With a second scamdemic on the horizon, it’s important to pay attention to worthless human beings like Peter Hotez, who have prostituted themselves out for financial gain. His choice of language is coached, and very telling in where they will go in their propaganda campaign for vaccinating and subjugating the world. They salivate over using the government, troops, police… to force everyone to take their untested and highly experimental gene therapies while transferring huge amounts of wealth from governments, ultimately taxpayers. The fact they’re also eugenicists shouldn’t be lost, as getting rid of large swathes of the population is also a goal, and why during the COVID scamdemic their protocols, ventilators and other efforts targeted the elderly quite successfully. Eventually, there will have to be a line in the sand as to what you’ll allow the OCGFC to do to you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview removed from YouTube but obtained by The Defender, Dr. Peter Hotez blamed \u201canti-vaxers\u201d for causing \u201chundreds of thousands\u201d of deaths during the pandemic. Hotez suggested the WHO, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and NATO should target \u201canti-vaccine aggression.\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Vaccine advocate and pharmaceutical industry insider Dr. Peter Hotez<\/a>, long a proponent of the COVID-19 vaccine, said he favors deploying police and military powers against \u201canti-vaxers,\u201d whom he blamed for causing hundreds of thousands of deaths during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an interview<\/a> July 5 at the Simposio Internacional de Actualizaci\u00f3n en Pediatr\u00eda<\/a> (International Symposium of Pediatric Updates) in Cartagena, Colombia, Hotez suggested organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security<\/a> and NATO should target \u201canti-vaccine aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve said to the Biden administration is, the health sector can\u2019t solve this on its own. We\u2019re going to have to bring in Homeland Security<\/a>, the Commerce Department, Justice Department<\/a> to help us understand how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve said the same with \u2014 I met with Dr. Tedros [director general of the WHO] last month \u2026 to say, I don\u2019t know that the World Health Organization<\/a> can solve this on our own. We need the other United Nations agencies. NATO. This is a security problem because it\u2019s no longer a theoretical construct or some arcane academic exercise. Two hundred thousand Americans died because of anti-vaccine aggression, anti-science aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd so, this is now a lethal force \u2026 and now I feel as a pediatric vaccine scientist \u2026 it\u2019s important, just as important for me to make new vaccines, to save lives. The other side of saving lives is countering this anti-vaccine aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Paul D. Thacker (@thackerpd) July 24, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The full interview was available on YouTube<\/a> until Wednesday evening, when it was removed. The Defender<\/a> obtained a video recording of the full interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez is dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor University College of Medicine and director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, one of the sponsors of the symposium, which was organized by the Colombian Pediatric Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from being a vaccine proponent and developer \u2014 he helped develop the Corbevax COVID-19 vaccine<\/a> which was administered in India and has received at least $30 million in vaccine development grants<\/a> from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation \u2014 Hotez has crusaded against so-called \u201cmisinformation\u201d about vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, The Hill reported that Hotez has found a \u201c\u2018parallel career\u2019 fighting misinformation<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez \u201cfinds his efforts to combat misinformation to be \u2018meaningful,\u2019\u201d and says \u201cpushing back on the anti-vaccine movement is just as important as developing vaccines,\u201d The Hill wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez also holds six patents on the hookworm (helminth) vaccine<\/a>, and has several listed patent applications as well, including those for SARS-CoV2 vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeter has cashed in significantly on the COVID-19 pandemic and gets a lot of money when shots go into arms,\u201d said Brian Hooker, Chief Scientific Officer for Children\u2019s Health Defense<\/a> (CHD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his July 5 interview, Hotez called for more stringent action against \u201canti-vaxers,\u201d whom he connected to entities such as the Russian government, and called for medical schools to educate new doctors about anti-vaccine sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Anti-science\u2019 and \u2018anti-vaxxer\u2019 are propaganda terms Hotez uses to establish a power dynamic over anyone who disagrees with him,\u201d said cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow Hotez is calling for a security state to enforce his propaganda instead of engaging in much needed dialogue over vaccine safety with a critical appraisal of short- and long-term side effects from the routine childhood vaccine schedule<\/a>, including the COVID-19<\/a> shots,\u201d McCullough added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Harvey Risch, M.D., Ph.D.<\/a>, professor emeritus and senior research scientist in epidemiology (chronic diseases) at the Yale School of Public Health:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHotez has spent his entire career developing vaccines which have not achieved success in commercial use. His demands to impose public health martial law are reminiscent of the \u2018Comit\u00e9 de salut public\u2019 \u2014 \u2018Committee of Public Safety<\/a>\u2019 \u2014 that Robespierre used to murder his political opponents [during the French Revolution].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D.<\/a>, professor of international law at the University of Illinois, Hotez\u2019s suggestions are a call to violate established international human rights law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCoercing vaccines upon human beings without their informed and voluntary consent violates the Nuremberg Code on Medical Experimentation<\/a>, which is a crime against humanity,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cWhat we see at work here with Hotez is the Nazi mentality that pervades so many vaccinologists like him. Hotez is revealing his true colors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent journalist Paul D. Thacker has investigated Hotez<\/a> for his site, The Disinformation Chronicle<\/a>. He said, \u201cThis crackpot idea that we should deploy military forces to deal with moms worried about vaccine side effects and children \u2026 doesn\u2019t that speak for itself?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sukharit Bhakdi<\/a>, a microbiologist, questioned Hotez\u2019s scientific credentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSimple fact: Hotez is not a real scientist. He has never published any research article based on true scientific research. His publications transmit his personal opinions and beliefs. He has not conducted a single valid vaccine trial and has zero data to back his claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has been on the globalist team together with [Dr. Anthony] Fauci et al. and is now turning to violence to silence all dissenters. This very fact disqualifies him as a physician.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis evolution over the course of the pandemic is curious as he has become more and more shrill as time goes on,\u201d Hooker said. \u201cIt seems he is trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame by \u2018jumping the shark\u2019 and inciting gestapo-like measures against \u2018anti-vaxers\u2019 and \u2018science deniers.\u2019 His definition of science is very \u2018Fauci-esque\u2019 indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claim that unvaccinated caused \u2018hundreds of thousands\u2019 of deaths \u2018an obvious untruth\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his July 5 interview, Hotez asserted that the unvaccinated were responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s anti-vaccine activity in every country, and each has its own unique national flavor. But the part that I\u2019m worried about now is something very dark and accelerating in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd the most dramatic evidence for that is what happened during the COVID pandemic \u2026 My estimate is 200,000 Americans died needlessly because they refused COVID vaccines in 2021, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hotez did not provide evidence supporting this figure, but it was similar to claims made by Dr. Anthony Fauci<\/a> during Congressional testimony<\/a> last month. Without citing evidence, Fauci said the unvaccinated are \u201cprobably responsible for an additional 200,000-300,000 deaths\u201d in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risch called this claim \u201can obvious untruth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the face of repeated major empirical CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] evidence<\/a> and CDC\u2019s public acknowledgement that the mRNA vaccines largely failed to reduce COVID transmission, Hotez absurdly claims that people choosing not to vaccinate themselves have contributed more to deaths from COVID than all of the large-scale breakthrough infections among vaccinated people,\u201d Risch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCullough said, \u201cHotez presumes COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective as any vaccinologist would dream. Sadly, his fantasy was over before it started. The COVID-19 vaccines were unsafe<\/a> and failed to reduce hospitalization and death in prospective randomized trials or in valid observational studies. They never stopped transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll experts, including Hotez, agreed theoretical protection from COVID-19 vaccines was just a few months, requiring frequent boosters,\u201d McCullough added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez calls parents who choose not to vaccinate their children \u2018victims\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his interview, Hotez called for action \u2014 including more censorship<\/a> \u2014 to counter what he called a \u201cdark and accelerating\u201d and \u201cdangerous\u201d anti-vaccine movement in the U.S. and globally that is \u201cexpanding and extending to childhood immunizations in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy worry is that this anti-vaccine movement, and it\u2019s not misinformation or [an] infodemic, as many call it, it\u2019s organized, it\u2019s deliberate, it\u2019s well-financed and it\u2019s politically motivated \u2026 I worry that\u2019s now globalizing to other countries on the African continent, in Asia and even Latin America,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the topic of childhood vaccinations, Hotez said, \u201cParents who choose not to vaccinate their kids are victims\u201d of this campaign, and called for medical schools to train doctors on how to respond to parents who oppose vaccinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPediatricians need to understand what the anti-vaccine ecosystem is, how it\u2019s organized, how it operates, and to get educated about it,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that\u2019s a first step \u2026 in our medical schools, in our pediatric residency training, in our conferences like this, being able to describe what this anti-vaccine monster looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for journalist Rodney Palmer<\/a>, formerly of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the increasing reluctance of parents to vaccinate their children<\/a> is due to mounting concerns about vaccine safety. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe rising movement questioning the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines appears to be based on mounting evidence from government health data collection agencies<\/a> and the life insurance industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fraud and cover-up of ivermectin as an effective prevention and treatment of COVID-19 caused a segment of the population to question the official guidance around vaccines \u2014 more so once they were mandated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hotez blamed legacy and traditional media, as well as foreign governments, for fueling anti-vaccine sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFox News is now a source of anti-vaccine disinformation,\u201d Hotez said. \u201cIf the parents are watching Fox News every night \u2026 They are going to be coming into your practice believing disinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to social media, Hotez said, \u201cTwitter, since Elon Musk has taken it over<\/a>, has become an anti-vaccine site dominated by anti-vaccine groups and individuals who are monetizing the internet. They\u2019re selling fake autism cures because they say vaccines cause autism<\/a>, which they don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez continues to be active on Twitter<\/a> \u2014 now known as X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adversarial foreign governments are also to blame for propagating anti-vaccine rhetoric, according to Hotez. \u201cFor instance, the Russian government, the Putin government, is spreading anti-vaccine propaganda. The goal of this is to destabilize society and to have caused people to question authority,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez did not provide any information to support this claim. Russia produces the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine<\/a>, under the auspices of the Russian Direct Investment Fund<\/a> and The Gamaleya National Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology<\/a> \u2014 an arm of the Russian federal government<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez calls \u2018anti-vaccine movement\u2019 a tool of the \u2018far-right\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez also used the interview as an opportunity to plug his upcoming book, \u201cThe Deadly Rise of Anti-Science<\/a>: A Scientist\u2019s Warning.\u201d He said the book \u201cdescribes [the anti-vaccine] ecosystem and its political leanings in detail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the book\u2019s publisher, Johns Hopkins University Press, Hotez \u201cexplains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force\u201d and how \u201cthe anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Hotez fiercely criticized<\/a> looming Congressional hearings<\/a> into a possible lab-leak origin<\/a> of COVID-19 and whether the National Institutes of Health (NIH) prematurely discredited the hypothesis, dismissing this as an \u201coutlandish conspiracy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Hotez\u2019s own 2012 to 2017 NIH grant<\/a> \u2014 totaling $6.1 million \u2014 for the development of a SARS vaccine had the aim of responding to any \u201caccidental release from a laboratory<\/a>,\u201d in addition to a possible zoonotic (or natural) spillover of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a June 2023 interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., CHD\u2019s chairman on leave, podcaster Joe Rogan offered to donate $100,000 to a charity of Hotez\u2019s choice if he agreed to debate Kennedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotez \u2014 with the support of several legacy<\/a> news<\/a> media<\/a> outlets<\/a> and the American Medical Association<\/a> \u2014 refused Rogan\u2019s offer. He later claimed on social media<\/a> that a \u201ccouple of anti-vaxers\u201d \u201cstalked\u201d and \u201ctaunted\u201d him outside his home after he declined the offer to debate Kennedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Defender on occasion posts content related to Children\u2019s Health Defense\u2019s nonprofit mission that features Mr. Kennedy\u2019s views on the issues CHD and The Defender regularly cover. In keeping with Federal Election Commission rules, this content does not represent an endorsement of Mr. Kennedy, who is on leave from CHD and is running as an independent for president of the U.S<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
