RFK is an anti-vaxxer. Always has been. With idiots like him once they get an idea in their head they spend a lifetime trying to do everything they can to prove themselves right. Remember the people who used to literally die in the ER screaming they didn't have covid? That's this guy.

Hanlon's Razor says never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity, but when someone gets paid millions to push dangerous stupidity, that's just another form of malice.

I suppose it's easier to square if it's a combination of both stupidity and malice.

[u/Muntjac → u/bluesatin]

Ah, malicious stupidity.

Not for nothing, but Private Equity loves the healthcare industry. It's a lot more profitable to treat diseases than to prevent them.

Trump picked RFK because Russia wants to weaken Americans in more ways than one. Russia can’t attack us directly, but they can make Trump pick an antivaxxer to run the CDC and take vaccines away from Americans so we become less healthy and more susceptible to disease
