episode of Dan Rather's "The Big Interview" in 2016:

He seemed pretty normal to me, even self-deprecating, during the interview.

He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a heart condition, in 2003 after collapsing on stage (it happened more than once after that):

He never appeared to be physically fit or truly healthy even when he lost weight. I think he'd be a fool not to be vaccinated if he didn't have a medical condition contraindicating it.
