RFK Jr.'s campaign says the worm that ate part of his brain will not affect his ability to serve as president

[llorando]

No, it's not impossible for a infection from a brain worm to cause memory loss and confusion. My father had an infection in his brain due to sepsis and suffered from memory loss and confusion, 10 years later, his mental health is completely normal, in fact just had his annual check up a couple of months, and passed the dementia test with flying colors. Establishment Dem's are quick to question Kennedy's mental capacity while remaining silent Biden's mental capacity, I say this as a former life long Democrat.

"Neurocysticercosis can also cause “confusion, lack of attention to people and surroundings, difficulty with balance, excess fluid around the brain,” according to the agency. In severe cases, it can cause death."

There is no such thing as a "Dementia test"

[llorando]

@msc545 Yes their is, every year at my fathers annual check up, they do several different test to screen for dementia. Here is an example of one of the test my father does at his annual check up to screen for dementia. He had no trouble passing previous and his most recent testing.

[msc545]

If you think that is a test for dementia, you probably need to get tested for dementia yourself. There is no good test for dementia. There are a lot of things that purport to be such tests, but as it turns out they don't yield any useful information at all.

[llorando]

@msc545 I do not need to get tested for dementia , my brain works just fine. That test isn't the sole test to diagnose dementia, it's just one of many test used to screen for possible dementia. My father's Dr. specific stated the test was to screen for dementia and other cognitive impairment.

This is quote is directly from the NIH
"The following procedures also may be used to diagnose dementia:

Cognitive and neurological tests. Used to evaluate thinking and physical functioning, these tests include assessments of memory, problem solving, language skills, and math skills, as well as balance, sensory response, and reflexes."

[msc545]

Yes. What you posted doesn't qualify.

[llorando]

@msc545 Um the clock test does so qualify as a cognitive test, and is used by lots of different medical professionals when screening for dementia. It's not the sole test in determining weather someone has dementia, but it is a widely used tool when screening for dementia,

[msc545]

I'm a Ph. D. neuropsychologist - please kindly refrain from telling me what tools we use.

[llorando]

@msc545 OK you have a Ph. D. in Neuropsychology, and don't use a particular test, good for you. If it pleases you I'll refrain from telling you my father's Dr. uses this test.

[msc545]

You need to look at the validity and reliability data for a given test to determine if it's worth anything.

[msc545]

Yes of coure it does - BUT - is the worm ok after devoring that toxic material?

[goaded]

No, it died.

[msc545]

Poor worm. Had a shitty last meal too.

[msc545]

Thank you on behalf of myself and all worms for the mho

[IceCreamSandwich]

I have nothing against disabled people and would vote for a disabled candidate, if i thought they would be the best leader of the options available. I don't like when people are attacked or accused of being incompetent because of their health, ability, or age, when they can still do their job effectively if given proper accommodations.

[goaded]

So, you'd be fine if your surgeon had Alzheimer's, or some other disease that means they can't control their hands? I suppose that falls outside "they can still do their job effectively if given proper accommodations".

What really makes RFK Jr. a bad candidate, quite apart from his disdain for medical science, if by some chance he manages to win enough states that neither major candidate gets 270 EC votes, small-state Republicans choose the next president.

That should really terrorise everyone.

[IceCreamSandwich]

Yes that does fall outside, and yes what makes him a bad candidate is his bad ideas and goals.

[Juxtapose]

I bet you still say Biden doesn't have dementia, don't you?

But no, it doesn't. I have a friend who got his head smacked in a car accident and some of his brain is dead. He is still smarter than you and most people I know and can process information like nobody's business. Excellent memory too.

[Friendlybro79]

I bet you still don't know how to diagnose someone with dementia do you? Dr. Juxtapose lol. Experts have said Trump looks like he is though. His speeches are getting worse and worse and he is confused on which president he ran against lol. Two old men are going to have moments like that fyi. That's me trying to be fair. Maybe you can too

[Juxtapose]

@Friendlybro79 the special counselor Robert Hur literally says that Joe Biden is too mentally deficient to stand trial.

https://youtu.be/pyY0rV5b_D8?si=Wfc8rwlh-FlcQsT3

Go ahead and show me a video where Trump screws up that badly. You can't, because you're wrong.

[Juxtapose]

People like you would say you need to be a biologist to tell if someone is a woman or not 🤣

[Friendlybro79]

Are you seriously that not seeing him speak recently? He's not making sense at all lol.

Here's a list of stuff. My point is they're both old. Biden has a life long stutter that he handles well for someone with a stutter and trump is just deteriorating. He's not even close to as healthy as Biden. Just look at their BMI lol

Here's some videos for the fox news lovers out there who won't watch anything else.. also fox pans away when he fucks up in his speeches lol it's hilarious. And yes it isn't right wing sources so don't get your panties in a bunch. They just don't want you to know that your God is deteriorating. I was just trying to say they're both old but here it is since your delusional.

This one is from 4 years ago lol do you ever listen to him talk

https://youtu.be/UE9BXkQ-SRc?si=pU2p38IWAhWFbtPk

You can google these yourself stop being lazy. I know Biden's stutter can attribute to stuff like this too. Again my point is you can't say Trump is all there. He's old and if we're going to throw dementia into the mix besides him not knowing who he ran against in 2020 (he has said Obama multiple times) he can't speak. So if Joe's got it so does Trump.

[Juxtapose]

@Friendlybro79 like I said, Biden was literally deemed unfit for trial due to his cognitive incompetence. None of the videos you have shown is as bad as what Joe Biden has fucked up. You are compromised.

[Friendlybro79]

You're just misinformed little buddy

But Hur never said Biden was mentally unfit to stand trial, a determination that requires a competency evaluation and that would not preclude a prosecutor from filing charges.

Read this entirely and stop being lazy and just believing what Republicans say.

www.factcheck.org/.../

[Juxtapose]

@Friendlybro79 that is a left-leaning, biased website.

"It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him – by then a former president well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness."

But even then they said that. It's clear they're saying he is mentally unfit for trial. They're dancing around it and not being blunt but that is what they mean.

[Friendlybro79]

I said they were left leaning because the right leans on protecting his fans from seeing his gaffes. The videos are real are you saying him slurring up these mistakes are fake?

Trump isn't any better cognitively than Biden. Grow up and stop being a child about this. If you can't trust the videos of Trump screwing up sounding like a fool but you can when Biden slips up you're the biased one.

You're delusional to ignore these videos. Did you even watch any of them entirely?

[Friendlybro79]

Also they never qualified that he is unfit. They said he is to just say he is and control the narrative that he is unstable. If someone just says they're a certain way without qualifying it with a test, especially ones mental well being, it's just his opinion.

We're talking about two old men that are showing effects of aging. Trump based on the videos I provided show he gets confused and can't speak. He's creating words that aren't real and mumbles through his words. How is that not a problem for you?

[Friendlybro79]

https://youtu.be/rCV2hZc76R0?si=xUJIUKTj7fG_D6pw

Here's an expert for you speaking about Trump. I know I know. It has to be fake because it's a left wing media host that brought on an expert and experts in right wing land don't exist or are all compromised because they don't say what you want or believe to be true. Lol

[Juxtapose]

@Friendlybro79 yeah that's all bullshit, especially if you think Trump is worse off mentally than Biden. Not even worth entertaining.

Biden should be tried then if you think he's fit for it!

[Friendlybro79]

You're delusional buddy. Again they're both old and stumble on words. Trump is just deteriorating much quicker. He lacks physical fitness and a horrible diet. We know the right wing playbook your God Trump has taught you. If it ain't what I believe it his to be fake. If I lose it was rigged Lol. Not worth talking to you any further. Made my point. See ya.

[Juxtapose]

@Friendlybro79 hahaha 🤣

[Friendlybro79]

It doesn't because I was pretty sure he didn't have a brain to begin with. Lol

[goaded]

LOL. He used to fight against polution, which was positive.

[Friendlybro79]

Yes that's true. He lost me with his current bs anti science nonsense.

[gorydetails]

Yes. This is a prime example of how you authoritarian leftists can’t stand the idea of someone who is a free thinker, so you make lame attempts to smear the person’s character.

[goaded]

By "free thinker" do you mean obstinate ignorer of reality (like you)?

This isn't a smear, it's a simple statement of fact. A parasite ate some of his brain and died in his head. His campaign says it's nothing. I report, you decide.

More facts: "he was also diagnosed with mercury poisoning, most likely from ingesting too much fish containing the dangerous heavy metal, which can cause serious neurological issues.
“I have cognitive problems, clearly,” he said in the 2012 deposition. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”"
www.nytimes.com/.../...ain-health-memory-loss.html

[gorydetails]

The irony of a biden supporter posting this shit is hilarious. Here's a little news flash for you. RFK jr. has done more to protect the environment - something you claim is important - than your german fat ass.

He's dead on that the US government allows its citizens to be poisoned.

[goaded]

He should know, his mercury levels were 10x the recommended limit. His environmental record is good, but rather undermined by his anti-vax stance.

Remind me, which party's politicians run on reducing the EPA?

"GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney says he’s heard from oil-industry executives who were happier under President George W. Bush’s Environmental Protection Agency — and Romney’s promising to rein in the EPA if he wins the White House."

Which party's "justices" rule similarly? (Which party has nominated nakedly partisan liars to SCOTUS, for that matter?)

[gorydetails]

If his mercury levels are that high, so are a lot of other people’s. You really think the mercury just picked him? You’re stupider than I thought.

[goaded]

Firstly, I never said that. Secondly, he ate tuna sandwiches daily. Thirdly, it's the Republican party and their pet "justices" that undermine the EPA every chance they gets.

[gorydetails]

Weren't you also the guy who claimed that coivd shots prevented the spread and that you're an "anti-vaxxer" if you say they cause blood clots?

[goaded]

No, I'm not. You, on the other hand, proclaimed that coivd shots were useless unless they completely stopped infection or transmission.

[gorydetails]

I said it's immoral to mandate them or to ban people from society for refusing to get them. How many boosters are you up to?

[goaded]

No, you also proclaimed that coivd shots were useless unless they completely stopped infection or transmission.

[gorydetails]

That is one of your lies. What I said was that you were liars when you said the clot shots would stop the virus. It didn’t. It did the opposite.

Just like you are a liar when you said that masks and social distancing and shutting down schools and keeping sick people isolated in hospitals was a good idea.

You were complicit in the biggest scam perpetrated on the world.

[goaded]

Oh dear, the vaccines didn't completely stop the spread of the virus (which you said would get to everyone anyway, and also that would only kill 0.15% of infected people even before the vaccines), they just massively cut the rate of deaths compared to the unvaccinated.

All those things you call lies, were and are appropriate responses to airborne disease.

[gorydetails]

Yes, you fell for and believed lies. You must not have gotten your updated programming, yet. You’re no longer to be defending the scamdemic procedures, you’re supposed to claim you didn’t believe those things, and were “told” to do them.

[goaded]

No, you have. And you amplify those lies.
