In an unsettling event transpiring earlier this year, disciplinary action was taken against a U.S. Navy sailor who had determinedly made an attempt to pry into President Biden’s confidential medical documentation. The audacious move was launched on February 23, as verified by Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, a representative for the Navy. The sailor, whose particulars weren’t disclosed, had been placed at the Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command in Fort Belvoir, Northern Virginia, at that time.
It’s noteworthy that the sailor in question typed ‘Joseph Biden’ into the military’s health system electronic archive on three separate occasions within the span of a few hours, a blunder he ascribed to ‘curiosity.’ Reportedly, due to his intrusive actions, the sailor has faced the consequences, an event picked up by major news networks such as CBS News and ABC News.
Unfortunately, this incident came at an unsettling period for Biden, the 81-year-old president who has been incessantly challenged with doubts pertaining to his health and mental sharpness. Notably, these uncertainties intensified after his underwhelming performance during a debate on June 27, triggering a wave among the Democrat circle imploring him to step down from his re-election campaign. This only serves to tarnish the already beleaguered presidency.
Relating to the Navy incident, one of the sailor’s colleagues rightly reported this potential breach of healthcare privacy to the authorities. A thorough investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service was then conducted. The investigation reached its conclusion on April 24, as noted by Commander Hawkins.
On a reassuring, albeit perhaps misleading note, according to Cmdr. Hawkins, he stated that the sailor had not garnered access to the electronic medical records of the U.S. President. He furthered this qualified assurance with, ‘No instance occurred where the President’s personal data was endangered.’
No details were forthcoming from the Navy regarding the nature of the disciplinary action imposed on the sailor. With an incredible lack of surprise, the Biden campaign side-stepped any inquiries related to the incident, directing queries to the White House, who continued the game of pass-the-buck by not responding immediately when contacted for comments.
The curious part in all this is that neither Biden nor his predecessor Trump, the two elderly stalwarts who are the oldest major-party nominees for President in history, have offered unhindered access to their medical documents. This element of secrecy only amplifies public concern and skepticism, raising significant questions around transparency in leadership.
In a maneuver that has many eyebrows raised, the Biden administration was put under the spotlight over the frequency of a particular visitor to the White House. Dr. Kevin Cannard, a renowned Parkinson’s disease expert from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, appeared in the White House visitor logs no less than eight times within the last year.
Digging deeper into the issue with Dr. Cannard’s multiple appearances, it was found that the time frame for these visits stretched from the previous summer to the recent spring, and included at least one occasion when the doctor met with Mr. Biden’s personal physician. Given Biden’s age and the unusual frequency of a Parkinson’s disease expert’s visits, it’s hard not to speculate about the true state of the President’s health.
Completing this whirlwind narrative is the proclamation offered by the White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, on the evening of Monday. He issued an official statement suggesting that Mr. Biden had been consulting with Dr. Cannard annually as part of his routine health check-up, with the assertion that the latest examinations indicated no hint of Parkinson’s disease.
Despite this denial from the White House, the questions surrounding Biden’s health continue to swirl in the public domain. This is the true nature of the secrecy and deflection relating to Biden’s health, where smoke and mirrors cannot entirely hide the mounting concerns.
