I was back on the Truth Unrestricted podcast to follow up our discussion about Fandom with the dark side, prompted by Joe Rogan/RFK Jr. fans harassing Dr. Peter Hotez. We also talk about Rush’s “Limelight,” Eminem, Taylor Swift, & more!

Joe Rogan is a hack who just wants to make as much money as possible and doesn't care who he puts at risk.

He also doesn't give a damn about truth or health or anyone but himself.

Because controversy sells.

Sending all my good wishes to Dr. #PeterHotez , a doc who deserves praise and gratitude from all of us for his diligent work.

And that politician? Whatever his name is...is just a moron.

Scientists shouldn’t debate gaslighters

"It is largely a phenomenon of the modern Republican party and its reactionary allies, but not exclusively. It can be seen in our haphazard response to the climate crisis but also in a broad assault on data, expertise, and knowledge. This overall, general attack on science as a whole is a threat to our national security, health, and welfare."

"When historians look back to analyze this era's toxic irrationality, they may well focus on the anti-vaccine movement.

How tragic that we have to stand up and defend one of the most successful health innovations in the history of our species. ...

Science is under siege from powerful players in American politics, business, and culture."

~ Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner

Noah Berlatsky explains what the right is doing in trying to bully Peter Hotez to "debate" conspiracy theorist RFK:

“'Debate me' has become a bad faith propaganda tool for the right, designed to legitimize lies and target opponents for harassment. It’s ripped from the right-wing 'free speech' playbook, which demands that bad actors deserve access to every platform and every audience — or else."

It makes no more sense for someone like #PeterHotez to debate #RFKJr that it would be for them to debate Charles Manson -- the primary difference being that RFK Jr has been a much more effective mass murderer.

Stop the witch-hunt against vaccinologist Peter Hotez!

Fight for Free Speech and truth in science!

Fascists stalked Hotez at his home on Sunday. He regularly receives antisemitic and antivax death threats. He is publicly vilified by Steve Bannan, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk & RFK Jr.

Why?

*Led efforts to develop a low-cost, patent-free vaccine for COVID-19.
*Public opposes right-wing pseudoscience.
*Calls proponents of anti-vax propaganda neo-fascists

#PeterHotez is right not to debate #RFKJr. 9 years ago, John Oliver explained why. Back then, the subject was #ClimateChange, but the principle is the same: https://youtu.be/cjuGCJJUGsg

Es terrorífico que Elon Musk eche gasolina al fuego de los conspiranoicos #antivacunas acusando a un científico de tener miedo de debatir... con el resultado de que este fin de semana un pirado ha ido a acosar al Dr Hotez a su misma casa.

Qué casa de locos es Twitter.

We also talked about how certain states have terrible legislation—like Texas—but we have to remember that every state with bigoted legislation still has good people in that state fighting for the rights of people targeted by that legislation. So while we can be angry at the government of Texas, we don’t write off all Texans.

@erictopol The #antiscience movement in this country is killing people and politicians are aiding and abetting them. Is #PeterHotez on #Mastodon yet?
