In reply to the discussion: RFK jr Brain Worm [View all]enki23
(7,792 posts)17. Most likely the entire story is BS
Who knows what the doctor actually said. Who knows if that doctor is a bit of a nut, or just throwing out ideas that Mr chock full o' nuts immediately took as gospel. If the mercury poisoning diagnosis was suggested by the very same doc who diagnosed him with a brain parasite, I'd be *incredibly* skeptical instead of just really, really skeptical. Because, honestly, here are a *lot* of variations of this story that don't involve this nut actually having both brain worms and mercury poisoning. Up to and including him just making it all up.
Both of those are real things. Both are very rare in the developed world. And both together in a nut who believes vaccines are a conspiracy? I'm going to need some very, very detailed receipts.
