    I did not expect an aspiring politician to not only admit his brain is eaten by worms, but that the worm starved to death.

      It didn’t starve. He thinks ivermectin cures covid and accidentally treated his brainworms. This is an extreme example of dumb luck.

        Yep, way before:

        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.
