RFK is a bit of an anomaly in the Trump administration. He's an environmental lawyer who fights against corporations. He's rich so can't be bought by pharma lobbying. He is in the administration because Trump "bought" his voters. This position was his price.

I think he actually believes in the public good, but he's not particularly clever and is easily swayed by pseudo science.

He can see that big phama has made and will make billions out of mRNA technology and is suspicious. Now he has the power to cut spending and that aligns with republican goals.

At some point RFK jr will upset the corporatocracy and Trump will fire him.

True. Maybe the recent shift from corporatocracy to plutocracy will keep RFK in power longer than I expect.
