It's ethically wrong and unfair to make light of someone's private medical status. But it's now confirmed that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a dead worm in his brain. In a 2012 deposition from his divorce that’s been reviewed by The New York Times, Kennedy said his doctors had noticed a spot on his brain scans and thought he might have a tumor, but one doctor later offered a second opinion, claiming that the spot “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
About the same time RFK Jr learned of the parasite, he said, he was also diagnosed with mercury poisoning, most likely from ingesting too much fish containing the dangerous heavy metal, which can cause serious neurological issues. “I have cognitive problems, clearly,” he said in the 2012 deposition. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”
The Times also reported that atrial fibrillation, “a common heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of stroke or heart failure,” has been a decades-long issue for Kennedy, and led to “at least four” hospitalizations.
But
RFK Jr.’s biggest problem isn’t the dead worm in his brain—or the
cognitive issues that may have resulted from either the worm or
his mercury poisoning—it’s all the bad ideas in his head that are still
very much alive.
On a July 5, 2023 Lex Fridman podcast, RFK said "There is no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective." Three months later, in a “PBS NewsHour” interview, he denied ever having said it. Brain Worm!
Again and again, Kennedy has made his opposition to vaccines clear. He told FOX News that he still believes in the long-ago debunked idea that vaccines can cause autism. In a 2021 podcast he urged people to “resist” CDC guidelines on when kids should get vaccines. In December 6, 2021 testimony to the Louisiana House of Representatives, RFK said the COVID vaccine was "the deadliest vaccine ever made." In 2023 congressional testimony Kennedy said, “I have never been anti-vaxx. I have never told the public to avoid vaccination.” Mercury poisoning!
In a video first surfaced by The New York Post, Kennedy claimed,
during a dinner last year in New York City, that “there is an argument
that [COVID-19] is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races
disproportionately. COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black
people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.
We don't know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are
papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and
impact.” Cognitive problem?
In a August 13, 2023 interview with NBC News, Kennedy said he'd sign a federal abortion ban at three months of pregnancy-- but then reversed course. Heart cramp!
Politico reported on March 25, 2024 that Kennedy told an interviewer last December that the Palestinians are "arguably the most pampered people by international aid organizations in the history of the world." and questioned the need for even a temporary ceasefire. Oops!
The New Republic reported on April 4 that RFK once claimed that the rise in mass shootings over the past 20 years is due to antidepressnts and video games. Oops yet again!
What excuse this time?
