Iām linking this here because people who are spamming articles about āOMG Biden has Parkinsonās disease!!!1!11ā need to see this.
The New York Times did not do their homework. At all. Biden probably met with a Parkinsonās doctor because he was working on a bipartisan Parkinsonās research and treatment bill which he just signed into law.
Itās not a flashy, attention-grabbing bill. Heās been working on it quietly. But stillā¦ The rampant speculation, when heās absolutely not showing the slightest signs of beginning Parkinsonās - let alone the advanced stages that would start to affect his mind - is disgusting.
Parkinsonās causes extremely well-known symptoms, tremors most notably. Parkinsonās dementia sometimes arises in advanced stages, long after tremors would have been constantly visible.
The chances he has Parkinsonās are incredibly slim.
