Well, he did argue in court that the brain worm had affected him so severely that he shouldn't have to pay as much alimony, and that his memory was severely affected and that he had brain fog. He also claimed to have mercury poisoning.
Those are reasons why he shouldn't be in charge of federal departments, if he's apparently been so compromised by his health.
He talks about his own cognitive impairments. Sorry, but there should be a field full of qualified candidates to choose from. We shouldn't have to settle for the guy who has riddled his own brain through bad habits and eating random animals he finds dead on the side of the fucking road.
What is your problem and why can you not use google?
Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual’s life experiences.
I use google. And nowhere can I find that any scientific conclusions you are talking about. There are some conclusions what can at most suggest some part of what you are talking about, but these are not isolated factors that confirm causality. Most addicts are poor, and contrary to popular opinion, they were poor before addiction too. Cases where middle and upper class people who become poor through drugs are rare. Drugs are very addictive, but not that addictive. Most of the causes of addiction are low living standards or other mental illnesses. That's why many studies when treating addiction say that the most important factor in reducing the chances of relapsing into addiction is their improved standard of living.
RFK is rich. Do I need to say more?
And my questions toward you, in fact, were not questions. They were baits to make you understand that your level of knowledge on the subject is minimal.
You are such a clown my guy, I know more about addiction than many people. Addicting is not curable. Every definition of Addiction describes it as treatable, not curable. This means once you are actually addicted, you are addicted for good. This is why you can relapse back into it. And just because you can relapse does not mean you will. Which was never up for discussion.
"Hah I was merely pretending to be stupid" meme - that's you. You think you so smart and are the stupidest one in this thread, comical.
You interpret things into my posts that I have not talked about, and were not mentioned in the original comment. We were not talking about the cause of addiction. Why are you tallking to yourself about an etirely different topic?
You absolutely 100% CAN blackmail someone for something that's widely known. Just tell them you want them to do X, or you'll claim you will post online you saw a needle in their suitcase. It's an incredible liability and even if you're innocent, after you're addicted, people will be much less inclined to trust your innocence
Even when only looking at people being clean for a staggering 15 years, a quarter will still relapse. 15 years is an extremely long time.
Also from the article, an important part in the conclusion:
These results suggest that drug abuse treatment programs should focus more on incremental improvements in the lives of heroin addicts, a more realistic goal than lifelong abstinence.

It only works if the RFK continues to use drugs. Because a simple test can show that the person there is lying.
focus more on incremental improvements in the lives of heroin addicts
Yes, because most addicts are poor, usually extremely poor. RFK is not.
You could 100% blackmail him. By, I don't know, catching him doing the widely known bad thing he says he doesn't do anymore and threatening to tell everyone.
👏 We need to start calling out drug addicts more. There should be a registry so that we can avoid hiring them, I know once someone admits to having done drugs I would NEVER hire them. Addicts are disgusting, as you correctly point out.
I mean to a certain extent I think we should treat it with understanding and compassion. However, there should be consequences to being addicted, like not being able to care for children or hold office.
But we shouldn't make punishments too hard, or you'll just end up creating extra barriers on top of stigma and law enforcement to addicts coming clean and seeking help
You want the best and the brightest at the top. The most qualified. If he wasn’t a nepo baby privileged Kennedy, he would never be near any high level government position.
A worm was munching on his brain for god knows how long, the same brain that's now gonna decide on life or death policies. The anti vax stuff is probably the worm talking 🪱🪱🪱
