Doctor Says Hillary Clinton Has Pneumonia After NYC Incident

Hillary Clinton has pneumonia, the Democratic presidential nominee's doctor said on Sunday afternoon, after Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 memorial ceremony in downtown Manhattan because, her campaign said, she felt "overheated" and went to recuperate at her daughter Chelsea's luxury apartment.
"Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies," Lisa R. Bardack, Clinton's physician, said in her statement. "On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely."
Video soon surfaced showing Clinton as she leaves the 9/11 event. As she waited for a van Clinton leaned against a post, then appears to buckle at the knees and stumble as Secret Service agents hold her up.

Clinton's health has been an obsession of right-wing conspiracy theorists but Sunday's events have now raised her health to the level of "legitimate campaign issue."

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
