Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, warned that the U.S. could be underestimating the potential for Ebola to wreak havoc in the U.S. because of "political correctness."

"It's a big mistake to underestimate the potential for problems worldwide," Paul said on "The Laura Ingraham Show" Tuesday.

Citing reassurances by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Tom Frieden, that there was little risk of a traveler bringing Ebola to the United States and causing an outbreak, Paul countered, "I really think that it is being dominated by political correctness and I think because of political correctness we're not really making sound, rational, scientific decisions on this."

The CDC announced Tuesday that the first U.S. case of Ebola had been confirmed in a Liberian man who had traveled to Dallas to visit family.

"We should not underestimate the transmissibility of this," Paul, an opthamologist by trade, said, noting that even doctors and nurses wearing gloves, gowns and masks are contracting the disease. "My suspicion is that it's a lot more transmissible than that if people who are taking every precaution are getting it. There are people getting it who simply helped people get in or out of a taxicab."

Sen. Rand Paul sounds Ebola alarm

Sen. Rand Paul is warning that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention might be downplaying the threat from the Ebola virus.

The Kentucky Republican, appearing on The Laura Ingraham Show on Wednesday, said the CDC and the Obama administration are giving off a false sense of security.

This could get beyond our control, said Paul, an ophthalmologist.

The CDC on Tuesday announced that a man at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital had the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. The agency is now monitoring a group of 12 to 18 people who might have been exposed to the virus for symptoms. CDC Director Tom Frieden emphasizing both the sophistication of the U.S. public health system and the difficulty of transmitting a disease like Ebola has said repeatedly that he has no doubt that well stop this in its tracks in the U.S.

Paul, though, on Wednesday questioned Friedens statements and said health officials might be underestimating the diseases potential impact in the U.S. and worldwide.

I think because of political correctness were not really making sound, rational, scientific decisions on this, the senator said. Its a big mistake to underestimate the potential for problems worldwide.

Paul, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, also expressed concern about President Barack Obamas plan announced earlier this month to send up to 3,000 troops to combat Ebola in West Africa, the major hub of the disease.

You also have to be concerned about 3,000 soldiers getting back on a ship, he said, expressing concern about the spread of disease in close quarters. Can you imagine if a whole ship full of our soldiers catch Ebola? he asked later.

The senator also referenced reports that the U.S. patient had contact with another individual who had Ebola, and helped her into a taxi in Liberia after the woman couldnt get an ambulance. There are people getting it who simply helped people get in or out of a taxicab, Paul said.

Health experts have largely expressed caution about a potential outbreak in the U.S., saying that the country has superior treatment, sanitation, communication and medical practices than certain countries in West Africa.
