    Are you claiming he announced this as part of his campaign? The misinformation around this brain worm stuff is pretty astounding, as are people’s glee in dogpiling over it.

    Because facts do matter:

    • RFK Jr found and removed the brain worm 15 years ago.
    • It’s an incredibly common parasite which most often is contracted in large scale livestock farms, the kind of which he was litigating in the 2000s.
    • Almost 2 Billion people have or have had this same parasite in their lifetimes.
    • The story was resurfaced earlier this year in May once it became apparent he was a threat to the Trump campaign, by the New York Post (owned by Fox News Corp).

        Also the deposition where he revealed the dead brain worm was using its damage as an excuse to pay his divorced wife less alimony because he had reduced mental capacity to earn with.
