RFK Jr. claims worm consumed part of his brain and perished inside his skull during 2012 deposition – National

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a shocking revelation over a decade ago during his 2012 divorce deposition, where he disclosed that a worm had eaten part of his brain, causing short-term memory loss. The New York Times recently uncovered this information, shedding light on the health struggles of the 2024 independent presidential candidate.

Kennedy initially feared he had a brain tumor when he started experiencing cognitive problems and memory loss in 2010, following the death of his uncle, Senator Edward Kennedy, from brain cancer. Several neurologists confirmed the presence of a tumor, and he was scheduled for brain surgery. However, a New York doctor provided a second opinion, revealing that the abnormality on his brain scans was actually a dead parasite that had eaten a portion of his brain.

In addition to the parasite, Kennedy was also diagnosed with mercury poisoning around the same time, likely from consuming excessive amounts of fish. These health issues led to cognitive problems, short-term memory loss, and brain fog, affecting his personal and professional life.

Despite these challenges, Kennedy’s spokesperson emphasized that the issues were resolved over a decade ago, and he is currently in robust physical and mental health. The revelation raised questions about his fitness for the presidency, with comparisons drawn to the cognitive and physical abilities of other political figures like Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Kennedy has positioned himself as the most physically and mentally fit candidate among the three, highlighting his health as a key differentiator in his presidential campaign.
