Ex-White House doctor gave a prognosis for Biden's life span

Former US President Joe Biden has 12 to 18 months to live due to prostate cancer with bone metastases. This opinion was stated on May 21 by former White House physician, Republican Congressman Ronnie Jackson in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon newspaper.

"I hope that this (Biden's life — Ed.) will last longer, and I hope that they (doctors — Ed.) will be able to effectively treat this (cancer — Ed.) and, you know, he will live for many, many more years. But this has already gone far," Jackson said.

The politician suggested that the White House could have found out about Biden's diagnosis much earlier, but did not tell the American people about it.

"[Biden's doctor] Dr. Kevin O'Connor either lied to the American people or he is incompetent," Jackson concluded.

Earlier, on May 19, the media reported that Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. It is specified that the tumor of the former head of state was identified with bone metastases and was assessed on the Gleason 9-point scale as group 5. Later that day, Biden confirmed the reports of his diagnosis and thanked everyone for their support.
