Howard Lutnick told CNN that he believed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who could have a position in a possible Trump administration, was right about debunked vaccine claims.
"I do not know this man. He was invited to speak by a low ranking individual. He does not reflect the beliefs of this campaign or Former President Trump."
I'm wagering this is just pandering, not that he's actually a vaccine skeptic.

It doesn't matter if it's pandering or they know it's a lie if they then turn the lie into policy. The rest of us take the risk of death from it just the same
