WASHINGTON D.C.- The White House said in a message that President Donald Trump successfully completed a scheduled follow-up health evaluation at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday. The evaluation, which includes sophisticated diagnostics and a new COVID-19 booster shot, found that the President is in “exceptional health.”
The President’s doctor told White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the checkup. The official message said, “President Donald J. Trump successfully completed a scheduled follow-up evaluation today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The visit was part of his continuous health maintenance plan and includes advanced imaging, laboratory tests, and preventative health evaluations conducted by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.”
Great health metrics and getting ready for travel
The statement went on to say that the full exams were planned with “leading academic and medical consultants to ensure optimal cardiovascular health and continued wellness.” Comprehensive laboratory investigations were characterized as “exceptional,” encompassing “stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.”
One of the most interesting parts of the report was a test of the President’s heart health. The doctor said that Trump’s “cardiac age,” which is a proven way to determine heart health using an ECG, was about 14 years younger than his actual age. The President is also stated to “continue to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction,” which is vital as he makes plans for potential trips abroad, including a possible trip to Egypt to talk about the situation between Israel and Gaza.
The President got his yearly flu shot and an updated COVID-19 booster shot as part of his routine health exams and vaccinations.
Online Backlash Over Booster Shot
When people found out that President Trump had gotten the COVID-19 booster shot, they promptly criticized him and started a big reaction on social media site X. Critics said that the President’s choice went against what he and his supporters had said before about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
Someone on X said, “Trump getting his Covid booster after brainwashing millions of Americans into being afraid of vaccines.” Someone else asked, “Does Trump really not think the covid vaccine is poison?” Do the people who support him realize this?
Some of his most loyal fans were the most vocal in their opposition to his decision to get the vaccine. One person shouted, “I DO NOT WANT PRESIDENT TRUMP TO TAKE THE COVID JAB!” “Why does President Trump like poison? (Covid-19 injection?)” asked one person, while another said, “The country NEEDS him.” Where is RFK Jr.?
As national health advice changes, this controversy is happening. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officially adopted Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine experts’ recommendations in October. One of the new rules was to stop telling everyone over 65 to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Axios said that this new policy showed that the government didn’t trust the vaccinations’ safety and effectiveness.
