Anti-science conspiracies pose new threats to US biomedicine in 2023

Peter Hotez

First published: 02 May 2023

 

Prof Peter Hotez is a co-inventor of a COVID-19 recombinant protein vaccine technology owned by Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) that was recently licensed by BCM non-exclusively and with no patent restrictions to several companies committed to advance vaccines for low- and middle-income countries. The co-inventors have no involvement in license negotiations conducted by BCM. Similar to other research universities, a long-standing BCM policy provides its faculty and staff, who make discoveries that result in a commercial license, a share of any royalty income, according to BCM policy. Prof. Hotez is also the author of several books published by Johns Hopkins University Press and ASM-Wiley Press and receives royalties from those books.

BREAKING: Respected scientists announce a mass exodus from Twitter after Republican billionaire Elon Musk joins an anti-vax pile-on against vaccine researcher Peter Hotez, claiming that "he's afraid of public debate because he knows he's wrong."

It all started when infamous podcaster Joe Rogan publicly challenged Hotez to a debate on vaccines. Hotez demurred but the situation quickly spiraled out of control as MAGA lunatics attacked and smeared him.

The saga culminated in far-right freaks approaching Hotez to harass him at his house, demonstrating how terrifyingly quickly Twitter encounters can turn into real life dangers.

During the flood of attacks and smears against Hotez, the alway-desperate-for-attention Musk jumped in and absurdly insisted that the researcher was "afraid of public debate" and "wrong."

Of course, Hotez is neither of those things. He said that he would go on Rogan's show but would not debate RFK Jr.. He simply knows that debating conspiracy theorists does nothing but strengthen and embolden them.

In response to the shameful incident, Michael Mina, the chief science officer at eMed and immunologist, stated that Twitter is "no longer a tool that's accelerating science. On the contrary." He is an avid Twitter user but says that he will likely leave in the next few months due to the platform's deterioration.

Mina said that Twitter is now "another big noisy mess."

Numerous other scientists and medical researchers have also told Axios that they are finding Twitter less useful by the day and find it all very "scary." The rise of anti-vax rhetoric is convincing more and more of them to finally jump ship.

At this rate, soon the only people left on Twitter will be anti-science maniacs.

RT and ❤️ if you think social media should be pro-science — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.4 million raised from 3,600 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, http://wefunder.com/Tribel. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: http://tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

Today's propaganda.

Dr. Hotez and other COVID vaccine maximalists should be treated similarly to doctors that experimented on Jews during the Holocaust.

They didn't have a choice to say "no", and in many cases, neither did US citizens.

Treat them like the criminals they are.

>“Heavy artillery was firing upon us. The tank was also targeting us, I took a grenade launcher and began to go around from the flank, to identify the armored vehicles that were firing on us. I fired. There was smoke. Only after I came to the hospital did I find out that it was a German Leopard,” he said.

Navy, TRANSCOM Supporting Search for Submersible Missing After Dive to Titanic Wreck - USNI News

Navy, TRANSCOM Supporting Search for Submersible Missing After Dive to Titanic Wreck

The Navy and U.S. Transportation Command are sending salvage equipment to help find a submersible that went missing while trying to travel to the wreck of RMS Titanic, the Coast Guard announced Tuesday.

The U.S. Coast Guard set up a unified command Monday that brings together the U.S. and Canadian coast guards, the U.S. Navy and the Canadian armed forces to coordinate rescue efforts. The unified command is working with the U.S. Navy and TRANSCOM to determine which naval assets to send, Capt. Jamie Frederick said during a First Coast Guard District news conference Monday.

“This is a complex search effort, which requires the use of subject matter expertise and specialized equipment,” Frederick said. “While the U.S. Coast Guard has assumed the role of search and rescue mission coordinator, we do not have all of the necessary expertise and equipment required in a search of this nature. The unified command brings that expertise and additional capability together to maximize effort in solving this very complex problem.”

The Navy is sending a Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System, as well as subject matter experts, the sea service said in a Tuesday afternoon statement.

The Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System is a “motion compensated lift system designed to provide reliable deep ocean lifting capacity for the recovery of large, bulky, and heavy undersea objects such as aircraft or small vessels,” according to the statement.

The Navy previously used the salvage system to recover an F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter that crashed into the South China Sea after a ramp strike on USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), USNI News previously reported. The Navy was able to recover the aircraft from 12,400 feet.

Both the salvage system and subject experts are expected to arrive at St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, tonight.

Canadian Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft have been part of the surface search. RCAF C-140 Aurora anti-submarine warfare aircraft have dropped sonobuoys in an effort to search below the surface for Titan and the five aboard.

MV Deep Energy, a 194-meter pipe laying vessel that has remotely operated vehicle capabilities, arrived Tuesday to help with the search, Frederick said. The vessel started an ROV dive with operations ongoing.

The Titan submersible, operated and built by company OceanGate Exploration, departed Friday from St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada aboard former Canadian Coast Guard ice breaker MV Polar Prince. On Sunday, Titan attempted to reach the wreck in the late afternoon and was reported missing about an hour and 45 minutes into the dive by the team aboard Polar Prince.

The crew included a pilot with OceanGate and four passengers the company refers to as “mission specialists,” who paid a $250,000 fee to descend on Titan to survey the wreck as part of an eight-day expedition.

It’s not clear how much air is left in the submersible, Frederick said, but the estimate is about 40 hours.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a threat to your health — and our democracy

Back in the dawn of the Trump era — just prior to his 2017 inauguration — the line of would-be suck-ups queuing up for face time with the president-elect included a man with a distinguished name.

He was Robert F. Kennedy Jr., scion of one of the leading families of Democratic Party politics. What brought him together with Trump was their shared interest in the anti-vaccination movement.

At least Kennedy, who had been an anti-vaccine crusader for well more than a decade and was pushing a long-discredited claim that the MMR vaccine caused autism, thought so. He announced upon emerging from the meeting that Trump had asked him to chair a commission “on vaccine safety and scientific integrity.”
