Biden’s Doctor Says He Did Not See a Neurologist

(RightWing.org) – The uproar over President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance in the first presidential debate shows no signs of dying down. Now people are asking questions about why a specialist in Parkinson’s disease has made at least 10 visits to the White House. The president’s personal physician insists there’s nothing to see here.

Dr Kevin Cannard is a neurologist at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. He’s a specialist in early-stage Parkinson’s Disease — and since November 2022 he’s visited the White House at least 10 times. Eight of those visits were in the last eight months. That’s sparked speculation that President Biden is suffering from the neurodegenerative disease, which causes symptoms including slow movement, balance difficulties, and vulnerability to falls.

On July 8, White House physician Kevin O’Connor released a letter claiming that Biden hasn’t seen Cannard except for his routine annual medical exams. The president’s last one was in February (Cannard visited the White House a few weeks before it), and O’Connor’s report said Biden doesn’t have Parkinson’s — but not everyone is convinced.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fueled the rumors on Monday when she claimed a meeting between Cannard and O’Connor on January 17 wasn’t related to Biden. Hours later she had to backtrack and admit that yes, the neurologist was there to examine the president.

Now O’Connor is hinting that Cannard has been visiting the White House to treat some of the thousands of military personnel who work there. Walter Reed does provide support to the White House Medical Unit, but Jean-Pierre’s admission that Cannard has been examining Biden will make sure the speculation about the president’s declining health won’t fade away anytime soon.

So far, Biden insists he’s still fit to do the job, but senior members of his own party are starting to openly challenge him. He can still hang on to the Democrat nomination because nobody wants to force him out and get stuck with the even more unpopular Kamala Harris instead, but Biden’s ego and ambition are now becoming a real liability.
