R.F.K. Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain
New York Times ^

Posted on 05/08/2024 7:39:36 AM PDT by GulliverSwift

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 country’s 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.

Several doctors noticed a dark spot on the younger Mr. Kennedy’s brain scans and concluded that he had a tumor, he said in a 2012 deposition reviewed by The New York Times. Mr. Kennedy was immediately scheduled for a procedure at Duke University Medical Center by the same surgeon who had operated on his uncle, he said.

While packing for the trip, he said, he received a call from a doctor at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital who had a different opinion: Mr. Kennedy, he believed, had a dead parasite in his head.

The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Mr. Kennedy said in the deposition.

What he had was an egg from a pork tape worm. The worms lay eggs, travel in the blood and some land in the brain where they die and are encapsolated. They look, at first, on scans that they are brain tumors. Neurosurgeons see a lot of them these days. They are very common in Mexico and in illegals. However, Thanks to Joe Biden thousands of illegals with these tape worms now work in restaurants in the US and we risk catching them every time we eat out.

My sister-in-law, and my niece, are rabid MAGA conservatives who home school their kids. They have been involved with RFK fighting mandatory vaccines for babies and children for probably about 10-15 years.

Well at least it wasn’t a dead woman, like in the case of his uncle.

It’s weird that they cling to him since there are actual conservatives, politicians and otherwise who are anti-vax. Personally, I’d pass him by despite his stance on vaccines, since he’s left-wing on other issues.

But when they began their anti-vax stance, RFK really was one of the few on their side.

Of course, when Covid years is head, “actual conservatives and politicians” came out of the woodwork. It wasn’t a “big deal before that.

My first thought was, did he have cats?

Toxoplasma is a common 'cat parasite' that alters behavior and supposedly can get into the brain.

I knowe it- very scary to think about really- something as ‘innocuous’ as gardening (Something people say is ‘healthy and natural and good for us’) can lead to all kinds of nasty bugs, parasites, infections etc- heck, just a little scratch can lead to horrible outcomes

life really is a crap-shoot - I’ve suffered from soemthign that has stolen my stamina/strength and caused bad brain fog for over 40 years now- it just hit out of hte blue really- and just got worse and worse- I’ve wracked my tired brain for all those years now trying to find the cause and possible cure or help- but to no avail- not saying it’s a parasite- but who the heck knows?
