I saw the whole RFK and CDC debacle, how the agency is being weaponized to be antivax, and I cannot for the life of me understand what is happening. What does RFK has to gain with stopping vacines? What does the government gains from it? It cannot be just for show political streght, is it? Just to say “ha, in your face!” and then cause huge troubles for themselves down the road? There must be something they will have right now. But what is it? Money? Contracts? Favours?

    It’s all about control.

    If you can convince your cannon fodder to disregard their own health outcomes, you can convince them to go along with pretty much anything.

    Then you just hand them their marching orders, and they comply, regardless of their personal consequences.
