If there's a lesson to be learned here from what happened with 'vaccine expert' Professor Peter Hotez MD PhD it's THIS - do NOT talk smack on Twitter about Joe Rogan complaining that Spotify isn't doing more to silence him, on COVID or any topic.
This is just so lame.
Oh, and using a VICE article to do it?
Super lame.
Spotify Has Stopped Even Sort of Trying to Stem Joe Rogan’s Vaccine Misinformation. It’s really true @annamerlan just awful. And from all the online attacks I’m receiving after this absurd podcast, it’s clear many actually believe this nonsense https://t.co/GwIFsOODC2

Not only is this incredibly whiny, but bizarre that he'd tweet it without tagging Rogan. Almost as if he was doing it for his followers, not to really make a point. Besides, he had to know eventually Rogan would see or hear about him trying to pick a fight ...
Peter, if you claim what RFKjr is saying is “misinformation” I am offering you $100,000.00 to the charity of your choice if you’re willing to debate him on my show with no time limit. https://t.co/m0HxYek0GX

WHOA.
Here's Hotez's opportunity, you know? Surely he'll take it.
Joe, you have my cell, my email, I’m always willing to speak with you https://t.co/dJDzJMxBwi
— Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD (@PeterHotez) June 17, 2023
Ummm ... c'mon man.
This is a non answer. I challenged you publicly because you publicly quote tweeted and agreed with that dogshit vice article. If you’re really serious about what you stand for, you now have a massive opportunity for a debate that will reach the largest audience a discussion… https://t.co/g1FGalC0Ym

Oh, but it got much worse.
By the way, @PeterHotez , I saw this tweet that you deleted. pic.twitter.com/eS7ynkGqGO

DUDE.
Even Elon Musk got in on it:
He’s afraid of a public debate, because he knows he’s wrong
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 17, 2023
They're all scared to debate it because they know what was done was wrong, and far too many people were more than happy to push misinformation whether it was for their own benefit, or for the powers that be.
Maybe @PeterHotez just hates charity 🤷♂️

Elon: Maybe you weren’t aware but in 2020 we asked you to support our lab that ultimately made low-cost, patent-free Covid vaccines, 100 million doses administered. Even though you couldn’t help us then, we still need help for our low-cost XBB booster + universal CoV versions https://t.co/CkCDgjuOxg

Dude, take the L.
Quick summary:@PeterHotez: "Wow, RFK Jr. and Rogan were spreading dangerous misinformed."@joerogan: "Okay, come show us what we have wrong."
— Chris Hardman. Sauna King.🌲🥚🇺🇸 (@chhardman) June 18, 2023
Hotez: "No."
Joe: "Why not?"@elonmusk: "He knows he's wrong."
Hotez: "I'm an expert"
Joe: "Okay, come share your expertise"…
Accurate summary. Look, I’m prepared to argue in favor of vaccines if you’d like.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 18, 2023
Do I think vaccines should be examined closely & mortality risk isn’t substantially reduced in America? Yes.
However, you should definitely take vaccines if traveling to places where that disease…
Oh, and if you guys thought $100k was a lot to offer, others starting chipping in more money to get him to debate.
💰 The Peter Hotez vs. RFK Jr Charity Debate Pot Is Up To $860,000!!

Wow. Ok, so we're not experts but if you guys want us to come on and debate, we're all for it. SAY WHEN.
Heh.
Joe if you are serious about addressing vaccines + the fact that 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly perished during our awful delta/BA.1 Covid waves (including 40,000 in our state of Texas) because they fell victims to vaccine disinformation: I want to have that discussion https://t.co/m8vGNtLnJs
— Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD (@PeterHotez) June 18, 2023
Again, I’m going to ask you very clearly, are you willing to debate @RobertKennedyJr on my podcast? https://t.co/vFkzW9CCBq
— Joe Rogan (@joerogan) June 18, 2023
We're going to guess it's a no.
