People like Hotez don't realize they contributed to the fraying of the civil order. You can't call for people's rights to be suppressed as he does and at the same time expect trust and respect in return. He has a shocking ignorance of human nature. That's what hubris does. It's a dangerous blind spot.

I greatly appreciate your integrity and your work, I just can’t stand that moronic Hotez. He is far beyond even saying he is hopeless!

Interesting take on both men and showing us all their glaring personality contrasts. Thanks for sharing.

Hotez is hopeless and very stupid. Why even waste your time with him. He can take his bow tie and shove it —-.

"Why even waste your time with him"

Because I am a journalist and this is what I do. Its fine to make silly comments online about someone, I want to actually put their feet to their fire and make them answer for their stupid statements.

Absolutely right! These creatures are protected by the media, and never challenged to support their assertions. If they succeed in replacing the "scientific method" with self-serving propaganda, then we're doomed.

It is very hard to watch any interviews with Dr. Peter J. Hotez. The man is clearly desperate to immortalize the one and only position on vaccinations. . . his. It is painful to see that he will never look at the big sky falling on his head, and definitely not at any of the papers about the gain of function research funded by the US gov.. . . You did an excellent job, Derrick, of keeping him in his bubble, completely focused on his repetitive speil, while he hardly realized--because your questions were so neutral--that you were from the team he condemns.. Interesting, that he talked to you without knowing who you are/were. . . Good for you!
