The headline is ridiculous. She was lobotomized, and it’s unfortunate, but largely they had no idea what they were doing back then. They still aren’t very much farther. But it had nothing to do with JFK’s sucess.

🤔. It would appear “they” still don’t know what they’re doing.

They knew exactly what they were doing. Removing part of the brain leads to improvement. The only problem she had was she like to have sex, like any good Kennedy male, except the morals of the day deemed her to be a homemaker or political activist, or both.

Have to agree....long time between events and one had nothing to do with the other so the mods should have pulled it...

It is very sad, but they were missled by Fauci’s idol and mentor.

I cannot understand why this Kennedy does not always trust the science.

I agree. Journalism has been degraded for quite a while now on both left and right extremes of the political spectrum. Lots of agendas being pushed. More than ever one has to read many sources and think for oneself and look past the propaganda.

Joe might not have realized how bad it would be, but he knew what would happen, I believe, when you remove the frontal lobe from the brain.

Image was everything to him.

I’ve always read she was a wild child. A doctor told Joe that lobotomizing her would calm her down. I reckon he decided to put a stop to her behavior. The boys could sow all the wild oats they could, but not his daughter! I also read Mrs. Kennedy would have nothing to do with him after that.

In November 1941, Joe Kennedy arranged to have a lobotomy performed on Rosemary. She had become "difficult" to handle and he was assured a lobotomy would "calm" her. It was immediately clear that the operation had drastically failed, though by Joe's expectations it was a complete success ----Rosemary had lost most of her ability to walk or talk.

She was an adult, 23 at the time, without an advocate --- not even her mother who wasn't told of the surgery until after it was completed.

Just another evil chapter from a family legacy filled with them.

It’s a “time-machine” headline, dontcha know? Also fake, but accuracy is a lost cause.

Agreed, her lobotomy had nothing to do with Joe Kennedy’s presidential aspirations for his Sons.

This headline is garbage.

But the reason for getting her lobotomized was that Joe was already planning for three sons to go into politics and they were afraid Rosemary’s condition would create a bad reputation.
