WASHINGTON, July 8 Neurologist and Parkinson's disease expert Dr. Kevin Cannard visited the White House eight times in eight months amid suspicions about the health of US President Joe Biden, the correspondent calculated, based on public information about visitors to the White House.
On Saturday, the White House refused to link Cannard's visit to Biden's health. The administration insists the president has been examined by a neurologist three times over the past three years.
Cannard is considered a specialist in the field of neurology with more than twenty years of experience, and on his social networks he indicates that he has been collaborating with the White House Medical Department for more than 12 years. Cannard's first recorded visit to the White House was July 2023, and his last was March 28, 2024. Most visits fall on Friday or Thursday. Data on visits later than March have not yet been published.
Biden's disastrous debate with Donald Trump has brought the current US president's health into the spotlight, despite White House assurances that Biden does not suffer from degenerative diseases, dementia, Alzheimer's disease or the like. At the same time, the New York Times, citing sources close to the head of state, reported that the deterioration of the US president's condition began to appear more often in recent months, when the president appeared to sources as «confused, lethargic or losing the thread of conversations.»
