With no bones struck and the spinal cord intact, the president almost certainly would have survived the wound from the first bullet. Bunk. The President's arm drawn up with the elbows to the side is neurologic reflex to a devastating spinal cord injury. It was described in the medical literature about 100 years ago. Survive? Perhaps. Recover? No. He would have been quadriplegic. The cord injury resulted form the compression wave as the bullet passed within inches of the spinal cord.
most experts agree with the Warren Commission that Oswald's first bullet passed cleanly through Kennedy's lower neck Bunk. Neither remark is true. The Warren Commission doesn't conclude what happened to the first bullet, and most experts certainly don't agree the first bullet hit Kennedy. For us nonconspiracy people, the second and third shots hit Kennedy.

True. But if the first shot missed, why then did it hit the curb way down by the underpass, no where near in a line with JFK's limo at that point?

Which leaves the first aimed shot hitting the curb, the second hitting JFK in the back, climbing to exit at the throat, then magically plunging to hit the Governor.
This leaves the hurried third shot to disintegrate in JFK's brain, a very dubious [& unduplicated] feat for the rifle and any marksman to date.
The magic bullet shoots down the non-conspiracy peoples theories every time the point is argued.
