    I guess I’m still not getting it. What’s the motivation here? What’s in it for clowns like Kennedy when they decide they know more about vaccines than the people who have worked in the field for their entire careers?

    Just an idle rich kid looking for a cause to champion?

      best I can guess is that the goal is to invent new cult doctrines to recruit new members and to further brainwash the existing members

      but at the same time it really does feel like the dipshit actually believes this shit, so… yeah I’m with ya
