Is Joe Kennedy III the one who is antivaxx? I can't keep up with the crazy train

That's Robert Kennedy Jr, son of RFK. I don't know enough about his stance to know if he's an anti-vaxxer or just skeptical that all vaccines are safe and efficient.

I'm not anti-vaccine at all, but in the US, Big Pharma is a thing, as is the Medical Industrial Complex. Big Pharma is one of the most powerful political lobbies, as evidenced by the money being poured into trying to convince society that transitioning kids is normal.

And I also think that caution should be taken with anything one puts in ones body. I'm old enough to remember dozens of medical recalls, some very serious.

Past that, healthy skepticism about anything the US government says should be encouraged. I'm thinking of Iraq's non-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction, "the air in lower Manhattan is safe to breath" (just after 9/11), Fauci initially saying we don't need masks. And now the Democrats with their "Transwomen Are Women"...
