Experts question RFK Jr.'s sudden 'bizarre' medical claims that include brain worms, mercury poisoning

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. appears to be the one White House hopeful suddenly most open to discussing his past medical issues, a willingness some experts are describing as "bizarre."

Revelations earlier this month that Kennedy once had a parasite infecting his brain led the candidate to openly talk about the incident in a number of interviews, which included him bringing up other medical problems he frequently talked about years before running for president, including mercury poisoning.

"Having brain worms, bragging about getting mercury poisoning and generally being weird doesn't instill confidence in voters, and it’s definitely bizarre," Democratic strategist Eric Koch told Fox News Digital.

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr can't expect people to take him seriously as a candidate if he's openly telling them he might not be fit to lead.

The more people learn about RFK Jr., the clearer it is that his vanity project campaign isn't worth wasting a vote over," he added, referencing what some polls suggest is a slow-down in support for Kennedy. Other polls suggest he holds a steady double-digit level of support nationally.

Republican strategist and Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe called Kennedy's sudden openness about his medical problems "a weird flex" considering Biden "is essentially a ‘Weekend at Bernie’s' candidate."
