Here's why Hotez - a vaccine expert - will never debate in a public forum
Have you listened to Robert F. Kennedy on Rogan yet?
As interesting and fun as that was, it was nothing compared to the firestorm that took over Twitter in following days.
Rogan offered Dr. Peter Hotez $100,000 to debate Kennedy about vaccines in his show.
The charity pot soon shot up to $600,000. Incredible.
The charity pot soon exceeded 2 million. Of course Dr. Hotez declined.
His reason? Take a look here.
We’ve reached the time in history where experts don’t believe science can be debated. This is insanity.
“In science, we do not typically do debates" is ludicrous and antithetical to the principles of science and human prosperity. Science is built on the foundation of questioning, challenging, and critically examining ideas and theories.
This was Dr. Hotez’s answer.
Let’s think about this for a minute. Dr. Hotez, who believes that vaccine misinformation contributes to thousands of deaths, turned down an opportunity to correct the misinformation and save lives - all while leaving over $2 million on the table for charity. So what does it say that Dr. Hotez passed up this opportunity?
Why would a vaccine expert avoid a debate? Let’s play hypnotist.
Hotez’s beliefs do not align with his subconscious.
The ability to recognize this situation is limited to hypnotists or those familiar with hypnosis. Our actions - or lack thereof - often stems from our subconscious mind, encompassing thoughts, beliefs, and programming we are not aware of.
Dr. Hotez appears confident in his convictions, but avoiding their defense raises doubts. It suggests that he lacks genuine belief in what he claims to believe. His refusal to engage in public discussions on vaccine safety and efficacy serves as a protective mechanism.
He says vaccines do not cause autism. But his actions, or lack thereof, in this situation scream he doesn’t what he says he believes. He just might not know it.
Hotez is humiliated and fears further humiliation.
Dr. Hotez may fear that engaging in a public debate could expose his inadequacies or further damage his reputation. If he lacked strong reasons as to why and how he knows vaccines do not cause autism, he might avoid public debate as he fears being disproven and humiliated in a public setting.
Hotez doesn’t have good reasons.
A man who is strong in his convictions has facts, reasons, and logic to back it up. Whatever information and “science” Hotez uses to back the claim that vaccines don’t cause austism, they obviously aren’t strong enough for him to be confident enough to bring them to the public.
Liberals never bring their argument to a public forum.
Liberals avoid public forums because their beliefs are not grounded in facts, logic, or science. Instead, their beliefs stem from ideology and feelings, which cannot withstand scrutiny against well-informed alternatives. Feelings are incompatible with ideology and science.
RFK and vaccine skeptics eagerly seek a public vaccine-autism debate, while vaccine advocates actively avoid it. This is significant.
If the vaccine advocates do possess strong scientific arguments, why don’t they share them?
Instead of presenting reasons, facts, or science, they resort to attacking and undermining the opposing narrative.
People do this when they don’t have reasons.
