I'll say in don't think it matters if they do or don't. Implying they had any effect of his positions or opinions is verifiably medical misinformation and fairly bigoted at that. Madison Cawthorne is in a wheelchair, is it ok for me to imply that his shitty opinions and positions are because he can't use his legs? Id say no and if you think otherwise I would say that says volumes about you.
It matters, that's just something bigots say to relieve their guilt for being bigots.
Ed: also yes, you. You're that person, saying he has shitty opinions because "worms ate his brain" is both wrong, bigoted and medical misinformation.
So I'll apologize to all the people who have become disingenuous dipshits who deny all of science because a worm ate part of their brains.
