So let me get this straight. Reeve was suffering from a serious blood infection brought on by bed sores that ultimately caused the heart attack at his home

Doesnt mean that they all occured at the same time. It doesnt say when he got the bed sores which got infected. The infection then got into his blood which allowed his heart to get infected, causing a form of heart failure. Once the heart was damaged it didnt make any difference whether he still had an infection or not. The infection could have been cured months ago. Once he had heart failure he was more prone to heart attack. BTW, I have had infections in the past with fever of over 102 and I was able to pick up a telephone and make calls. I was even able to go to the drugstore and wait in line for antibiotics. I think you are too invested in finding a scandal where none may exist.

Also, Kerry said he heard the message on Saturday. That doesnt mean the call was left Saturday. You got to believe that someone like Kerry receives a lot of calls and that he doesnt always return them immediately. Dont run off to the media and be looked at as a conspiracy kook.

Yah there are a few of us willing to resist the impulse to look like a tinfoiler but we seem to be outnumbered on this thread. The call could have come late Friday or early Saturday. The timeline alone isn't enough to close this case but some folks got excited by the premise of this thread (which was erroneous) and now are playing at cyber-diagnostics to force the few facts we do know to fit the conclusion they want. Maybe Kerry did lie but I don't see enough to try to make the claim and I see way too much danger of being debunked as a crank if I did try.
