A worm ate a bit of RFK Jr.'s brain. Not all of it though.

The story is being peddled. I actually don't believe it.

It was diagnosed from looking at mri brain scans years after the purported event. It's a lie that covers a worse truth. The truth that over 20 years of heroin addiction totally irreparably fucked his brain.

The other lie is mercury poisoning from eating fish.

Might be a lie in this case but it is totally possible. Sometimes I click on internet links best left untouched. That was one of them!
