Concerns over President Biden’s health are escalating following reports of a neurological specialist visiting the White House multiple times during his administration. Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease specialist, made eight visits between July 2023 and March of this year. Despite White House efforts to downplay concerns, questions about Biden’s health persist.
Dr. Cannard, a neurology specialist supporting the White House Medical Unit, has over 30 years of experience and previously served in the U.S. Army. He was thrust into the spotlight recently, sparking speculation about Biden’s health. Reports of his donations to the Biden campaign and visits for annual physicals have only added to the scrutiny.
During press briefings, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions about Dr. Cannard’s visits and their relation to Biden’s health. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician, clarified that Dr. Cannard’s visits were part of routine examinations and not indicative of any underlying health issues.
Amid concerns over Biden’s cognitive abilities, the White House is adamant that he is not being treated for Parkinson’s disease and shows no signs of neurological disorders. The ongoing speculation highlights the challenges faced by the Biden administration regarding transparency and public trust.
