I think that’s true and I’m not going to make excuses for the mistakes of the medical community, but I don’t think we should excuse the influence of what is now the wellness community, of which RFK Jr. is a part.
The administration's sowing of distrust in medical community also played a big part. Recommendations of useless and/or unproven remedies as "cures," claims of big pharma driving the decisions, and hyping up the changes in CDC's recommendations as waffling, have legitimized distrust of medicine.
