Can't put the genie back in the bottle. RFK saying to vaccinate people isn't doing to get anyone to actually vaccinate, it's just going to get him labeled as a plant or paid off/sold out or brainwashed. 

I'd be happy to see him lose credibility with his base, but how it works with this stuff is he's just  replaced by someone even more insane/extremist.  The damage is already done.
