I wonder if it’s in service of catering to the area of the voting base for whom this is a deal breaker, without being enough to alienate everyone else? So good old-fashioned cynical efforts to stay in power without needing to do difficult things like actually trying to improve things for people.
Or maybe it is just money, and there’s funding there that we don’t know about.
It’s pretty much pressure from a voting base that is radicalized against established medical science. They got those voters with disinformation on social media and now have to throw 'em some bones.
The other aspect is that JFK and Trump simply don’t care about losing some children/people to disease. They don’t give a single fuck. It’s this ‘well maybe the weak should die’ mindset that is based on an absolutely misguided understanding of how biology works and no empathy whatsoever. The combination of stupid and ruthless means we’ll end up with absolutely needless loss of life between the other lives that we lose for the sake of increasing shareholder value.
