sparked
questions

are, the

they get
there.

Says
Doctors
Found a
Dead
Worm in
His
Brain

Robert
F.
Kennedy
Jr., an
independent
candidate
for the
US
presidential
elections,
had a
parasite
in his
head
over a
decade
ago. He
contracted
it
during
his
travels
in
Africa,
South
America,
and Asia
where he
worked
as an
environmental
advocate.
The
campaign
confirmed
that he
has
fully
recovered
and is
in good
physical
and
mental
health.
The
issue
has been
resolved
for over
ten
years
now.
In a
deposition
from 12
years
ago,
Kennedy
claimed
that a
worm had
gotten
into his
brain
and ate
a
portion
of it,
which
caused
an
abnormality
on his
brain
scan.
The
deposition
was
given
during
his
divorce
proceedings
from his
second
wife,
Mary
Richardson
Kennedy.
He
argued
that he
had
diminished
earning
power
due to
cognitive
struggles.
Mary
Richardson
Kennedy
passed
away by
suicide
in 2012
while
she and
Kennedy
were
fighting
over
custody
of their
four
children.
According
to a
Reuters/Ipsos
poll in
March,
Kennedy
could
potentially
pick up
8% of
voters
nationwide.
He is
running
for the
White
House in
November,
competing
against
Republican
former
President
Donald
Trump
and
Democratic
President
Joe
Biden.
When
asked
about
Kennedy's
health,
his
press
secretary,
Stefanie
Spear,
responded
that it
was a
hilarious
suggestion
to
question
his
health,
considering
his
competition.
