If your blurb sounds like NYTimes Pitchbot you have failed at journalism
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

I ran across this 1896 editorial in a medical journal.

The author is discussing a smallpox outbreak in Gloucester, England (pop 42,000). The town was a hotbed of anti-vaxxers until there was a massive outbreak.

At that point, 25,000 people lined up for smallpox vaccines.
