What possible benefit is there to RFK or the federal government to reject sound science?

Fulfillment of their worldview based entirely on conspiracy theories.

Certain industries having to do with fraudulent medicine may get a boost from such a distorted government agency. This includes dozens of multi-level marketing corporations.

Also, Putin gets to benefit from the massive vaccine and medical disinformation program translating into gradual destabilization of the United States.

In my part of the world, cops are near on top of the food chain in any town and city, sometimes literally getting a free pass as long as they do something for a politician, a celebrity, or a business personality. So some of them, especially senior officers, do eventually get obese because not only they get to choose what duties they want to carry out, but also either they have three full square meals plus two snacks a day, or maybe a drinking party two to four times a month.

Of course they -- the Philippine National Police -- are a government agency, but also they're a fraternity, the so-called "Brotherhood": "you scratch my back as long as I scratch yours".

Couple this with American Exceptionalist propaganda which created the myth and social elevation of the American Soldier as the ultimate freedom fighter / patriot and maybe you can sympathize with those who enlist.

That myth. One of the things Umberto Eco discussed about in Ur-Fascism.

How it used to be a fringe thing we can laugh at and dismiss, at a time when scientific documentaries were also entertaining and enlightening.

The Register comes to mind when it comes to blunt reportage of tech news.
