I disagree. I used to think a lot like you, but Ive now seen too many wild swings in public opinions and even in terms of experts opinions on this like this change wildly. And maybe some of it is me giving media too much credit and it’s something more like mob hysteria or something.
I suspect RFK Jr is just RFK Jr when working in both areas and yeah he probably has certain specialties and knowledge but people do not generally have some kind of weird polarity in their field where they are both insane and extremely competent at the same time. One of the two views is likely just wrong.

Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I don't know about his competence at all, I'm talking about his general stances on healthcare writ large, which I think are borderline whacky but in any case just plain wrong (obviously vaccines are the main area where he's far outside the mainstream, but there are other areas as well) and the environment writ large, where I think he has genuine concern and is generally "right" in his thinking about most of the environmental issues (obviously climate change is the biggy here, but my bro says he's done good work in many less high profile areas when it comes to environmental issues). As far as his competence in getting anything done in either of these areas, I have no idea, but I generally tend to support somebody whose general views on any given topic aligns with mine. As I said, I'd be very supportive of his nomination as head of the EPA. Regardless, he's an odd bird for sure..
