White House Issues Medical Report Pronouncing VP Kamala Harris Healthy
Last month the White House released a thorough health report on Vice President Kamala Harris, touting her “in excellent overall health” both physically and mentally. Her physician, Dr. Joshua R. Simmons, outlined the vice president’s physical and mental health that allows her to serve as President in a report released to reporters Wednesday — contrasting Harris’ openness about her personal health status with former President Donald Trump who provided minimal medical information while in office.
In closing, VP Kamala Harris Is Qualified
WASHINGTON – The report, sent on Saturday night by the White House doctor at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after a checkup last week,[confirmed Vice President Joe Biden], 59 is in ´excellent health´ and has the physical and mental strength needed to perform Presidential duties. Dr. Simmons, who is a U.S. Army doctor elaborates on this: “She has the mental and physical stamina to serve as Chief Executive, Head of State, Commander in Chief!
Executive Summary: Living actively and preventing disease
Harris’ most recent physical was in April 2024 and he reported no significant health issues with fully normal results from those tests. The report highlights:
Active Lifestyle: Although she has a packed schedule, Harris manages to maintain her health through an active regime.
Balanced and Nutritious Diet
Social Drinker: Harris is also a Social drinker as she occasionally drinks.
Non-Smoker: She does not smoke.
Allergies and Other Conditions
The Vice President has a medical history of seasonal allergies and urticaria (hives); She controls these diseases with Allegra and has been on allergen immunotherapy for 3 years. Simmons, who also noted that Harris is near-sighted and wears prescription contact lenses.
Preventive Care By Family History
According to the report, all screening tests were current and there has never been a change in her well-being (she will have colonoscopy annually; mammogram every 6 months). This will be of crucial significance in light of the colon cancer that runs in her family lineage —her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, died from it back 2009. The Vice President is engaged in her health and routinely, with recommended screenings.
A Savvy Playbook Step on Health Transparency
Harris advisers had also urged the campaign to release her medical history as a point of contrast with Trump, who is 78 years old and has given less health information than past presidential contenders. The former President previously has come under fire for not disclosing information about his health, particularly after he was shot and grazed in the head at a 2024 campaign rally. Descriptions of his medical records from past years have been similarly glowing in broad brushstroke terms; more detailed specifics were wanting.
Trump’s Medical Record Still a Worry
Unlike Harris, however, Trump’s health history has been one characterized by relative lack of disclosure. The following month, Rohrabacher posted a short note from his doctor in November 2023 saying he was “in excellent health overall. But his campaign has not released any real medical records, raising questions about whether he is physically capable for another term.
In Closing: Health Should Be A Central Election Issue
The process follows a similar release by the Democrats of Kamala Harris medical report as some way to campaign onto both sides about age and health issues in their subsequent election. Not only does the Vice President’s level of detail illustrate her preparedness leadership, but healthy transparency. For continuous updates and information visit shaktiexpress com.
