Just as the Special Olympics was founded by his aunt Eunice Shriver out of recognition of the problems of an intellectually disabled family member (her sister Rosemary), I believe RFK Jr.'s passionate concern with vaccine safety likely rose from severe allergies several of his younger children have experienced - allergies now widespread but rarely seen until recent years. He even alluded to this in the recent hearings.

He certainly had a dark side in his youth. It's well documented in a fascinating book, "The Kennedys: An American Drama" by Peter Collier and David Horowitz which explains a great deal about this man. However, that was years ago and people grow, suffer, and sometimes mellow. As long as he remains laser-focused on the goal of making America healthy again, we can rejoice in that and worry about his less-appealing beliefs separately and/or later.
