WATCH: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spars with reporters while answering questions about President Biden’s health.
“Has the president been treated for Parkinson’s? No. Is he being treated for Parkinson’s? No.”
President Joe Biden is not being treated for Parkinson’s disease, the White House announced on Monday, after the New York Times reported that a doctor specialized in the illness visited the White House at least 8 times between August and March.
Concerns that the president is suffering from an undisclosed illness have grown since Biden faltered, seeming frail and losing his line of thought at times, during his June 27 debate with Republican Donald Trump.
“Has the president been treated for Parkinson’s? No. Is he being treated for Parkinson’s? No, he’s not. Is he taking medication for Parkinson’s? No.”
– Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, gave a briefing.
Some Democrats argue that Biden lacks the mental acuity to be their contender against Trump in the November 5 presidential election.
According to a Reuters analysis of White House visitor logs, Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist and movement disorders specialist from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, paid the White House 8 visits between August and March.
Cannard has co-authored research on early Parkinson’s disease treatment at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
The logs show that Cannard met with White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor at the White House in mid-January.
The New York Post first revealed Cannard’s travels to the White House on July 6.
One former White House official, who served for Biden as vice president under President Barack Obama then as president, told Reuters that the same doctor treated him for migraines in 2016.
The doctor visited the White House once a month as part of his rotation, according to the individual.
.
Jean-Pierre declined to confirm or elaborate on Cannard’s visits.
During the media briefing, she was often questioned by reporters and stated that she wished to respect the privacy of everyone concerned for security concerns.
She stated Biden had seen a neurologist 3 times for his annual medical exam.
She would not explain Cannard’s presence in the White House, but suggested it could be related to treating some of the military troops who work at the White House complex.
“There are thousands of military personnel that come to the White House and they are under the care of the medical unit.”
