Former President Joe Biden's recent disclosure of a cancer diagnosis has stirred fresh debates regarding the transparency of his health status during his presidency. Vice President JD Vance criticized Biden for not being more forthcoming with the public about his health issues.

Vance's remarks came as a book highlighting concerns about Biden's mental acuity reignited scrutiny over whether critical information was kept from the American people during his 2024 reelection campaign.

While Biden's aides dismiss these concerns, his prostate cancer diagnosis at an advanced stage adds fuel to the ongoing discussion, with many questioning the adequacy of his medical evaluations.
