    yes so explain how causing the worst public health disasters in modern history bringing back nearly eradicated illnesses which WILL harm rich people is something that benefits RFK and how, even if he were being directly paid for this, it isn’t “stupid” for its lack of foresight regarding repercussions

      Kennedy received millions from the same big donors as Trump. Mostly law firms Big pharma slid into his DM’s after the elections with a few million and he already walked back many of his promises of deleting all vaccines so it kind of goes both ways.

      Let’s not forget that Kennedy very shamelessly joined Trump after his own campaign failed.

      Their malice doesn’t care about what the majority of people are going to suffer from. It’s about what they can gain from it themselves. If these lobbies were rationally trying maximize wealth then oil lobbies wouldn’t be trying to destroy the entire planet to keep everyone using oil.

      It is stupid, but they wanna harm and control others more than they wanna benefit themselves, and they won’t live forever anyway, so they don’t care.
