"WASHINGTON -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has quietly removed some Ebola information from its website. The changes follow claims from news outlets and conservative blogs that the agency hasn't been forthcoming about how the virus spreads, but it was not clear on Thursday afternoon whether the removal was related to the reports."
The article states that Google cache still has a copy of the information that was removed but that also now has been scrubbed.
The Subject Poster that was posted prior to yesterday is attached in the PDf in this post.
"New CDC confusion over Ebola as it deletes warning that virus can spread through coughs and sneezes from its website
- It has replaced the old language with new guidance that says there's 'no evidence' Ebola is spread through either
- The CDC also took down on Thursday a poster that said that Ebola can be transferred through 'droplets' on hard surfaces, like doorknobs
- It's unclear why the CDC abruptly changed it's Ebola advisories
- The quiet removal of information follows a public health campaign by Sen. Rand Paul to get the CDC to be 'forthright' about Ebola transfer
The original CDC poster that was recently removed is embedded on the Daily Mail article page.

The Return Of The CDC’s `How Ebola Spreads’ Infographic
Droplet Spread – Credit CDC
# 9273
Earlier today I mentioned that an infographic showing that Ebola can potentially spread over short distances via droplets had been temporarily pulled by the CDC, just 5 days after first releasing it (see Guidance Gone, But Not Forgotten). Since this removal was causing such a stir online and in the media, I expressed hopes it would be reinstated soon.
Well, I very pleased to say that a slightly modified (and not in a bad way) version of the original poster has now been uploaded to the CDC’s website.
The central messages remain the same. Ebola isn’t an airborne virus – but it can potentially be spread over short distance via droplets propelled by coughs or sneezes. Exactly why it was deemed necessary to pull the old version eludes me, but I am happy to see the information back online.
