The world has become increasingly fascinated by President Joe Biden’s age and health, with some even turning to doctors for snapshot appraisals of the 81-year-old president's ‘freezing’ episodes.
Knewz.com has learned of one such opinion stemming from the inventor of the gold-standard cognitive test, Dr. Ziad Nasreddine.
Speaking to theDaily Mail, Dr. Nasreddine noted that slurred speech is a symptom of Parkinson's disease and is brought on by disrupted secretions of brain hormones responsible for movement.
The latter was broached in the context of Biden’s numerous erroneous speech and movement episodes—and sometimes the complete lack thereof.
The last such occurrence took place while on stage at a fundraiser in Los Angeles. After he completed his speech he stopped moving and seemed to stare in a manner that some describe as “blankly” over the crowd.
According to the Associated Press, the “pause” turned the “star-studded” event into a target for opponents.
This incident was preceded by another moment during the White House Juneteenth celebration. The video of Biden – which even made it onto TikTok – shows the president standing absolutely still, with a half smile on his face while his vice president, Kamala Harris, swayed and clapped to the gospel tunes of Kirk Franklin.
Los Angeles pro-Donald Trump supporter, Dr. Sheila Nazarian, was one of the medical professionals to weigh in on the sighting also hinting at Parkinson’s disease.
In a post to X, the plastic surgeon wrote:
“Frozen (masked faces, diminished arm swing, less frequent blinking, etc) likely due to a central neurological disorder like Parkinson's.”
“If this was just a normal, elderly person, I would not post about it. However, perceived weakness in our commander in chief is....

The shuffling walk is a sign.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE HAD PARKINSON’S?

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE HAD PARKINSON’S?
There’s A LOT of signs....ever heard of angry dementia?
That would explain why that nasty SOB is mean as a snake.

Yeah....let's do a side by side comparison, Doc.
My dad had Parkinson’s. (so does Michael J. Fox.) The main symptom dad had were shakes. The meds were effective in treating it, so I am assuming Bitedung would be on them as well.
In Parkinson’s dementia one sees reduced eye blink rates, from normal 16-18 blinks per minute to 1 or 2 blinks per minute. Reduced gaze, meaning less than normal range of eye movement scanning the environment, following moving people, and a blank look on the face (“masklike facies” ). Reduced body movement such as arm swing while walking. Freezing is a common Parkinsonism symptom. Gee, do you think Biden has any of these?
When I walk, my arms sway a bit at the sides and my fingers are a bit curled inward to the palm. Biden’s arms hardly move, arms/hands out front and fingers fully extended. Like he’s sleep walking or something. Something isn’t right.
A “gold standard” test, eh?
Has a familiar ring to it.

An earlier White House Juneteenth celebration shows Biden standing absolutely still, with a half smile on his face while Kamala Harris, and the rest of the attendees, swayed and clapped to gospel tunes.
A family member has stage 3/4 Parkinson’s and has never had the stereotypical shaking hands. Parkinson’s symptoms and progression is different for everyone.
Modern medicine can suppress the symptoms of Parkinson’s for a time but there is no cure. As a boy, I saw Parkinson’s gradually develop in a friend of my mother’s. First a stiff gait and lessening of facial expressions, then a slow, shuffling walk, and finally slurred speech, drooling, and a constant tremor in her left arm. Only years later did I realize the heroism and faith that it must have taken for the poor woman to make her way to church every week for Sunday Mass.
Lately, I’ve been seeing a blitz of articles mentioning Trump’s supposed cognitive issues. It sounds like pre-election propaganda to me. As in, You won’t vote for Biden because he’s a senile old child abusing communist? Well, look at Trump, he has cognitive issues!
The Democrat machine put Biden in despite his lack of qualification and mental issues. They don’t care, they just want the power.
Actually parkinsons would be better than dementia in terms of ability to perform the duties of president.
lol
lame attempts by the left to try to stick the old label on Trump also.
The media and the supporting political types find all sorts of “doctors” to say that biden is OK. Who are they kidding? No one. biden is the ultimate “elephant in the room”. Isn’t it unethical for a doctor to talk about a person’s “conditions” without personally having formally examined them? I guess in the current maladministration anything goes for these integrity-free losers.
It wasn't a pause.
obama knew what was going on and it showed when he turned back and led biden away by the hand.
