Actually, RFK Jr. has for some time been well-known by the staunchest anti-vaxxers to actually be pro-vax. (But for some reason RFK Jr has been represented by the media, both mainstream and popular-alternative, as some kind of anti-vaxx leader. Wonder why that is?)

He's been considered a sell-out for at least 5 years among the anti-vaxxers who consider themselves the most "informed".

Nothing to see here really. Not news really and not surprising in the least, IMO.

He's been "represented by the media, both mainstream and popular-alternative, as some kind of anti-vaxx leader" because he has gone on record multiple times questioning the efficacy of vaccines and advocating for people not to take them. Just because there are people even crazier than he is doesn't change the reality of his beliefs. Don't giga-brain your way into the wrong conclusion, occam's razor is right there.

But just for the readers at home who may want to buy this bs, here's RFK _on video_ with Lex Friedman, timestamped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPtBkw5uD-0&t=6938s

"There's no vaccine that is safe and effective", "the polio vaccine causes cancer". Says the man with brain worms.

Wow, thank you for providing this source. I was about to respond to this news with something like "that RFK jr. is not anti vaccine but pro safe vaccine". But after seeing this I see that he is just a flip flopper

He's definitely on the side of the "let them disease it out and see who survives" type.
