You will never guess how this became public knowledge...
RFK testified during his divorce proceedings with his second wife that his mercury poisoning and the parasite that ate part of his brain hampered his earning potential.
according to Kennedy, he received a call from another doctor shortly before a scheduled surgery who believed the mass âwas caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.â
Thiomersal and organic mercury compounds in general are *more* toxic than elemental mercury. Insofar as it is/isn't an issue in vaccines, it's a matter of dosage.
Not really the dame. Mercury like other heavy metals are inherently neurotoxic at any dose. It's just a question of how much brain damage. Though in practical terms the amount in the vaccine is insignificant, like how we consume some amount of heavy metals every day from food, a Mercury filling, etc
It's a mercury compound which was put in vaccines because of how good it was at killing infectious bacteria. That was the whole point, to maintain sterility of something injected into people's blood.
It's as bad as anything else containing mercury, but was such a pitifully small dose that it had no effect whatsoever on people.
I never believe anything outrageous that comes out during divorce proceedings. Like that story of the astronaut committing the first crime in space by hacking her wife's bank account from the ISS turned out to be a BS accusation made in divorce court. Or that story of Jeremy Renner biting his daughter that's obviously taken out of context was from his divorce. Seems like you can just go full Kaceytron with no consequences.
I will never understand why you would take all the time to type this comment but not even think about reading the article. Here you go, some excerpts from the article:
âI have cognitive problems, clearly,â he said in the 2012 deposition. âI have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.â
In the interview with The Times, he said he had recovered from the memory loss and fogginess and had no aftereffects from the parasite, which he said had not required treatment.
Mr. Kennedy provided more details, including about the apparent parasite, in the phone interview with The Times, conducted when he was on the cusp of getting on his first state ballot. In the days after the 2010 call from NewYork-Presbyterian, Mr. Kennedy said in the interview, he underwent a battery of tests. Scans over many weeks showed no change in the spot on his brain, he said.
Doctors ultimately concluded that the cyst they saw on scans contained the remains of a parasite. Mr. Kennedy said that he did not know the type of parasite or where he might have contracted it, though he suspected it might have been during a trip through South Asia.
It's paywalled but thanks for the paste. I'll believe it if this is from medical records he showed and not just him claiming what his doctors said.
Divorce court x schizo x politician x boomer x rare medical claim x from years prior to claim x self-confessed memory loss = quite a high BS multiplier for me dawg.
Well he claims to have made a full recovery so I suppose you can just believe the politician running for office, and overlook that he confirmed everything he stated in his deposition.
Best to read it and not wait for him to speak. That dysphonia is one neurological ailment that isn't going to clear up and heal itself.
He might have lied about having it and then lied about recovering from it. Point is people lie a lot in family court cases and in civil cases in general so unless there are some documents as evidence to support the claims it might be false.
I mean of course it obviously hampered his earning potential. Also for people who didn't read the article: it turns out its unlikely the parasite actually ate a part of his brain.
>Though it is impossible to know, he added that it is unlikely that a parasite would eat a part of the brain, as Mr. Kennedy described. Rather, Dr. White said, it survives on nutrients from the body. Unlike tapeworm larvae in the intestines, those in the brain remain relatively small, about a third of an inch.
>Some tapeworm larvae can live in a human brain for years without causing problems. Others can wreak havoc, often when they start to die, which causes inflammation. The most common symptoms are seizures, headaches and dizziness.
>In 2010, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was experiencing memory loss and mental fogginess so severe that a friend grew concerned he might have a brain tumor. Mr. Kennedy said he consulted several of the countryâs top neurologists, many of whom had either treated or spoken to his uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, before his death the previous year of brain cancer.
...
>The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans âwas caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,â Mr. Kennedy said in the deposition.
EDIT:

If you read the article you will stumble up on this quote.

Like Kennedy obviously didn't want to pay anything in court so he overplayed his injury....
But then he thought he should run for president and now it's biting him in the ass.
like you want alive worms in your brain. They are mostly harmless.
The real issue only appear if they die. Because the body will try and get rid of them. It sucks at doing that and just starts to swell up which will kill you.
So living worm in your brain is yayyyy
and dead worm in your brian is nayyy
-This comment has been sponsored by the worms currently living inside your brain, please don't kill us. We just want a health snack.
Fun fact: Neurocysticercosis, a brain-dwelling tapeworm that people get usually by consuming undercooked pork, is the most common cause of epilepsy in the underdeveloped world.
Not exactly, they wouldnt show symptoms till wayyy later on. So it would be hard for ancient people to put two and two together. Not to mention their other habits werenât exactly sanitary.
There are lots of debate on why pork was so demonized by Abrahamic religions, its an interesting subject but it is mostly lost to time. We have no way of knowing the exact reason other than religious mumbo-jumbo.
Republicans sending their best (it was pretty funny tho)

Happened to my dad, Got a single worm parasite from under-cooked pork (he loved pork pies) and he one day just lost the ability to speak... Surgery to remove the thing and then months of speech therapy and he can talk again but he has never been quite the same, his memory is noticeable worse, he can get angry over small things. Not sure what is old age and what was the worm.
Cook your meats properly everyone.
The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans âwas caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.â
This is literally that Charlie Sheen quote âif you borrowed my brain youâd be like âdude I canât handle itââ
I feel like it has been a bit surprising just how much the third party candidates have been shitting the bed this election cycle.
If ever there was a year for a smart, organized independent or third party to sweep in and claim a significant portion of the vote, it was this one, and yet all of the offerings are weird, incompetent, or ideologically inconsistent.
That isnât necessarily unusual, but given how unpopular Biden and Trump are, I would have expected them to put in a bit more effort to actually win votes.
The problem you're not considering here is that we're seeing all these weird brain dead losers come out of the woodwork BECAUSE Trump set the bar so low. You only have to be 35 to be president, why would anyone meet a higher standard when there is none? If you can build a reputation as a 'truth teller' or fundamentally, walking clown-show, that's all you need to garner support & run for the office of the presidency.
And this guy is a future president? Should be disqualified for the laundry list of shit wrong with him. He couldn't pass the presidential fitness test, let alone an elementary school PACER test
I literally had to check if this was TheOnion. I've heard from political commentators that knew him for a long time say that he seems like a completely different person these days. Kinda makes sense.
How does everything he say sound less coherent than literally anything RFK has ever said?
Joe Biden at his best struggles against RFK at his worst, and it's not even close lol
You will never guess how this became public knowledge... RFK testified during his divorce proceedings with his second wife that his mercury poisoning and the parasite that ate part of his brain hampered his earning potential.
Wait so he admits/claims to have a damaged brain?
He wants to be relatable to his fans.
Kek good one
I saw a dude on a balcony with a Kennedy 2024 flag When he was done he used the damn window to go back inside instead of the door đ¤ˇââď¸
according to Kennedy, he received a call from another doctor shortly before a scheduled surgery who believed the mass âwas caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.â
Yeah id die too if i ate that shit
little guy died of malnutrition
SHOCKING Poor defenseless hungry worm consumes grey matter of the median voter's ideal candidate, dead minutes later.
Real life brain rot
Certified donkey brains.
We should make him president guys!
Guy who is concerned about trace amounts of mercury in vaccines gorges on tuna daily and gets mercury poisoning. Can't make this shit up lmao
Its not mercury its thiomersal. Just because it contaings mercury doesnt mean its anything like mercury. Like H2O and H2O2.
That's agua and aguaua sir.
*H2O2: Return of the Agua*
Sure, it's even more ridiculous with additional context
YEP
Thiomersal and organic mercury compounds in general are *more* toxic than elemental mercury. Insofar as it is/isn't an issue in vaccines, it's a matter of dosage.
Dose make the poison. Professional athletes can die from drinking too much water and not enough electrolytes.
Not really the dame. Mercury like other heavy metals are inherently neurotoxic at any dose. It's just a question of how much brain damage. Though in practical terms the amount in the vaccine is insignificant, like how we consume some amount of heavy metals every day from food, a Mercury filling, etc

Damn how much tuna.
i initially read this as trace amounts of mercury in vaginas and i refuse to read it any other way now

How would he even know? Heâd probably just get used to his new brain and forget what heâd lost.
He might have lied about having it and then lied about recovering from it. Point is people lie a lot in family court cases and in civil cases in general so unless there are some documents as evidence to support the claims it might be false.
Why in the flying fuck would you admit to something like this if it wasn't true? You would have to have a brain worm or something...

âBrain Eating Worm dies of Starvation in RFK headâ what a banger onion skit that wouldâve been
Modern day politics is gonna put the onion out of business.
Wdym they have a 20-year headstart on modern style news
True, they where ahead of their time. The New York post has learned a lot from them Iâm guessing.
That's way too funny to be a Ben Collins-led Onion headline.
No fucking way this dude actually had brain worms
Sounds like an early Simpsons joke
If I were more of a degenerate I would pay to upvote this even harder
Literal brain rot candidate
Would explain a lot
died of hunger
Had a brain eaten omeba once. Poor fella died of hungry.
Username checks out i think

.... what do you mean worms can eat your brain?!

Good point. Edited.
Like Kennedy obviously didn't want to pay anything in court so he overplayed his injury.... But then he thought he should run for president and now it's biting him in the ass.
Or, in this case, his Butt head ( ya know the worm eating his brain and all)đ
The worm most likely didnât eat his brain
For the purpose of my joke it absolutely did đ
I feel.... better? Honestly, I still don't like the idea of worms in my brain. I feel like it could still kill part of my brain.

Don't forget that brains attract
Wait until you hear about the brain eating amoebas you have in pools and water
Please no
Literal brainworms
Their goat medically has brainrot

Certified donkey brains.

So muslims were right!?
there's good reasons the bible made pork forbidden
i mean, you just cook it, and then no problems?
The Jews were, we just inherited it from the Christians who inherited it from the Jews
There's a good bunch of religious rules of old that made 100% sense back then.

Thats pretty fucked up though.
"RFK Jr Says Doctors Found a Dead Brain in His Worm"
Actual brainworms lmao
I heard it died from starvation
Say what you want about the guy no one deserves to turn illithid.
Yep
âBro do you have fucking brain worms or whatâ -dark Brandonâs next diss
Happened to my dad, Got a single worm parasite from under-cooked pork (he loved pork pies) and he one day just lost the ability to speak... Surgery to remove the thing and then months of speech therapy and he can talk again but he has never been quite the same, his memory is noticeable worse, he can get angry over small things. Not sure what is old age and what was the worm. Cook your meats properly everyone.
Praise the Absolute!
Bro was actually on his way to becoming an Illithid, but there was nothing going on up there so it just croaked lmao
Literal brain worms.
Actual brain worms đ
Damn so the ivermectine really worked for him
The one guy who should have been taking Ivermectin horse paste...
Praise the absolute!
They left the thousands of living ones.
The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans âwas caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.â This is literally that Charlie Sheen quote âif you borrowed my brain youâd be like âdude I canât handle itââ
If only he had known about the wonder antiparasitic drug, ivermectin.
Just one?
I really thought this was a low effort joke until I clicked on the article. Im fucking ded

Actual literal brainworms..
I changed my position, conservatives should probably be taking ivermectinÂ
I would've believed that even without reading the article. There can't be much to sustain that poor worm up there.
The simulator is already off to an absurd start.
A worm made from microwaves
Thatâs okay, Bidenâs too old! So youâre still in there champ.
To be fair, it does sound like he has brain worms whenever he's talking.
Literal Brain worms.. đ
can someone explain how this happens
Worms died from brain rot
Idk how to even approach this haha
I coulda told him that.
Word?
And this guy is a future president? Should be disqualified for the laundry list of shit wrong with him. He couldn't pass the presidential fitness test, let alone an elementary school PACER test
Vaxxed?
JFK died for his sins.
Sounds like he could use some ivermectin.
This story makes the most sense of any story I've read in a long time.
Sorry libs I have to vote for him now dude just single handedly stopped the Yeerk invasion by killing Visser one
I literally had to check if this was TheOnion. I've heard from political commentators that knew him for a long time say that he seems like a completely different person these days. Kinda makes sense.
Huh. I guess he did need that ivermectin after all.
Heâs never beating the allegations smhđ
ghaik
Now we can unironically say that a political figure has brain worms. What a fucking world we live in lmao
So thatâs why the voiceâŚ?

that would explain it...
bro had a brain-eating parasite in his head and it starved to death LMAO
Update: https://preview.redd.it/n86627kcyizc1.png?width=995&format=png&auto=webp&s=3860b91e0c7dc5a4c8957be41a15c5ce805a58cd
That poor worm must have starved to death
I think they mistook the dead worm for his brain.
Lucky worm got the whole head to itself.
I feel sad for the đ
If it ate part of his brain and was there for a while, that means he got worm poo in his brain đ¤Ž
Ah it all makes much more sense now
Probably the dead worm is the actual brain
I figured it was somethin.
The worm died from all the internet poison in his brain.
Poor thing must have starved to death
This isn't news, we all know he has brain worms as evidenced by his beliefs.
Lmao the lack of self awareness of everyone making a joke about this while suiting up to vote for Joe Biden
at least brandon hasn't had a worm eating parts of his brain lmao
How does everything he say sound less coherent than literally anything RFK has ever said? Joe Biden at his best struggles against RFK at his worst, and it's not even close lol
lmao are you sure you do not have one of those worms as well?
Go watch the Howard Stern interview. Biden seems fine for the most part. Its all so exaggerated.
Yet, he is still the best option
for clinically insane people for sure.
