Former President Bill Clinton hospitalized with non-Covid infection
NBC News ^ | By Dartunorro Clark and Monica Alba

Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in Southern California on Tuesday evening, a spokesperson said Thursday.

Angel Urena, the spokesperson, said the illness is a non-Covid related infection.

"On Tuesday evening, President Clinton was admitted to UCI Medical Center to receive treatment," he said in a statement. "He is on the mend, in good spirits, and is incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses, and staff providing him with excellent care."

Clinton's doctors also released a statement.

"He was admitted to the hospital for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids. He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring. After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well," Drs. Alpesh Amin and Lisa Bardack said in the statement. "The California-based medical team has been in constant communication with the President's New York-based medical team, including his cardiologist. We hope to have him go home soon."

A source close to Clinton said Thursday that he is in intensive care "as a precautionary measure." The hospital needed to isolate him and not because his care required it, the source said. The original infection was diagnosed as urologic, but then it morphed into a broader one, the source said. In 2004, Clinton underwent a quadruple bypass operation at New York-Presbyterian Hospital to reroute his blood supply to circumvent four severely clogged arteries, The New York Times reported at the time. Clinton had complained of chest pains and shortness of breath. A team of surgeons then found extensive signs of heart disease, with blockages in some of Clinton's arteries at well over 90 percent, the newspaper reported.

Clinton returned to New York-Presbyterian Hospital in 2010 to undergo another heart procedure, this time to insert two stents into a coronary artery.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were scheduled to attend a private Clinton Foundation event in California Thursday evening.

Hillary Clinton went to the event to represent them both, according to a person close to Clintons, and then she went to be with her husband in Irvine, which is in Orange County.

I didn't see posted. Unfortunately only the lefty "news" was interested, so that's the source. Personally, I hope he is in a LOT of pain, and it is much worse than they are portraying it. He deserves no less, and I hope he is headed to see the devil very soon.

Boy, they are really trying hard to state that it's not Covid related aren't they?

Makes one suspicious, given the track record of the lying press.

Syphillis?

My first thought also. Whatever it is, it most certainly involves oozing blisters.

He’s got the HAGS.
—HAGS? What the heck is that?
Herpes, AIDS, Gonhorhea and Syphillis.
—Oh, God, that’s awful. What are they doing for him?
Special diet. Nothing but lavash bread, flounder, fruit rollups, and pizza.
—Holy crap. Is it helping?
No, but it’s the only thing they can slide under the door.

Yeah. I can’t believe that this finally showed up here. Equally surprised that it hasn’t been posted 14 times!

Gotta keep the ol’ “vaccines are 100% effective” Narrative going ...

BTW if people who have had multiple vaccine shots are now immune ... why do they still have to wear masks?

IF the vaccines are so effective?

Well, as far as I'm concerned, since he is in ICU, it gives me something to hopefully look forward to. And YES, I would disconnect his life support to charge my phone.

You are correct - Dancing in the streets may be more appropriate.

He has something else, but tested positive for CoVid, would be my guess.
