It definitely doesn't help her image. However thr silver lining may be with her sidelined for health reasons that we may see more peoplelike Biden and Michelle going forward. Regardless of this health issue I still believe this ultimately come down to the debates. If Hillary can hold serve or force a mistake from Trump that gets him in trouble then she should be fine. | ||

No, I think only you and other infowars readers can. Pneumonia is not a worsening health condition, and it is not something serious. But it doesn't matter because you're one of the people trump mentioned when he said his supporters would still support him even if he went and murdered someone in broad daylight in front of everyone. | ||

EDIT: If she's on antibiotics she very likely isn't contagious. | ||

Even if doesn't end up being fatal or causing permanent harm it is not a trivial disease like the common cold. I've had plenty of relatives contract pneumonia and to put it lightly it is never a pleasant experience. | ||

Pneumonia isn't something that disqualifies one from office, it's something you rest until you've recovered while taking antibiotics. Then when you get it during campaign trails and 911 memorial which she obviously couldn't stay home from because that would maybe look even worse than her fainting like this, that is a case of shitty timing, but it doesn't mean anything. I get when you're arguing that Trump should engage her with full robert stone conspiracy mode, I can accept that being strategically wise, but I don't get why you are suddenly trying to argue with a straight face in this thread that getting pneumonia (and I think that's a very legit-sounding reason for fainting myself) disqualifies someone from being president. I had pneumonia last year myself. I was really sick and coughing like crazy and I stayed home from work for a week, but once it was over it was over. Of course I'm a 32 year old man so my recovery is swifter and easier, but it's just.. This isn't a relevant line of attack, especially not for a person whose VP you and pretty much everyone else would prefer. | ||

An otherwise healthy person takes antibiotics (if it's bacterial) and gets bed rest. Influenza is quite a serious disease as well, but since we live in a 1st world country, we can deal with it. | ||

Either she takes a day off and empowers the conspirtards or she tries to power through it. Kind of a Hobson's Choice there. | ||

Another medical condition here includes old age. Heck, even for young people it can be lethal depending on the pathogen. Pneumonia is by it's incidence relatively trivial, but it is NOT a trivial disease. | ||

I'm not being conspiratorial at all. I am just stating the facts and highlighting the obvious questions to be asked because I understand the medical issues. And I haven't said once that Hillary's health problems are disqualifying. In fact, I have repeatedly said "I don't know" on that point. But I find it hilarious that the Hillary defense force takes my points so seriously (and so out of context), so I am kinda inclined to keep poking the bear. | ||

Pneumonia is by it's incidence relatively trivial, but it is NOT a trivial disease. No, it doesn't. Old age is an easy but not always accurate correlation with things like heart disease, COPD, diabetes, etc. The reason pneumonia is worse for old people is because old people are almost always already ill. As a medical professional that works in an emergency room, I can tell you that a diagnosis of primary pneumonia isn't incredibly concerning. Treatment, bed rest, keeping an eye out and it should resolve in a week. | ||
