Recently, Kamala Harris, the so-called Vice President, made an unusually public display of her health report. This occurred in the midst of a significantly quiet phase when it came to divulging any personal health specifics. A blatantly political move, this release was aimed more at deflecting attention from her own lack of public approval and pointing fingers at Donald Trump’s health status, despite the fact that he maintains an active lifestyle even in his advancing years.
Dr. Joshua Simmons, Harris’s personal physician, took it upon himself to assure the public of her ‘excellent health’ and asserted her ability to exercise the demanding responsibilities of the presidency. He conveniently included duties such as the Chief Executive, Head of State, and Commander in Chief. However, these declarations do little to reassure given her ongoing failure to effectively perform even her current responsibilities.
He also churned out a number of inconsequential health issues including seasonal allergies and hives (urticaria). Of course, this catalogue of over-the-counter medications was presented to supposedly illustrate her good health. The so-called ‘unremarkable’ results of her most recent physical examination conducted in April 2024 were also publicized.
Dr. Simmons pointed out in his medical report that Harris’s vitamin D levels were ‘in the insufficient range.’ Despite the unimportance of this deficiency, it was still brought up in an obvious attempt to create an image of transparency. Also mentioned was Harris’s family history with colon cancer; however, no other personal history of any medical conditions was shared.
Amusingly, a senior aide from Harris’s camp believes their unsuccessful attempt to use Trump’s health as a scapegoat wasn’t noticeable. Trump, nearing his eighties, had been bold in his decision not to disclose his health records in the 2016 campaign. Still, he remains active, suggesting that age is just a number.
Contrary to their relentless prodding for Trump’s medical documents, Harris’s camp had been significantly silent about their own candidate’s health. Even President Biden’s physician had issued memos after his routine physical check-ups, but Harris’s team made no such efforts for a sense of public transparency.
Only Harris’s annual check-up in 2021 was made public, and the White House wisely decided to keep mum on the actual results. Biden’s vice president was also reported to be positive for COVID-19 back in April 2022. The administration, however, did not hesitate in advertising how the virus was eliminated by the drug Paxlovid, pushing their pandemic agenda.
The fascinating thing about this new political gameplay by Harris and her cabal is the shifting narrative on age. Biden, the oldest President of America, received regular criticisms, and was tagged as ‘sleepy Joe’ by Trump who boldly pointed out his seemingly lacking vitality.
Now Harris, and her allies, who are significantly younger than Trump, have the audacity to attribute his advanced years as a potential disadvantage. An amusing tactic, considering the vibrant activity level of a man two decades her senior.
It seems that even the President’s own team is growing perturbed by the Vice President’s attempts to direct attention away from her immediate responsibilities. It would be too easy for the populace to get distracted by this political smoke and mirrors.
The American people deserve to know the truth, and that means seeing their leaders perform effectively in their official capacities, regardless of whatever minor health issues they may or may not have. Attempting to deflect criticism or shift focus away from one’s personal inadequacies usually backfires – and one can only hope that this circle of political theatrics is as transparent to the citizens as it is to those critically observing.
The lack of transparency about any aspect of a public figure’s life, including health, is not something that instills confidence in citizens. It often leads to mistrust and speculation. Vice President Kamala Harris’s attempt to utilize the topic of health as political weaponry might end up being harmful.
For the American people, political aptitude and demonstrated dedication to the task at hand come ahead of concealing or ridiculing unverified health concerns. These political shenanigans do not change the fact that leaders should be running a country with proficiency.
In conclusion, as the citizens of the United States, we seek leaders who focus on delivering their mandate effectively. Unnecessary focus on the pertinent health details of political opponents seems no more than an attempt to divert attention away from their inadequacies. After all, is it not actions, rather than words, that reflect true capability in governance?
