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.

Ick. Probably entered through his nose while swimming or boating in rancid 1970’s NE waters.

You make a good point. And RFK jr doesn’t have any noticeable effects of this thing in his brain.

His embrace of leftist ideology clearly came from another cause.

After autopsy, JFKs brain was “lost”

At least RFK’s is still inside his head.

“Parelaphostrongylus tenuis (also known as meningeal worm or brainworm) is a neurotropic nematode parasite common to white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus, which causes damage to the central nervous system.[1][2][3] Moose (Alces alces), elk (Cervus canadensis), caribou (Rangifer tarandus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and others are also susceptible to the parasite, but are aberrant hosts and are infected in neurological instead of meningeal tissue. The frequency of infection in these species increases dramatically when their ranges overlap high densities of white-tailed deer.[4]

The lifecycle begins in infected meningeal tissues in the central nervous system (CNS) where adult brainworms lay eggs. The eggs are dislodged from the CNS and pass into the lungs, where they hatch. The larvae are then coughed up, swallowed, and proceed through the gastrointestinal tract. Snails and slugs then serve as intermediate hosts, which are later eaten by ungulates, allowing the process to continue.[3][5][page needed] Changes in climate and habitat beginning in the early 1900s have expanded range overlap between white-tailed deer and moose, increasing the frequency of infection within the moose population.[6]”

This is actually a very common problem in 3rd world places with sewage in the drinking water. This worm is a vary common cause of seizures in places like Mexico, and now here, since they have all migrated here.

Liberalism is a disease. It even kills brain-worms.

Now, strictly speaking, was that poor worm's direct cause of death the toxicity of Liberalism, or simple starvation, having found itself in the empty skull cavity of a lefty...?

Could be both.
Worm ate the brain, gained sever dyspepsia.
Then realized there was no more brain after eating RFKj’s single synapse.

Considering he is from one of the worst families this country has ever seen. I’m surprised it was only one.
I kinda of guessed lizard people would have brain worms.

It started as the earworm “Tequila” and then kept on burrowing.
