    Honestly, I think this might be on to something.

    The article says 2012, I don’t know much about parasites and how long they live, first, and second, if somebody had somewhat conspiracy-related views, but not too extreme, then got a parasite in their brain and things got bad, then those views would be retroactively interpreted as him having went mad earlier. So - if the worm lived for like 7 years, this makes sense, even if it didn’t, still possible.

    Anyway, most of his activity of the anti-vaccine kind seems indeed to have started around 2012 or after that.

    Which is a shame.
