Kennedy’s campaign spokeswoman said he contracted a parasite years ago while traveling “extensively in Africa, South America and Asia in his work as an environmental advocate.”
There’s a person who has been living a mostly normal life with 90% of his brain missing. Perhaps we could just re-examine society’s ableism and how we design our systems of government to allow single points of failure instead? RFK Jr. has terrible opinions, but also had them before having a literal brain worm.
I think you missed the part where he also admits he has memory problems because of it.
And that article is paywalled, but it has been reported that in his divorce deposition, he said his ability to earn money was affected by cognitive problems from it. Back in 2012.
It also says he had mercury poisoning (he claims it’s from all the fish he ate), which is pretty fucking ironic considering this is the guy who went apeshit over a negligible bit of mercury in vaccines.
So consider that having a brain worm means that you can still run for president.
Which means there is a non-zero amount of brain that you can have lost to brain worms:
What is that non-zero amount?
As we learned from Futurama it’s the body that runs for president, not the head.

I’m going to count that as a vote for “90% worm brain” is fine.
any other votes?

I do not think it is ableism to say that someone who reports having significant cognitive problems shouldn’t be president.
