JFK’s Assassination Aided By Back Pain?
Research Shows, JFK’s Assassination Was Aided by His Bad Back

In the end it appears JFK’s spinal pain, medical mistakes, and ongoing disability nearly took his life several times and was most likely implicated in his assassination. He simply could not lie down out of the way of the bullets. He was strapped in a seated position, sweating in a full body brace in the hot Texas sun, on that fateful day.
