3. Lots of "ifs" and "shoulds" in that statement.

While I agree that it's somewhat likely that RFK Jr. will draw more support from Trump than Biden, there are still lots of low-information voters of all political stripes that may not make all of the connections.

And within the Republican party, vaccine skepticism is not evenly distributed: It’s concentrated among self-identified MAGA Republicans.

This isn't true. Non-MAGA Republicans, while not as anti-vax as MAGA ones, are still significantly anti-vax. 73% of non-MAGA Republicans said they probably wouldn't or definitely wouldn't get a COVID vax.

See figure 3 in the link below:
