that RFK Jr really wasn't in it for the kids or for the good of the health of citizens of our country. He may be an environmentalist, I'm not sure about that. All I know is that he helped to spread serious lies about vaccines. Even when the "researcher" who originally published the false information in a study saying that vaccines caused autism, he continued to spread this dangerous lie.

Families aching to find a "cause" for the reason their child/children were diagnosed with autism, were given false hope that the genesis of autism was found. Families falsely believed that if they just skipped giving their children vaccines, their children would never be diagnosed with autism. That's not what happened.

What did happen was that children like some of the infants/toddlers I work with that could not get vaccines due to their medical diagnoses, and because herd immunity was lost, those medically fragile children were more at risk for catching diseases that we had basically eradicated here in the US. Now those diseases are making comebacks.

Don't even get me started on what RFK Jr. and vaccine deniers like him did with the COVID vaccines. He is dangerous and for decades, he has been dangerous. This move by him, I think, shows that he has always just been in all of this for himself. If you are in politics, or any other field to serve others, I really don't think you suddenly turn around and do something that really and truly is just to further you and your career, BUT that is just my take on him and what has been his campaign. I have been anti-RFK Jr. since at least the early 2000s.
