Daily reminder that the fact RFK has a platform for the health policy of the US and not a grave after having his brain literally eaten by worms entirely due to his own risky behaviour, is fucking ｃｏｍｉｃａｌｌｙ ａｂｓｕｒｄ
you forgotten to mention, also liquefied from HIS HEROIN ADDICTION.
Reality has really gone beyond parody. We use the term "brain worms" to describe willfully ignorant people, and along comes this guy who actually does have brain worms. Lmao
I know, right? Not only is it absolutely horrifying, but it's also completely breaking my immersion! A little on the nose, eh, devs?
I thought that brain worms was a thing he made up as evidence in court so that he wouldn't have to pay his ex-wife alimony?
he may sitll have one, being exposed to that man carcasses without proper sanitation, is asking for a parasite. he also abused heroin heavily too. i think he got his brother/cousin addicted to heroin and he ODed off it, and he drove his ex-wife to suicide too.
Yeah and also (even more crucially) no scientific education whatsoever
Well sure, but he did "experiment" with drugs, which I mean... scientists do experiments, right?
Is he implying that an ADHD diagnosis would have been frivolous for him because...he self-medicated with heroin and it worked out dandy?? Hasn't he publicly criticized the rate of ADHD diagnoses and related medications?
I know about the brain worm thing, but not it being attributed to his risky behavior. What was the behavior that the worms are attributed to?
starting from his 20s, he was quite obsessed with dancing around carcasses and touching them, storing in his freezer and he would regurlarly consume said roadkills. also he would regurlarly use his falcon to hunt rats, and feed them to falcon. the most recent incident was only 10years ago, he found a baby bear carcass in newyork and drove it around and ditched in NYC central park, this set off alarm bells of the state, as they get suspicious if wild animal suddenly dies there.
hes even nuttier around the whale carcass.
Eating roadkill on the reg
From my understanding of this topic as it is tangentially related to my profession, it's generally from undercooked pork in 3rd world countries. Since RFK is one of the rich white people, I find that to be a more likely source than roadkill. What's your source for the roadkill idea?
Himself
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/08/rfk-jr-roadkill-freezer
That's a wild read. So many WTFs there.
there has been several news report about him eating roadkill. his recent is bear cub incident which was only 10 years ago.
he also significantly abused heroin as well.
Yes, he's had a documented pattern of risky behavior (eating roadkill, spreading bones around in the park, doing monumental amounts of heroin), and yes: he had a brain worm. But SOMEHOW those two dots don't connect? It's impossible to prove specifics, but according to his spokesperson:
'He had “traveled extensively in Africa, South America and Asia” as part of his work as an environmental advocate and said he contracted a parasite in one of those trips.'
Then again we don't know what he got up to while was traveling. Maybe he chowed down on a raw pig, despite all attempts to stop him?
You forgot the part where he bundled his whole family into a 4hr roadtrip to chainsaw the head off a dead beached whale. Then rode back with the whale head strapped to the roof with the windows down.
while the whale blood was gushing down on thier heads, and he made them wear bags on thier heads to avoid all the blood.
