'Dementia Ain't No Joke': Netizens Ponder Reason for 'Drill Size Holes’ on Veins of Biden's Hands

From getting lost in the White House garden to churning out word salads, soon-to-be 80 Joe Biden, America’s oldest sitting president, has become the target of Internet memes, while also triggering genuine fears regarding his possible cognitive decline and fitness for office.

US President Joe Biden, who turns 80 in November, has yet again prompted speculation regarding his health. Recent pictures of the commander-in-chief's hands have left some on the Internet wondering whether he has been administered an intravenous line (IV) of late.

79-year-old Biden, who appears set on running for a second term in office in defiance of plummeting approval ratings and increasingly vocal criticism of his capabilities, was giving a speech at a rally for Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. Photos from the event left many on social media concerned over whether the president was perhaps receiving medical treatment that would require IVs. Dr. Nan Hayworth, MD, tweeted that the marks on Biden’s hand “resemble the residua of punctures."

Not making a diagnosis here, but those marks on Mr. Biden's hand do resemble the residua of punctures. Usually blood draws are done from the antecubital (inside of elbow) vein. Intravenous lines are often inserted in the hands.

Many on the Internet appeared to agree with Dr. Hayworth.

What drugs are they pumping @JoeBiden @POTUS with and how much of it? Look at those drill size holes on the veins of his hands.. Dementia aint no joke bro. https://t.co/q9iIGfLhtQ

If a person has small veins or is extremely dehydrated, needles for injections or blood draws will be placed in the more prominent veins in the hand. I say this from experience as a person from a small-veined family.

What happens with all of his weekend visits to Delaware? Possible medical treatments that would require IVs?

I agree. Those look like IV marks (I've had plenty, myself), but I've never had a blood draw from anywhere but my hand. He's probably on some kind of regular infusion for cognitive help.

In a recent incident of the bizarre behavior patterns increasingly characteristic of Joe Biden, the president appeared to lose his way to the White House following a tree-planting event on the South Lawn. Navigating stages at speaking events has also presented a problem for Biden, as was the case at a rally in Pittsburgh in October.

Republican representative for New York, Claudia Tenney, recently suggested that Joe Biden was "not competent" to be president of the United States, and likened him to “a Madame Tussauds wax figure.”
