Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.
It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.

The article says 2012, I don’t know much about parasites and how long they live, first, and second, if somebody had somewhat conspiracy-related views, but not too extreme, then got a parasite in their brain and things got bad, then those views would be retroactively interpreted as him having went mad earlier. So - if the worm lived for like 7 years, this makes sense, even if it didn’t, still possible.
Anyway, most of his activity of the anti-vaccine kind seems indeed to have started around 2012 or after that.
Which is a shame.
I would add his previous habit of eating a lot of tuna. Mercury poisoning was likely why “mad as a hatter” came to be. Hatters would brighten their pins and needles with dips in quicksilver, to see them better. Holding some pins in the mouth caused ingestion in small amounts that slowly poison. It isn’t a far reach for a person to see their neurologic symptoms of mercury poisoning to be from another mercury source, like the mercury in one particular vaccine.
