There’s nothing inconsistent with the statements. Secretary Clinton has long been open about having seasonal allergies (along with something like half of the adults in the United States, judging by how well drugs like Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra sell), and it’s entirely possible for untreated or inadequately treated allergies to lead to pneumonia, especially when combined with a rhinovirus or other mild cold.
And, to counter the inevitable nonsense argument that will be raised, if she said on Friday that her cough was due to allergies, that is not a lie even if she did know at that time that she had pneumonia. A cough due to pneumonia secondary to seasonal allergies is a cough caused by allergies. It’s not a lie to say something that is true.
This is a nonsense issue, being raised by people who want to make a nonissue into an issue simply because Clinton didn’t answer a question with the precise exacting detail that someone who is not going to vote for her no matter how she answers is demanding that she give.
