Aug 29 2024 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr's dead worm in his brain
How did I miss this May 2024 news item? It is so weird and strange, who would believe it?
Robert F. Kennedy revealed that he had a dead tapeworm in his brain. That occurred in 2012 and recently covered in the news in May 2024. "A worm... got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died."
These words..."They were spoken by a U.S. presidential candidate. According to a 2012 deposition, uncovered and reviewed by The New York Times, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he sought medical attention after experiencing mental fogginess and memory loss. Eventually, he said, a doctor helped him determine a brain abnormality found on a scan was caused by a worm. He now tells The Times he has recovered with no long lasting consequences."
Doctors initially suspected that he had a brain tumor, but it turned out to be a parasite infection – specifically, a pork tapeworm larva lodged in his brain.
Pork tapeworms don't eat brain tissue, but they do absorb its nutrients. There are unpleasant details about the disease. The summarizing paragraph of the article does a great job summing things up: " It’s all pretty grisly, if you don’t fancy a worm setting up camp in your brain" Read all about it HERE.
I wonder which part of the brain was affected. Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance, and his spreading of false or misleading information on vaccines has been called out by many fact-checkers and scientists. I've wondered if he is missing some basic logic sense. Maybe he is.
Could this get any weirder? Yes it can. The BBC site with an article on RFK Jr his this as the bottom article:
"Scrutiny over claims RFJ Jr cut off dead wale's head" The article is HERE.
Here's a gorgeous blue - it is an abstract of water waves.
