False: “Hillary Clinton has Parkinson’s disease.” There is no evidence that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has Parkinson’s disease. This is a debunked rumor that originated during the 2016 presidential election. Neurologists with the Parkinson’s Foundation dismissed the claims in 2016, and Clinton’s physician previously identified ongoing conditions such as hypothyroidism and seasonal allergies, not Parkinson’s.The doctor who made the claim is a Florida anesthesiologist who has never examined Clinton as a patient.
