Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Unusual Health Claim
Independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr made a shocking revelation during a 2012 deposition related to his divorce, suggesting that he may have been attacked by a worm that entered his brain and subsequently died inside his head. This bizarre incident reportedly led to severe memory loss and mental fog for Kennedy, who is 70 years old.
Details of the Claim
- Kennedy reported his health issues to be caused by a worm that entered his brain and consumed a portion of it before perishing.
- A New York surgeon who examined his brain scans supported this theory, attributing Kennedy’s symptoms to the presence of the worm.
- Despite the alarming nature of the incident, Kennedy claims to have recovered without needing treatment for the infection.
Other Health Concerns
During the same period, Kennedy also mentioned suffering from mercury poisoning, a condition known to cause neurological problems. He has a history of various health complaints, including an irregular heartbeat.
Possible Explanations
Speculation suggests that Kennedy’s neurological condition could have been caused by a pork tapeworm larva, which doctors theorize might have survived by feeding on nutrients from his body rather than directly attacking his brain.
Campaign and Health Focus
Despite these health challenges, Kennedy, a vocal vaccine skeptic, continues his presidential campaign with a focus on health and wellbeing. He portrays himself as energetic and active, engaging in outdoor activities and watersports, often sharing these moments on social media.
His campaign has garnered double-digit support leading up to the November election, with fluctuating polls on whether his candidacy impacts President Joe Biden or Republican challenger Donald Trump more.
Current Health Status
A spokesperson for Kennedy’s campaign has affirmed that the parasite issue was resolved over a decade ago, and he is currently in excellent physical and mental condition. Any doubts about his health are dismissed as humorous, given his robust competition in the presidential race.
