“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.

I had bronchial pneumonia a number of years ago. I have never been sicker in my life. She has something else along with, maybe bronchitis!
According to People magazine Clinton staffers have been coming down with this pneumonia for weeks. During that time Hillary has been having massive coughing fits yet nobody thought to check and see if she had said pneumonia until Thursday? And then she goes to fundraisers and a 9-ll ceremony? And after she collapses due to said pneumonia, just a few hours later she “feels great”? And despite having said contagious pneumonia she embraces a child she staged a photo op with? And she never bothers to go to the hospital? This is such BS.
Her MD said she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.
The fact that Hillary contracted Pneumonia is indicative that her immune system has been compromised. It goes to what is really wrong with Hillary’s health.
MSN is involved in DISINFORMATION
“Young and healthy people develop walking pneumonia.”
And if Clinton was young and healthy it woudln’t be an issue. She’s old and decrepit so even if she actually has pneumonia - and i’m not buying it - it is still a very serious medical issue. It was what finally took my 85 year old father when he was hospitalized for a stroke, as it led to congestive heart failure. And I’ve seen people much younger than that succumb to pneumonia.
“Excellent, she should be healthy fodder for the debates then.”
She’ll probably want to phone it in. (sarc)
It might well be aspirational pneumonia, a condition common to Parkinson’s sufferers.
"`tis but a scratch!" Sir Hillary
They just eat the whole story hook line and sinker. CNN is out saying the clip was selectively edited. In fact all the clips of her coughing, her seizures, her fainting, her stumbling are just selective edits. “Hillary says she has pneumonia so that’s the end of it.”
Of course. The media is already, one day later, out in full force to spread the lie that this is nothing, and that it won’t prevent her from being president.
That will be repeated endlessly for the next few weeks. Even if she “faints” from the heat again. Or coughs. Or stumbles.
Pneumonia? I ain’t buying it... and nobody other than Clinton zombies are buying it. When you lie so much, you get tangled in your web of lies. This is just another example.
She may very well have pneumonia and it is likely caused by the same thing that causes her frequent coughing fits... aspirating her own saliva and whatever fluids she has in her mouth. People with neurologic diseases such as Parkinson’s often get and die from pneumonia from aspirating. She also likely has Congestive Heart Failure, which like pneumonia is characterized by fluid in the lungs, but unlike pneumonia is also characterized by swollen feet, ankles and legs. When you are old and sick you can have all these things at the same time.
They pretended because most people have become overheated, so no big deal. But most people have not had brain damage and the other problems Hillary has.
Let’s see the X-rays that they obviously had to take in order to correctly diagnose pneumonia.
The Mediascum LIES as usual. Even if it is pneumonia, it is not a mild or average situation.... Hillary COLLAPSED completely, it took two people to lift her and shove her into the van, like a sack of potatoes.
She is not mildly ill, she is gravely ill. Even if they can prop her up for a while longer, we are not being given full and honest information.
“she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday”
What a coinkydink! That Friday evening she shot off her mouth to a coven of gay, lesbian, bi, trans pervs that the half the country that doesn’t support her is a “basket of deplorables”.
So the lie is a two-fer: she changes the subject from her bigotry AND her unfortunate propensity to tip over in public.
Timberrrrrrrr!
Oh, I think she has pneumonia all right, but she also has something else, like Parkinson’s that caused the pneumonia.
