, much, much milder than 1918. same kind of deadliness

we see this rescission measure on ebola funding. does this make any sense knowing what you know about the situation in the continent of africa? >> i think it's a great question and it's a global issue about not investi ining abroad and no making what are really needed priority in global health. there's really growing data that shows when we invest in health, you see improvements in economic growth, security, you see improvements in social cohesion. in many ways it's actually critical to achieving some of the goals that e wanted to see. for example, in 2015, senators did a white paper that showed that countries that received fund i funding then receive saw much improvement on the human development index and saw marketed increases in economic growth. my colleague and i did a study through harvard that was looking specifically at countries recipients of health aid. we saw near immediate improvements in governing structure, safety security, economic growth and other me tri -- metrics of peace. we know this the critical beyond just the m

-- excuse me, ebola money was rescinded in that bill some weeks ago. but not in this bill, because he changed it because very frankly, mr. speaker, they found out, oops, we need the ebola money, and so they took it out of this bill. we think you need the chip money. we think we need the chip money o make sure that if there is a happening or occurance that occurs that the chip money is needed either directly or indirectly to make sure that children, in fact, are taken care of. and who has said that? mr. tom cole said that. we used that money effectively and appropriately. so mr. speaker, it's hard to believe that the ebola money which i was assured was not needed was restored by our republican friends, mr. speaker. because they found out, yes, it is needed. , , in terms of wasting time 65 votes over the last congress to repeal the affordable care act. 65. with a full and unquestioned knowledge that none of those votes would result in something happening for our country. in the united states. they weren't going to vote for that. they knew that. so we spe

. >> -- for so many reasons, around ebola.nd when others came in to help -- ourselves and the cdc and other of the other nations came in -- it was using the pepfar model, that we're not just going to go in and do something for them. we're going to partner with them and help them build some form of a sustainable infrastructure to respond. so, right now, just a couple of years later, if we had the same situation in those countries, because of the application of the pepfar model, you wouldn't see the catastrophe that you saw in 2014 with 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths. point number one. point number two -- during the ebola outbreak, when individuals who got infected left the west african countries and went elsewhere, such as nigeria and mali, it was the experience that they had in those other countries of a sustainable structure that almost everyone who responded to the ebola people were people who have been working through the pepfar syst system, so it's amazing how pepfar has created a model of when you're going to respond and

thrilled about is one by a science writers, writes for national geographic, best selling, and on the ebola crisis. he's writing a book for us called tangled trees. and he's writing about horizontal gene transfer. what he does in the book, he looks at key scientific pioneers who discovered this process. so the headline might be something like, donald trump is not entirely human and neither are you. and it turns out that each of us have about 8% of our dna that's not human, it's bacteriaal. and each of the scientists figure out how this happened so you're seeing some research play out in crisper technology that's developed. and you see it in our resistance to bacteria, the direct product of that. that's interesting, a big book for us. we have former secretary arne duncan, how schools were. a surprisingly dramatic and candid book about the state of education in the nation today. and also, i shouldn't forget, later this summer, we have chris shivers. he's from the new york times. a prize winner, former marine writing about the soldiers in the wars in iraq and afghanistan, in the spirit of disp

on the other hand, when there was a recent ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo, we were to access regional vernacular radio stations. there is a huge range. it is not an equal level field right now. and the real skill for monitoring journalists is that they know what is relevant and what is important and that is the essential insight into what the human journalist brings which you cannot get with an algorithm or a search. what is bbc monitoring is doing specifically about fake news? you could say that we are really needed more than ever right now. we are able to service a much broader range of fake news stories orjust disinformation, misinformation, because we are following our sources all the time. when you have a much broader lens, if you open up the lens, you are able to see that these incidents, or this way of messaging is happening in lots of different countries. it is not the sole subject of the white house or the brexit debate. we had a recent story about the venezuelan elections. there were a lot of fake news stories around the venezuelan elections. you know that

is an ebola outbreak in democratic republic of congo? you cannot make this stuff up. it took language in a manager's amendment to reverse this. just like the majority was forced to reverse cuts to funds designed to help new york and new jersey recover from superstorm sandy. perhaps if you did a hearing and you listened to members of congress, you listen to the committees of jurisdiction, you might avoid these embarrassments. this bill is also being considered under yet another record breaking closed rule. that means no member can offer an amendment on the floor to improve it. last month, republicans officially turned this congress into the most closed congress in history. it was only may. we still have six months to go before the end of this congress. apparently there is no end in sight for the majority's restrictive process. it would make putin jealous. this is not a process to be proud of. this is a process the republicans should be ashamed of. and the cuts in this bill aren't harmless. they will hurt real people. almost half the cuts
