Trump received Covid vaccine and flu shot during second physical of the year

Source: CNN

President Donald Trump received a Covid vaccine and flu shot during his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday, his physician said in a memo released by the White House.

“In preparation for upcoming international travel, President Trump also received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual influenza and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations,” the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, wrote.

The president’s own CDC has shifted away from a broad recommendation for Covid-19 immunization; people who want one must now consult with a health care provider, a process known as shared clinical decision-making. However, a prescription is not necessarily needed.

The president’s physician also noted, without providing evidence, that the president’s “cardiac age” is 14 years younger than his current age, 79.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has done that all the time.

He did not, however, receive an enema...as doing so would have caused his head to cave in.

I think that character flaw pisses me off more than anything else. Of course, 99.9% of MAGA are 100% hypocrites. At least that is what my dear, ol' dad taught me. Dad was right!

15. ...... The report says Trump's test results are "stable," but Reiner said that's different from saying they are normal.

I'd like to why Trump is taking aspirin??

................ The report says Trump’s test results are “stable,” but Reiner said that’s different from saying they are normal. “I can say that someone’s blood pressure is stable. All that means is the blood pressure hasn’t changed.”

The AI-derived tool to calculate heart age “is not a clinically used tool,” Reiner said. “Maybe it’s an emerging tool. But what they don’t tell us are the things that he did have, which are clinical tools.”

“It is more meaningful right now to understand basic testing to try to understand the president’s cardiovascular health,” he said. “What is his ejection fraction? Does his heart contract normally? What is his blood pressure? What is his cholesterol? Is there any evidence of a heart attack? Does he have atrial fibrillation? Explain to us why he has these severe bruises on his hands, which typically are caused by blood thinners. Does he take a blood thinner? These are all, clinically, very meaningful questions, much more meaningful than some AI-derived heart age.”

Trump is one of the oldest presidents in US history and has faced scrutiny over regular bruising on his right hand that he’s appeared at times to cover up with heavy makeup. The White House physician has cited “frequent handshaking” and aspirin use as the cause.
