I guess you aren't slandering him when you say he has brain worms.
How about worms for brains?
Idk man, that seems like slander, since he actually seems to be pretty intelligent and competent.
I don't know about that. I think he has a screw loose.
I don't like a couple of his stances, so I'm not voting for the guy, but he's not crazy, imo. What has he said that made you think he's crazy?

He's a completely batshit loon. It's a real indictment of your judgment that you think this guy is competent.

Yeah, that doesn't explain what exactly he's said that is loony. It's just an ad hominem attack against him and me.

There are a lot of sources documenting RFK's lunacy; here is one.

https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/ ... -vaccines/
His claims decrying vaccines have roiled scientists and medical experts and stoked anger over whether his work harms children. He has made suggestions about the cause of covid-19 that he acknowledges sound racist and antisemitic.

In TV, podcast, and political appearances for his campaign in 2023, Kennedy steadfastly maintained:

- Vaccines cause autism.
- No childhood vaccines “have ever been tested in a safety study pre-licensing.”
- There is “tremendous circumstantial evidence” that psychiatric drugs cause mass shootings, and the National Institutes of Health refuses to research the link out of deference to pharmaceutical companies.
- Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were discredited as covid-19 treatments so covid vaccines could be granted emergency use authorization, a win for Big Pharma.
- Exposure to the pesticide atrazine contributes to gender dysphoria in children.
- Covid-19 is “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”
- He claims “members of the CIA” were involved in the assassination of his uncle, John F. Kennedy.
There's more in there (and elsewhere).

Maybe In2 believes all that too?

I don't agree with RFK on many things, but I don't consider anyone here qualified to call him crazy nor is an expert on anything he is saying. You can call him crazy, but I highly doubt that you have read the evidence and studies that he has to make these claims.

A poll of registered voters in Wisconsin, an important battleground state. Standard disclaimer about polls.

RFK has brain worms AND mercury poisoning. It's all starting to make sense.

It sounds like a pretty big deal. He has said that the worm stuff plus the mercury poisoning significantly affected his memory. He also used it to try to get out of alimony payments or something. Hmm.

It seems to me RFK has done a lot of self diagnosing of his medical issues and I am not sure if his conclusions are accurate. He is basing some of his political stances on those conclusions.

His doctor diagnosed him. Does that make things different?

I thought one doctor said one thing and another doctor said another on that particular illness.

This is a really interesting ad by Trump. He seems worried about RFK taking some votes away from him, so he speaks directly to anti-vaxxers and says that actually RFK isn't on their side, he's actually pro-vax. Really kooky stuff:

Notice how he has issues enunciating "candidacy." Also pretty funny coming from Trump who is also pro-vax.

Carville is entitled to his opinion but he's not exactly the most relevant Dem analyst. The polls don't line up with his assessment about Trump vs Biden right now.
