- Not sure I get the logic here? I make low-cost patent-free vaccines to help people in low-income countries achieve equitable access to immunizations. No aspiration to become some American version of a shirtless Putin on a horse. Someone should remind Bobby to wear sunscreen…Who looks healthier? RFK Jr is 69 years old. Dr. Hotez is 65 years old Makes you think…
- For the record: Dr. Fauci has done nothing wrong, except serve our nation. In the meantime, Mr. Musk should know that 200,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives from Covid due to this kind of antiscience rhetoric and disinformation. Elon, I’m asking you to take down this TweetMy pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci
- This is unnecessary. Show some respect to those of us who worked tirelessly in the pandemic to help humanity. I didn’t sleep for 3 yrs to help make a low-cost patent-free vaccine technology for the world, communicating to the nation 3-10 times daily to keep American families safeThe Branch Covidians are upset lol
- But…I’m a vaccine scientist, I develop vaccines, including a low-cost patent-free COVID vaccine that reached 100 million people (and perhaps saved 300,000-500,000 lives). That’s what I do, it’s why I was invited. He’s upset I don’t pretend to be a wellness/supplement influencer?Joe Rogan tells Andrew Huberman that Dr. Peter Hotez keeps pushing vaccines without talking about nor practicing proper exercise and nutrition.
- Such nonsense, I discuss vaccines because I’m a vaccine scientist. We developed a low-cost, patent-free COVID vaccine for 100 million people showing we can bypass big pharma. We also develop vaccines for neglected diseases/cancer to save lives. I actually do something meaningfulJoe Rogan: Dr. Peter Hotez keeps advocating vaccines without crediting proper exercise and nutrition, nor practicing it himself.
- Ugh I just was stalked in front of my home by a couple of antivaxers taunting me to debate RFKJr. Of course I was looking my Sunday best in our brutal heat wave. What is it with people? Well at least Houstonian’s now know I support the team…#GoTexans
- 1/n Many thanks for all your support these last few days, after the Steve Bannon’s dog whistle accusation and the Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr pile on, the online aggression, and even a stalking just for bringing home a Father’s Day cake, I didn’t know what to think or say.
- I mean, I guess I could lose a few pounds, but as I get close to 70 yo, hopefully Joe will look as good. Here I am in a new pic with my pretty wife Ann of almost 40 years of marriage. In the meantime I helped pioneer low cost vaccines that have reached 100 million people
00:45Joe Rogan: "When I was talking to Dr.Peter Hotez, who’s an overweight guy who eats junk food, and he’s telling me everybody’s gotta get vaccinated. I’m like, are you healthy? Because you don’t see. Do you work out? Do you eat well? Do you take vitamins?" - 1/2 As both vaccine scientist + parent of a daughter with autism, I wrote Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism, which gave me a front row seat to 20 years of antivaccine activism, watching it grow into a political enterprise. My new book out soon
- I’ve known Tony Fauci for almost 40 years, I cannot remember when I’ve seen him so visibly hurt. I’ve called for federal action to protect prominent US scientists under attack…Fauci: Why would a Senator want to do this? Go to Rand Paul’s website and you see fire Dr. Fauci with a little box that says contribute here. So you are making catastrophic epidemic for your political gain
00:00 - Our post omicron world: 1. Omicron goes down 2. It fails to produce herd immunity, durable protection 3. We’ll have 6 mo to vaccinate the world & prevent a new variant from emerging this summer 4. It may not resemble omicron 5. Vaccinating world in next 6 months = our best path
- I’m not a historian but from my time in the media daily since inauguration, I believe @JoeBiden will be remembered as an important @POTUS who kept our nation together when things could have gone horribly wrong, reminding America 🇺🇸 that a good person can occupy the @WhiteHouseSeeing our President visiting the children in the hospital for Christmas warms my heart 💙
- Seriously Elon? This is monstrous. 200,000 Americans needlessly perished (including 40,000 Texans, our neighbors) because they were victims of antivaccine disinformation during our awful Covid delta/BA.1 waves in 2021-22. Please don’t do this…Replying to @joeroganHe’s afraid of a public debate, because he knows he’s wrong
