Hiding something because there is zero information on this. Why would they not say what is ailing her? "Rare pneumonia".

They had to lock down a reddit thread on her because it appears she's rather hated in the gymnastics community.

High dose Vitamin C cures pneumonia. Linus Pauling is the guy to research.
