Just wanted to jump in, to note that RFK Jr might not personally remember what life was like before vaccines -- but he likely heard about this bit of family history. Even if he didn't hang out much with his Skakel cousins, he did write a chapter in his memoirs about his mom's side of the family.

RFK's own cousin Alexandra, who died in her 30s, was born with severe health problems because his aunt got rubella during pregnancy. Surely he must know this. Ethel was deathly afraid that one of her own children might be affected too. www.findagrave.com/memorial/200...

Yes he does know what life was like. He was born in 1954, two years before my mother came down with polio. He was definitely familiar with campaigns such as the March of Dimes. He's a eugenicist. He wants to kill. He NEEDS to kill. He's compelled to kill. Cheryl HInes can jump in a volcano.
