that this is just a MAGA thing. Remember Kennedy himself was running as a Democrat just last year. Also, I vividly remember being very worried about the anti-vax movement being allowed to fester on the west coast until increasing outbreaks finally forced California, Oregon, and Washington to act on it in the mid 2010's. Though I give them credit for eventually moving in the right direction, we are not blameless for the horrors that are about to come.
