Amber Vinson, the second nurse to contract Ebola from Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan, praised God as she left Emory University hospital after being declared Ebola free.

“I’m so grateful to be well, and first and foremost, I want to thank God. I sincerely believe that with God all things are possible,” the 29-year-old told reporters at a press conference. “While the skill and dedication of the doctors, nurses and others who have taken care of me have obviously led to my recovery, it has been God’s love that has truly carried my family and me through this difficult time, and has played such an important role in giving me hope and the strength to fight.”

Vinson had caused concern when she became symptomatic after flying back to Dallas from Cleveland.  The CDC had to contact all the passengers on the flight to alert them to be vigilant for possible Ebola infection.

“While this is a day of celebration and gratitude, I ask that we not lose focus of the thousands of families who continue to labor under the burden of this disease in West Africa,” Vinson said. “Thank you to Dr. Kent Brantley and Nancy Writebol, both of whom were successfully treated here at Emory, for your donations of plasma for me and other patients. Finally, my family and I would like to thank many people whose prayers have helped sustain us.”

Dr. Bruce Ribner of Emory University said that Vinson is no threat to the community.
