T he gulf between politicians and scientists over
Ebola is widening as the nation’s top infectious-dis-
ease expert warned that mandatory quarantining
of medical workers returning from West Africa is
unnecessary, while Gov. Chris Christie contended
it’s needed to protect the public.
“The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Afri-
ca, and we need those health care workers, so we do not want
to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncom-
fortable for them to even volunteer to go,” Dr. Anthony Fauci,
director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, said Sunday.

tined in New Jersey under the state’s new policy, said in a
