Madonna hospitalized, cancels tour – but why?
Iconic pop star Madonna, 64, was hospitalized Saturday and has had to cancel a tour. But the reason for her illness is now in dispute.
Madonna, the iconic pop star of the Eighties who still draws crowds at the age of 64, has spent three days in a hospital in New York, her agents revealed for the first time today. But two vastly different accounts now exist as to what, exactly, landed her in the hospital.
Madonna falls ill
Reports are available from One America News, NBC, CBS, People, and Parade, along with several tweets. All accounts agree that someone found her unresponsive, apparently at a private residence. Whoever found her summoned an ambulance to take her to a hospital in New York. There she required endotracheal intubation and ventilatory support for twenty-four hours. She no longer needs the tube, but has spent the last several days in Intensive Care. So serious was her ailment that her managers had to cancel a planned tour and “pause all commitments.”
Guy Oseary, her manager, left this post on Instagram describing her condition.
“Her health is improving; however she is still under medical care,” he said. “A full recovery is expected.”
People quoted a source saying she was discharged from Intensive Care. She is allegedly in “a regular ward,” but that could mean Intermediate Care or a private room. (Stars like Madonna do not convalesce in multi-patient wards or even semi-private rooms.)
That’s where the confusion sets in. Oseary said she was suffering from “a serious bacterial infection.” All the conventional accounte repeat that statement. OAN hesitated to characterize her infection at all, or to speculate on how long she would remain in hospital.
The various tweets (except for Oseary’s) announcing her condition tell a radically different story. They say she is suffering from complications of the COVID vaccine.
Tales of advocacy – and suspected complications
The account “DiedSuddenly” noted that she has financially supported COVID vaccine research, and advocated for making the vaccine mandatory. That account then accused Google of changing its search-engine algorithm to make Madonna appear to have advocated against the vaccine.
Reports that Madonna was suffering from a bacterial infection drew open scorn.
