Can I Airlift the Medic or Quarantine Specialist after an Infection card is drawn but before its cubes are placed?

The designer confirmed this in 2008 and 2013 and the rulebook gives the same example.

No. No time passes between flipping the card and placing its cubes, so you cannot prevent that infection or outbreak. You can Airlift after the card is fully resolved, before the next one is flipped.
