RFK Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain: Report

That explains a lot.

Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.
It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.
- My mother has taken a similar track, and come to find out about a quarter of her brain has died, presumably as a result of her cancer treatment. Today she’s a mind boggingly gullible person who’s fallen down every conspiracy theory hole that she’s come across.
- Honestly, I think this might be on to something.
  The article says 2012, I don't know much about parasites and how long they live, first, and second, if somebody had somewhat conspiracy-related views, but not too extreme, then got a parasite in their brain and things got bad, then those views would be retroactively interpreted as him having went mad earlier. So - if the worm lived for like 7 years, this makes sense, even if it didn't, still possible.
  Anyway, most of his activity of the anti-vaccine kind seems indeed to have started around 2012 or after that.
  Which is a shame.

No wonder it died

It didn't have enough food

Makes me think of that scene from Futurama where Fry's brain slug dies due to lack of food, lol.
- I can't remember, was that just a "Fry dumb" thing, or was it related to his incestuous bootstrap lack of delta brainwave?

He said in a deposition that clinicians believed the parasite “got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

Well, that's reassuring. I'll be sure to vote for the guy who had his brain eaten by a worm. That's the best qualification you can get.

Is it possible the worm starved to death?
- Poor little guy

The jokes write themselves

Aww. Poor worm.
- The quote is hilarious
  Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
  Just the way he said it makes it sound like eating his brain killed the worm...
  Also, this was from a divorce testimony in 2012 about a past event.
  It's not a new development, he's been like this over a decade.
- Which one?
- Won't someone think of the worms?!?

Poor lil fella must have starved to death.

- I'm guessing this is supposed to be a brainslug gif, but all I see is blank.

Fun fact, this is exactly the sort of situation that Ivermectin was made for. It's an anti-parasite drug.

Amy: ~~Fry~~ Bobby, what happened to your brain slug?

Farnsworth: Tsk, tsk. The poor guy starved to death.

Oh no, they can't remove the only coherent thoughts he has!

The worm died over a decade ago...
And Kennedy seems to think the cause of death was eating his brain
Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
- That’s just a sequence of events. “I stood up and then my car alarm went off” doesn’t mean those events are linked. The worm probably just doesn’t live that long or something.
  There are myriad things we can point to to mock these people but showing off our poor reading comprehension isn’t going to help.

Definitely presidential material.

If you compare him to Trump, which one would you choose?
- Neither, because he is not a serious candidate.
  Would you prefer me or Trump? Trump is a worthless pile of crap and I'm not on enough ballots to get elected, plus my whole platform is about getting public transportation going everywhere so that everyone who wants to can get drunk at work and still be safe getting home.

Of course the worm was dead. Reason of death: starvation.

I thought brainworms were just a colloquial saying, not an actual thing!

There's a reason we have food safety regulations...
And before that religions banned eating pork. A common worm people get from eating undercooked pork spread through your bloodstream and eggs (not commonly, but occasionally) can cross the blood/brain barrier.
People think it's just a saying these days, but that's because we know how to mostly prevent it, so it went from common to super rare.
But every once and a while some idiot doesn't cook pork properly and this happens.
- To be fair, health regulations have largely eliminated the risk of parasites in pork. Though that doesn't apply everywhere in the world.
- Trichinosis is all but gone in the USA, you can eat pork chops rare here

- I heard he got it from eating ass at rest stops

Ok, Alex, I'll take "Headlines That Write Themselves" for $200

yeah, that tracks

I've always low-key blamed Trump (and his minions) on lead poisoning - paint, exhaust from leaded gasoline, old pipes & so forth. I suppose there's some portion that's explained by inbreeding. But, I guess some portion of the phenomenon could also be explained by uncooked pork products....

It's that whole generation who grew up when cars were everywhere and so was lead. It was brief window where it was really bad.
Lead exposure has a tiny threshold to cause mental impairment. And back then everyone was getting dosed. I mean, we still are. Just not as much.
Which is another reason it's crazy we're still letting the most lead exposed generation run shit in their 80s.
The effects of aging and lead exposure cause similar effects that stack with each other.
- We still had assholes before leaded petroleum and other pollutants that became widespread after the industrial revolution. Not every behaviour can be explained by environmental poisoning!

What they're not telling is the worm died of starvation. It was likely the preferable alternative.

I hate looking at him. I hate hearing his voice. But this is hilarious.

The phrasing of “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died” implies that just a nibble of his brain was so toxic that it caused the parasitic worm to die. Hopefully RFK Jr. gets proper treatment and any lasting effects are healed. With a presidential race where the candidates’ mental faculties are such a point of contention, it seems like RFK Jr. will avoid much of the armchair doctors’ criticism despite his affliction because he’s not either of the two main candidates.

The space worm realized he picked a bad host and committed suicide

Darn Goa'uld need to learn their lesson. One way or another, we Tau'ri will get them.

They need to lobotomize him like they did with Rosemary.

The poor thing starved to death

Called it, ask anyone, the second he opened his mouth I knew it was brain worms....

This dude's lucky he's not a mind flayer

FTFY: RFK Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in as His Brain: Report

Presidential candidates looking good this year:

Old guy who bicycles

Old guy who golfs

Guy with literal brain worms

Let's hope they soon discover and rid him of all the lives ones which continue to devour his grey matter

Lol

That family is plagued by fate. Ts ts. One could think it's karma.

Maybe they all had brainworms. Maybe they burst out of JFK and in fact there was no second shooter?

His head just did that.

Uhhh what?

He isn't a bad person seemingly, but thoroughly crazy, so this makes sense.

I mean, I have more friends like this than enemies, so I'm biased and consider this to be better than a bad person who isn't.
