    In a brief statement issued to the press March 29, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni stated that “The Holy Father has been at Gemelli since this afternoon for some previously scheduled checkups.”

    The Pontiff had conducted his regular general audience in the morning, being visibly less physically able than he had appeared in recent days.

    Following this, however, Italian news outlets began reporting that the Pope’s scheduled meetings for the next few days had been cancelled, citing a Vatican source. 

    After the audience, he reportedly had to cancel a scheduled interview and be transported to the nearby Gemelli hospital in an ambulance. According to the news reports, which cited sources in the hospital, Francis was suffering from “heart problems” along with breathing issues when he arrived. 

    His condition is currently deemed as “not worrisome” according to Corriere della Sera.

    Pope Francis’ blessing of the “vaccination” drive was heavily reported at the time, as in this AP article from NPR (two sturdy organs of official propaganda):

    In A Message To Americans, Pope Francis Says Getting Vaccinated Is ‘An Act Of Love’

    August 18, 2021

    VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis is adding his voice to a campaign to overcome vaccine skepticism, issuing a public service announcement insisting that vaccines are safe, effective and an “act of love” [sic].

    The video message released Wednesday is aimed at a global audience but directed particularly at the Americas. It features six cardinals and archbishops from North, Central and South America as well as the Argentine-born pope. It was produced by the Vatican and the Ad Council, which has produced a series of pro-vaccine ads in a bid to get more people vaccinated.

Fortunately, the player was later released from the hospital and is recovering.
