Why Didn’t “Healthy, Robust” Biden Take A Cognitive Test During Medical Exam?

Questions are mounting as to why Joe Biden was not given a cognitive test during his medical examination yesterday.

Biden underwent a physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center yesterday, with Dr Kevin O’Connor asserting there were no new concerns about Biden’s health.

Mr Biden “is a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency,” wrote O’Connor in his report.

However, the exam did not include a cognitive test despite innumerable examples of Biden getting lost on stage, thinking he had talked to dead political leaders and falling prey to embarrassing verbal gaffes in recent months.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ludicrously said Dr O’Connor and Biden’s neurologist “don’t believe he needs” a cognitive exam, and added: “He passes a cognitive test every day, every day as he moves from one topic to another topic, understanding the granular level of these topics.”

Before the results were released, which contained no information whatsoever about Biden’s cognitive health, Dr. Marc Siegel said that the president’s mental acuity should have been the top priority.

“What I’m concerned about and what the American public is concerned about is what are they gonna say about his neurological exam,” said Dr. Siegel, drawing attention to Biden’s “stiffened gait”.

“To a lot of neurologists who I have talked to, it’s a shuffling gate that looks like it could come from some kind of neurological problem,” he added.

“What does the MRI of the brain show?” asked Siegel, adding that there have been “a lot of lapses going on that would want us to see an MRI of the brain.”

Siegel said that a lot of people who showed as much difficulty with walking as Biden would be using a cane.

“If he falls on his head on blood thinners, that’s an enormous problem, it’s not just an 81-year-old falling, it’s an 81-year-old falling on blood thinners,” noted the doctor.

As we previously highlighted, after Special counsel Robert Hur concluded in his report that Biden did not remember when he was vice-president or within “several years” when his son Beau died, Canadian neurologist Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, who invented the ‘gold standard’ of cognitive tests, told the New York Post that all ageing politicians should take it.

Democrats are panicking to replace Biden after he twice claimed to have recently spoken to political leaders who have been dead for decades.

The White House tried to dismiss the mistake as “normal,” but one ally told the Telegraph that his recent press conference performance was “the worst day” of Biden’s entire presidency.
