Robert F. Kennedy Jr says doctors found a dead worm in his brain.
RFK Jr says he was suffering from severe memory loss and mental fogginess in 2010. Doctors initially believed it might be a tumor but in 2012, a doctor with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital told him he thought it was a worm that had crawled into his head, ate part of his brain, and then died.
Forgive me of being reminded of an edition of The Simpson’s Treehouse of Terror where zombies invade Springfield and while looking brains, pass Homer over. I guess a worm can’t live on RFK Jr brains alone.
The 70-year-old independent candidate has been attempting to present himself as a relatively youthful and physically athletic person in comparison to 81-year-old President Joe Biden and 77-year-old Oompa-Loompa Trump. He lifted weights shirtless in Venice Beach in front of the media and has gone snowboarding with an Olympic gold medalist. But still, a worm ate half his brain.
Doctors believe it was a tapeworm RFK Jr obtained while eating pork in South Asia. A tapeworm can enter and travel through the body and end up in all sorts of places. They survive on nutrients in the body but usually don’t eat your brain. There are over 2,000 cases like this every year, though most victims don’t believe polluted water makes kids trans, vaccines cause autism, or antidepressants are to be blamed for school shootings.
People talk about Biden’s age, but a worm ate half of RFK Jr’s brain. People say Biden can’t string two sentences together and call him “Dementia Joe,” but a worm ate half of RFK Jr’s brain. People point out that Trump confuses people for other people and says a lot of stupid asinine word salads…and all that’s true while a worm ate half of RFK Jr’s brain.
In a 2012 deposition, RFK Jr said, “I have cognitive problems, clearly” and “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.” Right there, in all seriousness, I believe RFK Jr has disqualified himself from the presidency.
After Kennedy’s brain worm was revealed, he posted on Twitter/X, a fitting home for a conspiracy theorist, “I offer to eat 5 more brain worms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in a debate. I feel confident in the result even with a six-worm handicap.” Yeah, that’s funny, but you still have a dead worm in your head.
Kennedy never had treatment for his brain worm and claims he’s recovered from the mental effects. Are we supposed to believe that when he refused to release any medical records? Remember when all Trump released in 2016 was a note from a doctor saying he’d be the healthiest president ever if elected? Later, during his presidency (sic), Dr (sic) Ronny Jackson said Trump could live to be 200.
I’m going to vote for the guy without the brain worm or medical statements alcoholic sycophants.
I never needed a dead brain worm to know not to vote for RFK Jr or Donald Trump.

Maybe Trump’s got a dwad brain worm too. It might explain why he resads upside down.

Just to be clear, cysticercosis isn’t from ingesting undercooked infected pork as he claimed. That’s how you get tapeworms in your intestines. To contract cysticercosis (in his case neurocystocerosis) you ingest food contaminated with fecal material from a person infected with intestinal pork tapeworms. He could have infected himself by not adequately washing his hands after toileting. Tapeworm eggs are notoriously sticky.

I’m wondering if the mercury poisoning killed the tapeworm (in his brain and intestines). Mercury used to be considered a “cure all for multiple ailments (including syphilis-see Tuskegee).

The Tuskegee experiments were particularly dreadful because they never investigated treatments. The experimenters infected patients in order to follow the progress of the disease, not to find or evaluate a cure. Mercury was the treatment early 20th century (although first used in the 19th century) because, although it is itself toxic, it effectively limits the activity of the spirochaete pathogen, although it’s not really a cure. With the advent of penicillin and other antibiotics, in the 1940s, syphilis became curable.

Exactly!

To be clear: Tuskegee is irrelevant to the questions about RFK Jr.’s condition presents. It’s a red herring, which may contain mercury at levels beyond the recommended. Paraphrasing T.S. Eliot: Do I dare to eat a perch?

Just checking using (sic) denotes a question about authenticity or an error, right? I did Google it and I still don’t understand.
I do think Clay’s blogs are insightful and funny. I just want to be sure I fully understand them!
Thanks!

(sic) is used to indicate that a mistake or error in usage is knowingly being used. Thus, if Agent Orange, the Mango Monster is referred to as (P)resident (sic) one is aware of the error. In Clay’s case he is indicating that TFG was never qualified to be President and should be, if one absolutely needs to, referred to as President (sic). It shows respect for the office, but not the past occupant.

At the same time as the brain worm diagnosis (probably a trematode and quite small) RFK Jr. was found to be suffering from far more worrisome mercury poisoning, probably from consuming too much fish (swordfish carry particularly high levels of the heavy metal, although many fish near the top of the food web also carry high levels of Hg). Mercury poisoning is associated with delusional thinking. In the 19th century, when hats were made of felted wool, the materials were processed with a lot of mercury. Hence, the expression “mad as a hatter”; many hatters were confined to Bedlam. Considering the delusional nature of his limited thought processes, RFK Jr. is late. For a very important date – with a neuropathologist. See the Tenniel illustrations of Alice in Wonderland and tell me you don’t see a resemblance.

FYI, RFK said that he ate tuna sandwiches almost daily, as well as a lot of sushi and perch. Probably not a good thing!

Cestode, if it was a pork tapeworm (Taenia solium).
