You have to admit it explains a lot.

This was my response. I was like if you’d told this to 2014 me I’d have been shocked and extremely confused. 2024 me reads this and shrugs.

Wot? Wot? No request for detailed comments from me, the actual parasitologist in the family? How remiss of you.

I'll take your brain fluke and raise you a Taenia pisiformis, rabbit-boy.

"The funniest part of all this is that RFK’s actual neurological issues probably weren’t caused by the literal worm in his brain but because he had been eating so much tuna fish that he got mercury poisoning."

Mercury poisoning that he then blames on the thimerosal they used to put in vaccines. Maybe because of the brain worms? Who knows, but misplaced blame regardless.

Hi-larious piece. I thought this was satire when I heard about it earlier.. in what world are we actually living?

I thought RFK was a Darwin Award recipient, then I read about the brain worms. I think my brain worms prolly have autism too. Random executive functioning like me. "No, you IDIOT, you EAT THE BRAIN!"

So he got Freddie Mercury's poisoning from eating too much tuner?
