Footage surfaced of infamous vaccine tyrant Peter Hotez speaking with two women concerned about childhood vaccinations.
The women attempt to have a respectable, rational conversation with Hotez.
However, Hotez responds by calling them “useful idiots” for the anti-vaccine movement.
“We’re not anti-vaccine Mr. Hotez. I respect you for your knowledge. We’re not a hate group and we’re not anti-vaccine,” one woman says to Hotez.
“I don’t have letters behind my name, but I am a mom. I care about my children. We don’t want our children to get sick. We respect the infections for their ability for what they could possibly do,” she continued.
“Then why are you putting kids in harm’s way?” Hotez interrupted.
“We don’t have confidence in the vaccine program for issues that you don’t understand,” she said.
“That’s because of misinformation,” Hotez said.
“You’re functioning as the useful idiots of the anti-vaccine,” he added.
“Why are you calling people names?” the other woman asked.
Hotez claims the women are being duped by anti-vaxxers.
“There’s a small subset of children that you know exist that are prone to vaccine injury. It’s not just a swollen arm or a fever. It’s death. It’s having a child who’s 17-years-old wearing a diaper who will never be married, who will never have children,” she continued.
Hotez dismisses her claims and says the likelihood of serious injury from vaccination is one in 1 million.
He then tells the two women to read his book.
Because the two women explain their concerns about vaccine-related injuries, Hotez says they will deny children the fundamental right to protection against diseases.
The women ask Hotez to address their concerns and he replies by telling them to read his book.
“This is a perfect demonstration for how much abject contempt he has for you. He doesn’t care if you have a vaccine injured child or how much evidence of harm there is from the COVID vaccine or any other vaccine. He just wants you to buy his book filled with pharma propaganda and regurgitate it mindlessly,” X user Inversionism writes about Hotez.
WATCH:
Listen to this mother try to kindly talk to Peter the weasel Hotez about her concerns with the COVID vaccine and her children, and Hotez immediately calls her a useful idiot for the anti-vaccine movement and tells her that she is putting other kids in harms way.

“Dr. Hotez calls this concerned mother a ‘useful idiot’ to her face. This shameful behavior by a pediatrician in the public light should be carefully examined by anyone following the false narrative from the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex,” said Dr. Peter McCullough.

“Calling a Mom of an injured child a useful idiot. Is that normal professional behavior??” Dr. Urso asked.

Peter Hotez sat down with USA Today for an interview and continued to push Big Pharma propaganda to the public.
From USA Today:
Question: You say medical misinformation isn’t just “random junk” but organized disinformation intended to mislead people. Can you explain what you’re seeing and why it’s different now?
Answer: It’s well-financed and it’s politically motivated. It’s a well-formed ecosystem. It’s a killer movement and that’s why it’s important to talk about.
Now it’s state-sanctioned. That’s the game changer. It’s fully enmeshed in American politics. It’s a full-on adopted platform of political extremism.
The scale, the political organization, the state sanctioning and the level of death and destruction, that’s what’s different.
Who benefits? If they’re really killing their supporters, that doesn’t sound like a good long-term strategy.
Ultimately, it’s self-defeating. But in the meantime, it’s become an instrument for political control and oppression.
It’s a rallying call for the base. It’s a way of creating feelings of belonging and part of something bigger.
I don’t care what your extreme beliefs are. That’s your right as an American citizen. But somehow, we have to carve out the anti-science piece of this because it’s killing too many Americans.
As a scientist, you say you are not comfortable being partisan, but clearly, there’s one political party most closely associated with this effort. How do you balance that?
All of our training as scientists says we’re supposed to be politically neutral. I don’t want to talk about it either. But if it means saving lives, we’re backed into a corner and really have to.
People are quick to blame Trump, but it began before him and accelerated more after he left.
Do you think the Biden administration could have responded better?
In April, May 2021, vaccination rates stalled. That’s when they tried to push for mandates, thinking that was a way to jump-start it and that didn’t go well. Then this became a political issue and the defiance started. Then, I just watched in horror as so many Americans especially here in Texas and other red states needlessly died.
If you go to East Texas, everyone you talk to has lost a loved one because they refused a COVID vaccine. That’s where you start really seeing the devastation. That’s a lethal societal force of enormous magnitude. But we don’t explain it that way and that’s where I sometimes get a little frustrated with the Biden administration.
How do you view people who believe this misinformation?
I see these individuals as victims of this far-right aggression.
If my car had broken down because of a flat tire and you gave me the choice to have that flat tire in Palo Alto, California, where Stanford (University) is located, or in East Texas, I’d pick East Texas. In Palo Alto, everybody would drive right by and in East Texas, people would be fighting over who would help you change your tire. These people are amazing people and they were targeted by political forces.
Do you see a way to restore public trust in vaccines?
In the past, there was an inherent auto-correction mechanism. When parents aren’t vaccinating their kids, they see in their community kids hospitalized for measles and that will correct the situation.
This is not auto-correcting after 200,000 Americans needlessly perished.
What you’re seeing instead is those politically motivated members of Congress and governors and presidential candidates are doubling down. Rather than pause for self-reflection, they’re saying no, it wasn’t COVID that killed Americans, it was the vaccine and by the way, the scientists invented the virus.
It’s an attempt to revise history. This is what they do in authoritarian regimes.
I don’t see this getting better at least until after the 2024 presidential election. The craziness just seems to be accelerating.
