This sounds like a stupid question, but I’m being genuine.
He is telling people to eat more meat, which sounds absolutely insane to me.
What qualifies him to give health advice ? Why are americans trusting him ?

Being a former heroin addict doesn’t make someone a bad source of information, especially if they’ve turned their lives around.
But I agree otherwise
Having a worm drive your thoughts does tho…
Yeah, “from a guy with a dead worm in his brain” would make for a better question.
It isn’t exactly a credential.
Right, but you wouldn’t put a former heroin addict in this position. The optics alone are sure to cause trust issues and this guy is nowhere close to being qualified to run HHS.
I feel like goddamn brain worm should be a hard disqualify for jobs that impact health.
Why would a previous tape worm infection disqualify you?
Because he specifically argued in his divorce that he suffers cognitive impairment and therefore he projects less future earnings. So he himself basically argued he is not smart enough to earn even as much as the average guy.
So in his own words, he has a cognitive impairment that will not go away. Now either you trust his advice (which assumes it’s good advice, and kinda goes against him saying under oath he will have cognitive impairment) or you think he was saying the truth under oath and now his advice is not worth too much.
Basically you have to decide which version of his you wanna trust. And if I have to decide between “he is dumb” or “he lied under oath”, I know one thing for sure - and that is to be very skeptical of anything he says.
I think they’re getting at that there is suspicion he caused it himself by doing things like drinking raw milk.
I don’t think you can get it from dairy products but undercooked meat for sure
It was more the first thing that came to mind from his grab bag of questionable health ideas.
For the dairy though, I was thinking more a secondary body infecting the milk like rat droppings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiostrongylus_cantonensis (One of the reasons why snails/slugs are so dangerous if ingested unprepared)
That parasite doesn’t make brain cysts, Taenia solium does. Eosinophilic meningitis is different from neurocysticercosis, which is what he’s suspected of having.
Bro ate undercooked pork.
