'Literal brain worms': Critics shocked by report neurologist removed parasite from RFK Jr.’s head

08 May 2024

Back in 2010, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was suffering memory loss. And people close to him, according to the New York Times' Susanne Craig, feared he might have a brain tumor — as his uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Massachusetts), had died of brain cancer in 2009.

But Craig, in an article published on May 8, reports that RFK Jr. — now an independent presidential hopeful — didn't have a tumor in 2010. After conducting tests in 2012, a New York City neurologist, according to RFK Jr., believed the abnormality "was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died."

"Now an independent presidential candidate," Craig explains, "the 70-year-old Mr. Kennedy has portrayed his athleticism and relative youth as an advantage over the two oldest people to ever seek the White House: President Biden, 81, and former President Donald J. Trump, 77…. Still, over the years, he has faced serious health issues, some previously undisclosed, including the apparent parasite."

Craig adds, "For decades, Mr. Kennedy suffered from atrial fibrillation, a common heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of stroke or heart failure. He has been hospitalized at least four times for episodes, although in an interview with The Times this winter, he said he had not had an incident in more than a decade and believed the condition had disappeared."

Craig's report has been receiving a lot of reactions on X, formerly Twitter.

Journalist Chris Cillizza, formerly of CNN, posted, "Well I didn’t see this coming."

TechCrunch reporter Alex Wilhelm wrote, "wait so literal brain worms."

Author Dan Fiorella tweeted, "Pretty sure this was a TV show on CBS produced by Robert King and Michelle King

When Craig tweeted her article, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) responded not by saying anything about RFK Jr., but by attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Paul tweeted, "I've launched a bipartisan investigation to examine the origins of COVID, gain-of-function research, and Dr. Fauci's cover-up attempts — all to prevent a future pandemic."

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson also responded without mentioning RFK Jr. specifically. Carlson tweeted, "Why did the medical establishment push the Covid vax on the world even when they knew it didn’t work?"

Former federal prosecutor Chris Alberto responded to Craig's reporting by reposting a February 18 tweet referencing RFK Jr.'s "bizarre actions."

Journalist Aron Goldman posted, "Bumper music suggestion for @Morning_Joe : 'But it was only fantasy The wall was too high, as you can see No matter how he tried, he could not break free And the worms ate into his brain.'"
