Several things but biggest driver was a significant outbreak among Orthodox Jews in NYC (Brooklyn) who refuse vaccinations on religious grounds. Mostly little kids got sick and a big push to get over 90% MMR vaccinations rates ultimately succeeded.

Speaking of vaccination being the key to controlling measles …

 
So, like Trump, RFK jr. hasn’t exactly been “humbled” by the office. He’s still the same naturalnews.com kook conspiracy theorist with unmitigated narcissism he’s always been.

I know. Just saying he must have been screwed up by his dad getting killed and couldn't handle the whole Kennedy name. He definitely has a few screws loose.

I tend to think it was his venturing into being an environmental advocate. In that sort of undertaking, it is very easy to see corporations as evil and unwilling to spend even a dime to save a multitude of lives. That sort of mind-set makes it easy to see conspiracies everywhere. Being an environmental advocate while maintaining a healthy and reality based understanding of corporate behavior is an extremely difficult balance to maintain. It's just easier to assume all corporations are run by evil persons seeking to outsouce all costs onto anyone without the means to resist. It's a tough area in which to maintain one's composure and objectivity. But it can be done. I have personally met people who simultanously advocated for protection of the environment without falling into the trap that everyone who isn't with you is both against you and evil.
