Have you been keeping up with this feud?
Because I have and I find it extremely telling. Robert F. Kennedy Jr recently challenged Peter Hotez to a debate on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
The terms and incentives were very fair and even favorable to Hotez, with $1.4 million going to the charity of his choice, no time limit, plus the chance to appear on the world’s most popular podcast. …
Those on Twitter have seen the continued stalling tactics from Hotez, as he continues to relentlessly attack RFK Jr while adamantly denying the idea of a debate. …
This has gone on for nearly a week now. …Hotez has been posting almost around the clock about not debating RFK—which I find hilarious.
This is like a kid talking trash but absolutely refusing to show up at the flagpole at 3 O’clock for the actual fight—actually, this is exactly that.
We all know why Hotez won’t debate RFK; however, his continued antics have put him under a microscope and journalist Kanekoa The Great recently did an exposé on Hotez.
The popular investigative journalist claimed, “Dr. Peter Hotez’s Funding Linked to Controversial Chinese Military Scientists at Wuhan Lab These scientists, funded by Dr. Fauci and Dr. Hotez, worked on coronavirus research with the People’s Liberation Army and Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Kanekoa broke the story:
At the center of this narrative lies Dr. Hotez, a distinguished professor at Baylor College of Medicine, who secured a substantial research grant (R01AI098775) from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) led by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
This grant, amounting to over $1 million per year, supports Dr. Hotez’s project titled “RBD Recombinant Protein-Based SARS Vaccine for Biodefense,” with Dr. Jiang Shibo listed as a Principal Investigator.
Dr. Jiang Shibo, a professor at Fudan University, boasts an impressive academic background.
After completing his Master’s degree from the People’s Liberation Army’s Guangzhou First Military Medical University (广州第一军医大学) and his Medical Doctor degree from Xi’an Fourth Military Medical University (西安第四军医大学微), he pursued postdoctoral training at Rockefeller University in New York from 1987 to 1990.
Redacted asks, “The internet is up in arms, practically begging Dr. Peter Hotez to step into a debate ring with Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr on vaccines. With millions pledged for charity, if it happens, why the silence, Dr. Hotez? Is Biopharma corruption on display again?”

Tucker Carlson called out Hotez on a recent episode of his new show for his refusal to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Other notable scientists have stepped forward to issue debate challenges to Peter Hotez—will he accept? Surely, he won’t be able to use the same excuses to dismiss experienced scientists.
Two qualified scientists, @DrJBhattacharya and @BretWeinstein, are willing to debate @PeterHotez since he won’t talk to @RobertKennedyJr.
I’m happy to host if he’s interested… pic.twitter.com/wCCiSuQ98A

Fox News had more on the not-so controversial debate proposal:
“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,” Rogan tweeted on Saturday.
“Peter. Let’s finally have the respectful,congenial,informative debate that the American people deserve,” Kennedy replied.
However, Hotez says he does not want a “Jerry Springer Show” situation.
