Recent social media speculation has sparked widespread concern about President Joe Biden’s health. According to OneIndia, the rumors were fueled by a false tweet from boxer Ryan Garcia and various misleading online videos.
The 81-year-old president endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor, citing concerns over his age and health, particularly after testing positive for COVID-19 again on July 17th.
The rumors gained traction when the Virginia Project pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that Biden had no scheduled events shortly. Discrepancies noted by users in Biden’s official statement announcing his withdrawal further fueled the speculation.
This led to widespread questioning about Biden’s status, with investigative journalist Laura Loomer asking, “Is Biden even alive? Are we ever going to see him again?” Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones suggested that Biden is at “death’s door”.
However, there has been no official confirmation or denial from the White House regarding Biden’s health or well-being. The president is currently recovering from COVID-19 and has been fulfilling his duties remotely while isolating.
The rumors have caught the attention of mainstream media and the public, leading to a frenzy of speculation and concern. As the nation waits for updates on the president’s condition, it is crucial to rely on official sources and avoid spreading unsubstantiated claims.
