Could be, but as you said it is inappropriate for anyone to make a diagnosis without truly knowing.
There are a lot of things that can lead to Biden's current condition. He had a bleeding aneurysm at the base of his brain repaired in 1988, and then another aneurysm treated surgically later that year. That doesn't mean anyone post-aneurysm repair or intra-cerebral hemorrhage is going to develop gait or cognition abnormalities, but just like Muhammad Ali developed a Parkinson's like movement disorder after absorbing the blows he did in boxing, every brain injury carries the possibility of encephalomalacia, gliosis, and other changes that could affect some aspects of brain function.
I don't think he has classic Alzheimer's, but whatever it is he is no longer medically qualified to be in public office.
Very good post...thank you. I forgot about Ali’s condition and I remember Biden’s problems that required surgery years ago. What you say makes sense...and I certainly agree with your closing sentence..
“”but whatever it is he is no longer medically qualified to be in public office.””
I don’t think that’s been as clear as it is right now. Seeing Biden with Jill at the close of the debate was painful. She is clueless or thinks she’s putting on a good show praising him the way she did - “you answered every question” - like he was a first grader. She was showing the world she knows the problem but is not about to confront it.
