WaPo gives Biden 'Four Pinocchios' for 'nonsensical' claim that Alzheimer's patients will soon flood hospitals

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler gave President Biden “four Pinocchios” for what he described as a “nonsensical” claim about Alzheimer's patients filling hospital beds in the not-too-distant future.

"You know, if we don’t do something about Alzheimer’s in America, every single, solitary hospital bed that exists in America—as the nurses can tell you—every single one will be occupied in the next 15 years with an Alzheimer’s patient—every one," Biden told the audience.  The president made similar remarks back in March while touring a cancer hospital in Ohio.  "If we don’t do something, for example about Alzheimer’s, every single bed in American hospitals today will be occupied by someone with Alzheimer’s within 20 years, every single bed," Biden warned at the time.
