RFK has personally benefitted financially from the vaccines - autism misinformation mill. He's not going to support funding that for the thousandth time proves there's no link and the increase in autism rates is entirely contained within the now broader spectrum of what we define autism as.
I betcha he must be getting bank from those dozens of snake-oil MLMs trying to get their product sold.
He understands exactly what he's doing. Calling people like RFK stupid gives them too much credit.
Believing that he is stupid is less depressing than believing he is malicious and that a plurality of your countrymen voted for malice
You can be both a moron and money hungry. See.... everything?
Again, I disagree that RFK is a moron. He's a highly educated with a BA from Harvard and a master of law. He's from extraordinary privilege from possibly the most influential and powerful family in modern American history (excluding perhaps the Trumps now). He was a highly successful environmental lawyer who intimately understands politics, economics and psychology.
He cynically uses that power, influence and education to manipulate people, exploit their fears and make himself richer and more powerful.
He's a sociopath and an amoral cunt but he's not a moron.
