General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAfter watching RF Kennedy answer questions from several members of congress I realized that his head is not right.
I started wondering about that brain worm he had and if it has caused any consistent or worsening problems for him. So I asked AI and I got a bunch of information back.
"While Kennedy has shared his experience to highlight issues related to environmental health and water safety, its important to note that such infections are relatively rare in developed countries and usually linked to poor sanitation or travel to endemic regions.
(AI) If you want, I can provide more detailed medical information on such parasitic infections or the context of his public statements.
2 How could the brain worm that Robert Kennedy had affect his brain function now?
When someone contracts a brain parasite like the one Robert Kennedy Jr. describedoften neurocysticercosis or a similar parasitic infectionit can have a range of effects on brain function, depending on several factors:
How Brain Parasites Affect Brain Function
Inflammation and Immune Response
The presence of cysts or larvae in brain tissue triggers inflammation as the immune system reacts. This inflammation can cause swelling, increased pressure inside the skull, and damage to surrounding brain cells.
Seizures and Neurological Symptoms
Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide. The cysts can disrupt normal electrical activity, causing seizures. Other symptoms may include headaches, confusion, balance problems, and cognitive difficulties.
Cyst Location and Size
The impact depends heavily on where the cysts are locatedwhether in critical areas controlling movement, speech, memory, or other cognitive functions. Larger cysts or those in sensitive regions can cause more severe impairments.
Chronic Effects and Scarring
Even after the parasite dies or is treated, residual scarring or calcification in brain tissue can cause ongoing neurological problems, including chronic seizures or cognitive deficits.
Potential Long-Term Effects for Robert Kennedy Jr.
Cognitive Challenges: Difficulty with memory, concentration, or executive function could persist if brain areas responsible for these were affected.
Seizure Risk: He may have an increased risk of seizures or epilepsy.
Neurological Symptoms: Possible ongoing headaches, motor coordination issues, or sensory disturbances depending on affected regions.
Emotional and Behavioral Changes: Brain inflammation or injury can sometimes lead to mood changes, irritability, or depression.
Hope and Treatment
Many patients recover well with appropriate antiparasitic treatment, anti-inflammatory drugs, and seizure management. The brain has remarkable plasticity, meaning it can often compensate for damage over time, especially with rehabilitation.

(13,931 posts)He sees them as rivals. His Trump clan does not get the honors or respect the Kennedy clan does. That eats at him.
Also, his buddy Vlad hates the Kennedys, too. JFK had developed a friendship with Khrushchev that began with a crisis and both leaders shared intent to calm things down through secret correspondence.
Also, the Kennedy family became a symbol of intellect, class, and service--things the TRUMP band cannot claim (even though they try).
I am not surprised the envious buffoon has ripped down the Rose Garden and paved over it, attached his name to and killing the Kennedy Center in the process, and probably more vandalism of Jackie Kennedy's decorated portions of our White House.

What really gets me is why anyone would as AI ANYTHING. Seriously. *gestures in bewilderment*
