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.
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.
I would add his previous habit of eating a lot of tuna. Mercury poisoning was likely why “mad as a hatter” came to be. Hatters would brighten their pins and needles with dips in quicksilver, to see them better. Holding some pins in the mouth caused ingestion in small amounts that slowly poison. It isn’t a far reach for a person to see their neurologic symptoms of mercury poisoning to be from another mercury source, like the mercury in one particular vaccine.
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?
Fry dumb. You can pretend it’s more complicated if you want, but the joke is “Fry dumb”.
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.
The jokes write themselves
When this hit Morning Joe on my morning drive into work, I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much.
What. The. Fuck.
it ate a portion of his brain
Seriously. What the fuck is this time-line?
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.
