You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That they’ll never pay taxes or write poems. That they are, in essence, collateral damage.
I’d like to introduce you to my daughter.

Daily reminder that the fact RFK has a platform for the health policy of the US and not a grave after having his brain literally eaten by worms entirely due to his own risky behaviour, is fucking ｃｏｍｉｃａｌｌｙ ａｂｓｕｒｄ
Yeah and also (even more crucially) no scientific education whatsoever
Well sure, but he did “experiment” with drugs, which I mean… scientists do experiments, right?
Reality has really gone beyond parody. We use the term “brain worms” to describe willfully ignorant people, and along comes this guy who actually does have brain worms. Lmao
I know, right? Not only is it absolutely horrifying, but it’s also completely breaking my immersion! A little on the nose, eh, devs?
I thought that brain worms was a thing he made up as evidence in court so that he wouldn’t have to pay his ex-wife alimony?
I know about the brain worm thing, but not it being attributed to his risky behavior. What was the behavior that the worms are attributed to?
Yes, he’s had a documented pattern of risky behavior (eating roadkill, spreading bones around in the park, doing monumental amounts of heroine), and yes: he had a brain worm. But SOMEHOW those two dots don’t connect?It’s impossible to prove specifics, but according to his spokesperson:
‘He had “traveled extensively in Africa, South America and Asia” as part of his work as an environmental advocate and said he contracted a parasite in one of those trips.’
Then again we don’t know what he got up to while was traveling. Maybe he chowed down on a raw pig, despite all attempts to stop him?
Eating roadkill on the reg
From my understanding of this topic as it is tangentially related to my profession, it’s generally from undercooked pork in 3rd world countries. Since RFK is one of the rich white people, I find that to be a more likely source than roadkill. What’s your source for the roadkill idea?

That’s a wild read. So many WTFs there.
