Reagan took doctor's orders. Trump should, too
 by Mark Weinberg   | March 30, 2020

Thirty-nine years ago today, the nation was gripped by a life or death health crisis. Ronald Reagan had been shot and seriously wounded, and the country waited anxiously to see if our 70-year-old president would survive surgery to remove an explosive bullet that had lodged a mere inch from his heart. Thanks to the incredible skill of surgeons at the George Washington University Hospital, to which Reagan had been rushed because of an alert Secret Service agent who saw the president coughing up frothy red blood, he made it. But not exactly with flying colors.

The nation was not told so at the time, but Reagan developed a post-operative infection, which nearly killed him. Senior White House aides kept that information from the public for fear that the stock market would tumble and/or the Soviets would somehow take advantage. Reagan eventually fully recovered, though wife Nancy Reagan would later tell people, “Ronnie almost died.”

Not only did he live, but he went on to be the most successful and popular president in modern history. As we look back on that dark day 39 years ago, there are two important lessons from the Reagan presidency that would serve us well to remember as we face another life or death health crisis — this time for the entire country.

I'm sure the President will do that, next time he gets shot by some fool stalking a movie star.

The constant suggestion by the news media is Trump isn't listening to the 'experts'. But he has been right about this pandemic far far more often than has the media, as evidenced by what they repeatedly suggest by implication.

So, who is and who isn't listening to the experts?

I think people are watching and making their own assessments about that.  It's why Trump has better-than-usual approval numbers, despite the Media Bigotry reflected in their reportage.

What evidence does Weinberg have that Trump is not?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

He's not aping the author's leftist world-view.
