Last night a physician famous for fighting “misinformation” called me a liar to half a million people. Then turned off comments so I couldn’t post my source.

Earlier this week, I published a piece questioning why certain prominent scientists refuse to debate their work and instead choose friendly media interviews. I named names. I called the behavior weak. Because it is.

One of those names was Peter Hotez.

He didn’t like that.

His response was a quote tweet to his 400,000+ followers claiming “No one told me” about a $2 million charity offer to debate on Joe Rogan.
