This week is the annual CPAC meeting or the biggest conference for Conservatives in America where top officials in the Trump administration, as well as Trump himself, are attending. Recently, one of the speakers made a shocking claim regarding the cause of the death of Princess Diana.

Reported by Politicalflare, CPAC speaker Dr. David Schneider, an orthopedic surgeon, claimed that what killed the late Royal was not the car crash, but rather socialized medicine. “Princess Diana was in a car accident in France, they actually don’t have any trauma specialists in France,” claimed Schneider. On the contrary, France does have trauma specialists, as they have the French Orthopedic Trauma Society, also known as SOFCOT. To add to that, all surgeons that are members of SOFCOT are all practicing trauma apart from their specialty. Socialized medicine, in general, contrary to Schneider’s claim, will ensure more trauma surgeons rather than less.

Schneider then went on to recall what happened during the car accident. “For the first hour after that accident, she was still in that tunnel. And after an hour, they took her to a nearby hospital and she was alive for another three hours and they couldn’t control the bleeding from her pulmonary artery There were no trauma trained people there.”

His claims appear to be more of issues with other aspects, as well as the fact that not even the best surgeon can control bleeding. However, Schneider then went on to boast that the late Princess may have lived if that accident happened in the United States. “I really believe, knowing what I know about her care, and comparing it to what Congressman Scalise said, Princess Diana would have lived had that accident happened here in America.”

In other related news, CNN reports that Trump assured the public once again on the increasingly dangerous coronavirus pandemic. The President attended the African-American History Month reception at the White House Cabinet Room and expressed his optimism that the virus will eventually be contained and kept under control, but not after the situation getting worse first.

Prior to his assurance, the World Health Organization, as well as experts from the CDC, have already warned that there is an increasing chance that an outbreak in the United States will happen. “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear…” said Trump.
