What Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis means, medically-speaking
MSN ^

Posted on 09/12/2016 8:40:28 AM PDT by MNDude

“At this point, there is no reason to believe that Secretary Clinton will be disabled” by pneumonia, American Lung Association scientific adviser Norman H. Edelman told The Washington Post by phone Sunday night.

The CDC estimates that 2 million people a year fall sick with such milder forms of pneumonia. “Developing walking pneumonia does not mean you have poor health,” Stanford University pulmonologist Mark Nicolls said in an interview with The Washington Post. “Young and healthy people develop walking pneumonia.” It is possible there are even more cases than that CDC estimate, too, as walking pneumonia is hard to diagnose. Symptoms rarely stray from coughing, fever, fatigue and other average maladies.

If Clinton indeed has walking pneumonia, there is a decent chance — odds range between 1 to 50 and 1 to 5 — that the culprit is a bug named Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Among bacteria, M. pneumoniae is an oddity. It is both exceptionally small — one of the smallest organisms on earth — and unusually vulnerable, as it lacks the cell walls that sheath most other bacteria. As far as is known, it is an exclusive human parasite, unable to reproduce outside of warm and wet human organs. M. pneumoniae is spread person-to-person, through droplets expelled through the respiratory tract.

Yeah, I’ll bet Chelsea’s got an X-Ray machine in her bathroom.

Yes I agree, it is far more serious than what they are stating that it is pneumonia. The symptoms seem to match that of Parkinson’s which my maternal grandmother died from.

Geez, did someone burn that podium in Cleveland yet?

She actually probably would prefer to phone it in. I feel that in reality she is incapable of lasting the duration of the debate. So while I know you were joking, there is often a lot of truth embedded in there as well.

Great, now explain the seizures, their cause and if that disqualifies her now that you finally admitted that the internet was correct on something being wrong with her health! Explore it all now, because you have now been proved the propagandist fools for hiding Hillary’s ill health.

Did the journos who traveled with her on the “Stronger Together(lol)” plane know that #SickHillary “supposedly” had PNEUMONIA?

Have they fallen ill, or gone to the doctor for innoculations yet? an inquiring mind wants to know.

This is all a lie and cover-up!

Notice how their narrative as to what Hillary has KEEPS CHANGING:

1st "Hillary 'fainted'": Hillary's staff didn't believe extensive video of Hillary's "episode" existed. Therefore, they disseminate an innocuous, non life threatening excuse for what happened before most people had yet seen the videos that actually did exist.

2nd "Hillary was 'overheated'", when that didn't float she was "dehydrated": After some time has elapsed it has become apparent that video of "the event" does indeed exist, people are watching and it is gaining traction and "going viral"; Hillary's staff begins "damage control" they change their excuse to account for what people are seeing.

3rd Her Doctor comes out after "examining her" and says: "Hillary has pneumonia": By this time "the cat is out of the bag" Hillary's staff is in TOTAL DAMAGE CONTROL. They have to say SOMETHING because by this time multitude of people have seen the videos so they come up with an excuse that is slightly serious but not something that is in reality a serious, life threatening illness issue that genuinely accounts for Hillary's symptoms and what she experienced and happened for all to see.

4th The TOTAL DAMAGE CONTROL goes into "over drive": Hillary's staff, the Clinton Crime Family Syndicate and Foundation and their surrogates begin to "scrub" and eradicate the Internet of as many of the extant videos of "the event" as possible.

Through their surrogates they purchase (probably at an exorbitant price = "we made him a financial offer he couldn't refuse") the clearest, longest, most damming video and take it down under the guise that it is now "copyrighted material" which can no longer be posted, distributed or disseminated "without the expressed permission of the owner". That is the point; they will never allow this video to again see the light of day.

When I had pneumonia in my early middle age and relative good health, it took 6 weeks to recover and I lost ten pounds. (Worst diet ever.) How long would it take a nearly 69-year-old woman?

Her "freezing" also goes along with Parkinson's. She was stiff as a board leaning against the bollard. When they tried to move her, she fell. This is likely why she has had so many falls.

"The unpredictability of freezing, along with efforts by well-meaning companions to force the person with PD to move, may cause loss of balance and falls."

I think we can start dusting off the old jokes about how Pravda used to cover up the grave medical condition of Politburo leaders by claiming that they had “colds” and apply them to the press treatment of Hillary

"I’m starting to get that 1970s nostalgia for the USSR’s explanations of an “extended cold” or somesuch to try to explain away the extended absence of a Premier." (August 16)

Has anybody else recently read about blue sunglasses being somewhat effective in the prevention of photoparaxysmal epileptic episodes? If you have, take another look at Hillary when the van pulls up and they attempt to get her into it.

Is epilepsy tied in some way to people with parkinsons?

“Excellent, she should be healthy fodder for the debates then.”

I agree. Then she can make it to November 9th and then she can croak.

“IMO, if they are saying pneumonia it’s probably something worse.”

Yep. Professional criminals who have been cornered are likely to cop to a lesser but serious crime if they think it will save them from something worse.

Granting that pneumonia can be serious in an older person, she has too many symptoms that do not fit such a singular ailment.

There is always the voter fraud that the Pravda insists does not exist.

Add to that the modern electronic voting machines, more illegal aliens then ever, the death of the free internet (just in time!), and abundant early voting, and I will be pleasantly surprised if Trump can overcome all that to bring a glimpse of light back into the long dark tunnel that Soetoro has plunged us into.
