1/ There are a few vaccine shills who stand out for their consistent fear-mongering, none moreso than @PeterHotez of Baylor...
3/ he even wrote a foreboding op-Ed for The NY Times titled, “Zika is coming.” It never did. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/09/opinion/zika-is-coming.amp.html
4/ Next up was measles, and again @PeterHotez didn’t disappoint, predicting imminent outbreaks in his home state of Texas...that never happened. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/08/opinion/how-the-anti-vaxxers-are-winning.html
5/ and with COVID, @PeterHotez swung for the fences in mid-July: “In a few weeks, every single American is going to know someone that is seriously ill because of COVID-19”
7/ why is @PeterHotez spending so much time generating panic porn in the media? Hmmm... After years of research, his team of scientists in Texas had helped develop a vaccine to protect against a deadly strain of coronavirus”... https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/scientists-were-close-coronavirus-vaccine-years-ago-then-money-dried-n1150091
8/ @PeterHotez has privately lamented to me how little money he makes, COVID is his PAY DAY, scaring the populace is a small price to pay, like his fellow panic porn purveyor @ScottGottliebMD who’s on the board of Pfizer
9/ He has at least seven vaccine patents according to this site https://patents.justia.com/inventor/peter-hotez
10/ For whatever reason, @PeterHotez never mentions his conflicts when he’s interviewed, he’s nearly gleeful in predicting doom. Buyer beware of these vaccine shills, they’ve imbedded themselves in the MSM.
11/ Hotez has also taken the baton from Paul Offit in defending vaccines against the autism connection, I think his buffoonery with COVID predictions helps us. Whatever he says, the opposite likely true.
