Summary
RFK Jr. let a worm crawl into his brain and eat part of it, dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park, sawed the head off a whale and bungeed it to his car — and somehow still talked his way into running America's health agencies. This week, Rick Wilson and investigative journalist Isabel Vincent -- who has a new book out called RFK Jr.: The Rise and Fall -- trace the full deranged arc, from Camelot golden boy to anti-vax crusader to MAHA messiah and the strange circumstances surrounding the death of his late second wife, Mary Richardson-Kennedy, digging into the brain worm, the roadkill résumé, the war on science, and what it means to hand the nation's health to a man whose own brain came with a parasite. And in a twist no writer would dare invent, the flesh-eating New World screwworm is creeping back toward the U.S. on his watch — proof that the man with a worm in his brain now can't keep the worms out of the country either. It's the Kennedy curse — except this time it's just him. • • • • • Follow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and @therickwilson.bsky.social on Bluesky, and subscribe to his Substack at therickwilson.substack.com .
