Clinton Ally Calls Pneumonia Controversy A “Self Inflicted F****** Nightmare”
Young Conservatives ^ | September 12, 2016 | Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 09/13/2016 5:15:29 AM PDT by xzins

Hillary Clinton proved once again this weekend that she just can’t tell the truth.

Even about the simplest things.

She almost collapsed on the sidewalk in New York City and her team assured us she was just a little overheated.

Turns out, she was diagnosed with pneumonia two days before.

It also looks like her team didn’t take her to the emergency room in order to keep the medical details under wraps.

Even allies of the Clinton campaign are stunned at the level of secrecy about her health.

Here is the great Matt Vespa with more.

From Townhall:

Once again the Clinton provided another reason for voters to remain skeptical about her honesty and trustworthiness. For the Clinton camp, this aura of secrecy once again bit them in the butt. One ally called this episode a “self-inflicted f**king nightmare” (viaThe Hill):

A lack of transparency about her health has turned what might have been a non-issue into a hugely problematic storyline for Hillary Clinton that could plague the Democratic presidential nominee into November, say allies and confidants.One ally described the string of events that culminated in Clinton leaving a Sept. 11 memorial early as a “self-inflicted f—ing nightmare.”

Clinton’s campaign sought to deal with the fallout on Monday of damaging video that showed Clinton’s knees buckling and Secret Service agents helping her into a van. The campaign later revealed that the Democratic nominee was suffering from pneumonia.

[…]

A second ally said Clinton and her team probably wanted to withhold that she’d been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday so that conservatives who have been raising questions about her health wouldn’t have ammunition.

Yet in withholding the information and allowing Clinton to go forward with an event that she was not able to handle, they made the situation worse.

Not ideal…

But, that’s what you get.

She could have easily told the media on Friday that she had pneumonia and rested a few days.

Instead, she lied. And got caught.

What else is new?

“She has a doppelganger. Hillary did not gingerly walk out of Chelsea’s apartment/medical facility; it was her look alike.”

I was sure of that as soon as I saw her.

I think that’s the reason for the prevalence of her sunglasses lately.

Pure fraud all the time. They know enough Americans bought Hussein’s story, every last word of it....

I just hope it doesn’t happen before the election because I want her to lose.

It depends on how close to the election it [death or total incapacitation] happens. There is a time frame where if it happens, there won't be enough time to politically recover and no amount of vote fraud will be able to compensate for the votes she will lose.

I had pneumonia at 66 and missed one day of work

I had pneumonia at 56. Bacteriological. I was in Las Vegas when it hit. Day 2, I was barely able to walk through the airport to fly home. This was after my ER visit on Day 1 and receiving antibiotics for "bronchitis". Then it spread into my blood and caused all sorts of bad things.

I looked into my mirror (at the hospital) after Day 4 and I looked like the dog's breakfast.

This was NOT "just pneumonia" IMHO....

I am 61 and recently contracted pneumonia from walking around the dank pestiferous stinkpot known as San Francisco. Was in hospital 4 days and it took another 2 weeks of home rest before I felt even close to good enough to resume light exercise.

Dunno’ Was it?

She went to Chelsea’s a wreak and came out all peppy, and such... Pneumonia? Water and Gatorade didn’t make that happen either?

I agree. I had pneumonia at 50, and it absolutely knocked me out for a month. My husband put me on house arrest because I was so sick.

Do we even know that a doctor diagnosed her and is on record as having done so? I think it is just her campaign saying that she was diagnosed with pneumonia, and we all know just how much veracity and honesty count in her camp.

Amen Brother!

There is absolutely no reason to believe the pneumonia story.
All the previous pictures and health issues tie into this one.

All the previous lies means this simply shouldn’t be trusted either.

She is a congenital liar. Illiarily Clinton.

"That appearance 90 minutes later outside the apartment building...saying she felt great? Real people with Pneumonia wouldn’t be able to do that."

Hospital admission recommend for patients over 65 with community acquired pneumonia:

Hospital admission for adults >65 and other factors:

Multiple scoring systems are available to assess the severity of CAP and to assist in deciding whether a patient should be hospitalized or admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The CURB-65 (confusion, uremia, respiratory rate, low blood pressure, age >65 years) and the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) are currently recommended by the 2007 Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society Consensus Guidelines.[7]

Patients with CURB-65 scores of 2 or more or PSI class IV-V may necessitate hospitalization or more intensive in-home services. ICU is recommended for any patient who requires mechanical ventilation or vasopressors. ICU admission should also be considered in patients with 3 or more minor risk factors, including respiratory rate of 30 or more, PaO2/FiO2<250, multilobar infiltrates, confusion, uremia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypothermia, and hypotension requiring aggressive fluid resuscitation.

Proving Hillary lies are lies could be a full time occupation.

Heck...it could be a new cabinet level department.

This is very similar to what the Mayo Clinic says about pneumonia treatment:
You may need to be hospitalized if:

You are older than age 65
You are confused about time, people or places
Your kidney function has declined
Your systolic blood pressure is below 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or your diastolic blood pressure is 60 mm Hg or above
Your breathing is rapid (30 breaths or more a minute)
You need breathing assistance
Your temperature is below normal
Your heart rate is below 50 or above 100

Isn’t it also relevant that there probably was a baby in Chelsea’s apartment? Pneumonia is very contagious and can easily kill a baby.

ANSWER: She doesn’t have pneumonia and if she doesn’t and that doctor did say she did (in writing) then she should have her license yanked.

He’s a tough son of a gun.

I was down (out of commission or resting) a month 20 years ago and have always sworn since I’d rather be dead than go through it again.

Pneumonia is an acute diagnosis that doesn’t cover the chronic problems. Alinsky rules for radicals playbook
