Mainstream media outlets, led by the New York Times and CNN, reported on a 2012 deposition where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. described a parasitic worm that had entered his brain and died. Dr. Sanjay Gupta discussed the medical aspects of such parasites and mercury poisoning on CNN, which Kennedy attributed to a heavy fish diet. Analysts suggest the sudden resurfacing of these decade-old medical records is a coordinated political smear intended to undermine Kennedy's presidential campaign.
