We can be assured that if Hotez is offered 1.5MM to debate, someone is offering him 2.0MM to not.

I just listened to him on Joe Rogan. I think he'd do it for a lifetime supply of Doritos.

That has been the standard response by the pharma shills from as long as I can remember--to refuse to debate as it would give credibility to the vaccine safety side at the expense of the pro-vaccine injury zealots. PBS and NPR play that game to a T.

Me.......I fed up. Time to make Hotez and the other shitheads just like em the Godfather offer of one they cannot refuse. Debate or get turned into fish food.

Yes, because his net worth is tens of millions, and I think we all know where THAT came from.

Whoa!

As I pointed out in a recent tweet,

"No need for a huge pot of $$$ and elaborate attempts to raise it from different quarters and arm-twist Dr. Hotez. Much quicker would be to just offer him a Violet."

(Referencing the 12 year old girl played by Brooke Shields in the 1978 Louis Malle film, "Pretty Baby".)

Hotez = the definition of "Living A Lie". What a consumate fascist. The truth will always prevail. Peace.

Well that is a good point to raise.

Why did you scare-quote Climate Change but not Virology?

Hotez v. Rogan is so much better than reading a novel: drama, comedy, protagonists, antagonists, great writing by our favorite Substackers, mystery, attributes of a thriller, suspense, tragedy, failure, success. Heroes and anti-heroes. And no novelist would have written it anyway, because no one would believe it.

That Hotez is totally morally and intellectually bankrupt.

No way is he going to parade his phoney self to all and sundry.

Expand full comment

he may simply be completely brainwashed and doesn't know what a hypocrite and lying sack of crap he really is.

Hotez is such an odious, weak, cowardly little cockroach.

Reminds me of a line from a SNL skit long, long ago when Glenn Close said, “Don’t dress that child like that!- she looks like a roach in an Easter basket!” That describes Hotez with his stupid, pointy, pompous bow ties. He looks like a roach in an Easter basket.

Hotez is trying to divert attention to his alleged victimhood in this controversy and away from his proven cowardice in refusing to debate Kennedy.

Yes, RFK Jr. keeps going around the MSM "gatekeepers of the news."

Thank you for this - I'm about as off the grid as one can get and would not download Spotify! Thanks again!

maybe he should ask Clint Eastwood to act like he's Joe Biden and stage a theatrical debate since Joe Biden can't debate since he's in a nursing home and all of the appearances are his doubles wearing masks.

I knocked out a column. If Hotez is scared (and he is), he needs to say he's scared.

Hotez is a coward and one who is manipulating the controversy he ignited by insulting Rogan, Musk and Kennedy as "fascists" into portraying himself as a victim who is being "harassed" and "stalked". Obviously Hotez was never taught as a child that if you cant take it dont dish it out.

I also noted the default response: Immediately cast yourself as a "victim."

I read Hotez's "Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism" book, which is very deceptive. E.g. he goes on an on about measles cases and shows a graph that purportedly shows that measles dropped significantly after the measles vax was introduced. His plot deliberately omits the late 19th and early 20th century during which measles cases plunged by 90% due to improved nutrition, hygiene and sanitation. Vaccines have never worked and their real purpose is stealth depopulation.

Expand full comment

Well the problem for me on the whole vaccine/autism question is that Hotez et al claim that the "science" overwhelming proves vaxs dont cause autism but fail to mention that those studies were all funded by the Pharma Drug Industry and its been shown time after time that pharma funding very often results in rigged results. Of course pharma funded studies are going to say vaccines do not cause autism, Just like news hours "brought to you by Pfizer" are not going to say anything negative about Pharma drug and vaccine products. As always the money trail is everything.

Should a presidential candidate ("conspiracy guy") debate a medical professional? If they both present facts how can their various vocations matter? Everyone who listens will benefit by hearing the facts debated. Whoever is afraid they'll be exposed will back out first.

Thankfully, greed-driven, corporate-owned, monopoly mass media is starting to crumble, as people turn more and more to honest, independent journalism for information they can critically evaluate. Touché!

Hi Celia - I would buy a ticket to hear Hotez vs RFK.

More truth tellers in a discussion a couple of days ago.

There seems to be quite a few people refusing to debate lately...........

Even with his vaccine damaged daughter, Hotez refuses to speak the truth.
