I guess that stoking anti-vax sentiment in the US increases political division. Moreover, it delays recovery from the pandemic, leaving the US economically worse off.
I think a lot of "Russian influence campaign" suspicions held by people are just because they cannot fathom the other side being genuine. Helped by the fact that Russia does, in fact, run the occasional influence campaign in the US.
