Biden’s Health, Hidden Truths, and the Ethics of Concealment: A Survivor’s Reflection

Experiencing emotional turmoil is commonplace when confronting stark realities that evoke deep sentiments. This resonates with me following the revelation of former President Joe Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, coinciding with the emergence of a new book detailing alleged efforts by his inner circle to conceal his significant cognitive and physical decline. Titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” the book is authored by Jake Tapper of CNN and Axios’ Alex Thompson.As a prostate cancer survivor, I sincerely hope Biden's treatment is effective. Nonetheless, I am alarmed by the apparent obfuscation surrounding his health. The authors’ interviews indicate that Biden's decline was recognizable as early as 2019, raising profound ethical questions about his staff's decision to keep this vital information hidden.
