Meet Dr. Peter Hotez, darling boy of the pandemic:

Hotez openly pushed aggressive vaccine regimens and was a leading voice on national media throughout the pandemic that justified mandates. Other experts such as Dr. Robert Malone have also pointed out his ties to the gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, which might explain why he called lab-leak theorists conspiracy nuts for years on end.

If you need to see how wrong this man was in stumping for the vax, here's a fun video with highlights:

Hotez was big enough to get other doctors like Peter A. McCullough, a cardiologist who served as the vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, banned from polite society with the wave of his hand. He was then given primetime spots on MSNBC to explain the Narrative™. He stumped HARD for mandates.

Joe Rogan invited Hotez on his show in 2020 where Rogan grilled him on vaccines.

This brings us to the weekend, when Rogan challenged Hotez to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the issue of vaccines after Hotez called Rogan's interview with RFKJ "absurd." He offered Hotex $100,000 to debate RFKJ!

Hotez dismissed the offer, saying he wanted $50 million instead. 🙄

Rogan called the potential debate a "massive opportunity" that "will reach the largest audience a discussion like this has ever had."

But then, just to add chaos into the mix, Dallas Mavericks owner and "Shark Tank" billionaire Mark Cuban stepped into the fight with this harebrained take:

Other social commentators like Tim Pool have upped the ante, combining offers to promise more than a million dollars to charity on behalf of Hotez if he'll simply man up and debate RFKJ.

Instead, the doc ran to MSNBC and cried about the terrorists who want the free exchange of ideas in scientific debate!

Why did he run to the regime media instead of a debate that would give him the chance to change the minds of tens of millions of Rogan's listeners? Elon Musk has thoughts:
