“In 2010, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was experiencing memory loss and mental fogginess so severe that a friend grew concerned he might have a brain tumor. Mr. Kennedy said he consulted several of the country’s top neurologists, many of whom had either treated or spoken to his uncle, Senator Edward Kennedy, before his death the previous year of brain cancer,” the New York Times reports.

“Several doctors noticed a dark spot on the younger Mr. Kennedy’s brain scans and concluded that he had a tumor, he said in a 2012 deposition reviewed by The New York Times. Mr. Kennedy was immediately scheduled for a procedure at Duke University Medical Center by the same surgeon who had operated on his uncle, he said.”

“While packing for the trip, he said, he received a call from a doctor at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital who had a different opinion: Mr. Kennedy, he believed, had a dead parasite in his head.”

RFK Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain: Report

YIKES

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said doctors concluded that a dark spot showing up on his brain scans was caused by a dead worm, according to a report. In a 2012 deposition given as part of divorce proceedings, the now-presidential candidate said clinicians first believed he had a tumor, but he then received a call from a NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital doctor who thought he actually had a dead parasite inside his head, according to The New York Times. Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.” He had initially consulted with neurologists after suffering memory loss and mental fogginess, according to the Times, but Kennedy now says he has recovered and is not experiencing any other aftereffects from the parasite. He added that he doesn’t know what kind of parasite he’d contracted or where he’d got it, but speculated it may have been during a trip in South Asia.

I'm just wondering if the brain worm damaged JFK Jr.'s voice.

RFK Jr. speaks candidly about his gravelly voice: ‘If I could sound better, I would’

April 8, 2024 3 AM PT

The cause of RFK Jr.’s vocal distress? Spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological condition, in which an abnormality in the brain’s neural network results in involuntary spasms of the muscles that open or close the vocal cords.

‘Oh my god’: live worm found in Australian woman’s brain in world-first discovery

Mon 28 Aug 2023 08.00 EDT

It was a fairly regular day on the ward for Canberra hospital infectious diseases physician Dr Sanjaya Senanayake, until a neurosurgeon colleague called him and said: “Oh my god, you wouldn’t believe what I just found in this lady’s brain – and it’s alive and wriggling.”

The neurosurgeon, Dr Hari Priya Bandi, had pulled an 8cm-long parasitic roundworm from her patient, prompting her to call on Senanayake and other hospital colleagues for advice about what to do next.

The patient, a 64-year-old woman from south-eastern New South Wales, was first admitted to her local hospital in late January 2021 after suffering three weeks of abdominal pain and diarrhoea, followed by a constant dry cough, fever and night sweats.

By 2022, her symptoms also included forgetfulness and depression, prompting a referral to Canberra hospital. An MRI scan of her brain revealed abnormalities requiring surgery.

“But the neurosurgeon certainly didn’t go in there thinking they would find a wriggling worm,” Senanayake said. “Neurosurgeons regularly deal with infections in the brain, but this was a once-in-a-career finding. No one was expecting to find that.”

The surprising discovery prompted a team at the hospital to quickly come together to uncover what kind of roundworm it was and, most importantly, decide on any further treatment the patient might require.

“We just went for the textbooks, looking up all the different types of roundworm that could cause neurological invasion and disease,” Senanayake said. Their search was fruitless and they looked to outside experts for help.

“Canberra is a small place, so we sent the worm, which was still alive, straight to the laboratory of a CSIRO scientist who is very experienced with parasites,” Senanayake said. “He just looked at it and said, ‘Oh my goodness, this is Ophidascaris robertsi’.”

As far as I know (and I have read his book on vaccines) he has no proof that vaccines damaged his brain and caused his voice distress.

I would still question whether it was the worm eating his brain.
