Some health policy experts say Kennedy's early moves as HHS Secretary are concerning and suggest that he could undermine immunizations in less direct ways.
He is not trying to create a pandemic. He believes that vaccines are unnecessary. Humans existed long before vaccines, and he believes they do not do anything. This is 100% false and vaccines effectiveness has been proven in numerous trials. Before vaccines humans died of a lot of diseases.
Unfortunately, in the USA vaccines have become a political and social issue with many people sharing or partially sharing this belief.
This is how denialism works. Things that have been accepted as reality by non-denialists are rejected by others. So you have vaccine denialists, evolution denialists, Holocaust denialists, HIV denialists, moon-landing denialists. They typically use logical fallacies and almost never operate in good faith.
Also, vaccines have basically been a victim of their own success. It’s easy to look around at a healthy population and think that the thing preventing many now rare diseases didn’t really have anything to do with it. I’m surprised someone as old as Bobby Brainworm falls for this, but humans are fantastic at not learning anything from history and not listening to wiser elders. Humans are also great at not understanding science.
The anti-vaccine thing is very much akin to the anti-government thing. The idiots that are still cheering on Republicans and the conservative ideology as they break government norms and government services and institutions have no idea what government was doing for them, but like the measles outbreaks and the anti-vaxxer idiocy, we are all about to find out.
A second pandemic

Ok, another daft question….its a fact that vaccines are effective. So why is he against them?

The age old myth that vaccines cause autism, he would rather kids be dead than autistic.
Newly ordered study
Brain worm is taking over his already feeble mind.
Honestly, I have no clue. If I had to guess, it’s to reduce the price of eggs
Ironically, the FDA is actually moving towards mass vaccination of industrial chicken and cow operations!
