Thank you! Finally, someone mentions that 2018 Hotez article "Crafting Your Scientist Brand." I try to cite it in every substack article that mentions his name. It just doesn't seem like something a legitimate scientist ought to be focusing on.

"Hotez worked very hard to brand himself as a scientific celebrity (to the point he even wrote a paper about how he’d done it) so he could be an ambassador of science." I'm sure he likes the attention, but since he went on a publicity tour in 2019 to praise the gloriousness of vaccines, perhaps an equal if not greater motivation was protecting the funding flow for his tropical vaccine Institute.

As for not wanting to debate RFK, you "can empathize with why he is terrorized by the thought anyone might look into what he did." That, charitably, would imply he's capable of feeling guilt (doubtful) or is afraid of legal consequences. Personally, I think he's more afraid of the resulting "irrelevance and mockery" if he lost such a debate. And of course loss of $$$.

Hotez blocked me on Twitter. For some weird reason, he took issue with me posting that he was a medical whore who sold his soul to shill for Pharma and governments. 😂😂 I posted this on someone else’s tweet, not even addresses to Hotez, and he saw it.

Oh, yeah, I also happened to mention he has no integrity, honor or ethics. I guess he didn’t like that, either. 🤔

I don’t totally understand the contraction stuff but it sounds interesting and valid. What I don’t embrace in general is the public demurring out of misplaced politeness or supposed compassion and refusing to examine our vaccine program. The childhood vaccine schedule has tripled since the 1986 no-liability act went into effect. Over 50 percent of American kids now has a chronic illness. Silence at this point is not niceness or politeness or compassion. Silence is complicity.

Hotez is near the top of the list of awful people who need to be outed and disclosed for the idiot grifters they are. They are all owned by Big Pharma. They have no interest in real science. The conflicts of interest are incredible. Thank you for contributing to that effort.

I don’t know who I have more contempt for, Hotez or Gorski. They’re both repulsive sociopaths, Gorski is 1/1000th as successful as Hotez and at least he had the courtesy to not reproduce.

But watching Hotez soil his pants so publicly on Twitter in front of millions has been glorious

It was incredible to watch Joe Rogan’s reaction during the Hotez interview. His bullshit antenna was visibly twitching.

It’s fascinating to see the top of the pyramid crumbling before our eyes, and these imposters still thinking they have us fooled. Many of us have known the truth for more than 2 years.

Hotez: "Sometimes I just don't get it right."

Rogan: "How often?"

That's the real question right there: How often do you not get it right? And what else might you not have gotten right?🤔

Hotez is a real "Ho" selling worse than just toxic information in order to make a buck. His use of the word Science, when referring to vaccines is absolutely rotten. There is nothing scientific about injecting toxic substances into the human body...and declaring they will provide immunity. If the medical profession had any knowledge about natural immunity and the manner in which the lymphatic system work...they would see that it would be impossible to create immunity by injecting poisonous substances directly into the bloodstream. If the substance was arsenic...it would be called murder, but what has been used for many decades is in the same realm...and what is being used today is no better.

Brilliant expose of Hotez, and I loved the section about contracting, and how one should be focusing on being open instead of closed. My daughter is studying for her TCM so I have been fortunate in learning from her also....Chinese Medicine is fascinating. I am hopeful that more and more people are waking up to all of the liars amongst us.

MwD... Insightful post, but sympathy has limits. Adolf Hitler had a wretched family life and life experiences, too, and one can certainly argue reasonably that those things shaped that man. But, those things unleashed a monster. Most historical despotic figures have similar backgrounds. Does any of that absolve them of their crimes against Humankind? No.

Hotez falls into the same group of damaged souls that veer toward evil instead of steering their trauma experience into serving Humankind.

He is pitiable. I predict an early and unhappy end for the man.

Sad.

That Hoetz guy, (cannot bear to put Dr in front of his name) I genuinely thought was a sideshow and I often wondered if he obtained his degree online. THANK YOU for pointing out and supporting with evidence that he was in on the chimeric virus as well. I have only had Baric and the bat lady in my sights, but this deserves much further investigation. He just doesn’t seem that “smart” to me to be working on a SARS vaccine project.

I don't think what drives Hotez is too difficult to figure out. Much like Michael Mann of global warming alarmism fame, these guys were both likely wildly unpopular during school and are enjoying their new-found popularity too much to have it ended by something as mundane as the truth. They can get their revenge on the world and have popularity at the same time.

Just yesterday I posted following on different site. Peter Hortz; (correction Hotez) Professor, MD, PhD. Assume he teaches (Professor), and has leaning beyond High School (MD, PhD). He may be a nice man. (Regret I said that) However, in that he’s trying to debunk JFK Jr’s heavily documented position’s on certain vaccines and COVID’s experimental chemical concoctions (ECC) as “misinformation”, then one can validly wonder how Hotez ever gained his PhD.

The man is blind to not only lack of efficacy of the ECC’s but their apparent actual negative efficacy beyond 90 days, as he blames hundreds of thousands of deaths for being unvaccinated. I consider him dangerous. Good example of not automatically believing whatever someone says, just because that person has initials after their name. Hotez will never debate JFK Jr live on any platform, as Hotez would be annihilated with bomb loads of documented facts. My opinion, He is making a donkey’s butt out of himself.
