Peter Hotez
[2017 Feb] Dr. Dr. Peter Hotez asked me for an apology and a retraction about
his vaccine profits BY J.B. HANDLEY Dr. Hotez has million$ of reasons
to support vaccines — I’m not sure I have ever seen a biography that was so
vaccine-dependent. Amongst his many titles and affiliations, Dr. Hotez is the
President of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, Director of the Texas Children’s
Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, and his research at the Baylor College
of Medicine focuses on “developing vaccines for neglected tropical diseases.”
What his biography doesn’t say is that if any of the vaccines he is developing
go to market, he would likely make many millions of dollars......“Hotez is a
hypocrite and a liar. He holds 3 U.S. patents on hookworm vaccine and will make
millions once it gets out of clinical trials (currently in South
America).”........
I don’t doubt for a second that Dr. Hotez’s daughter’s autism
was genetic (as he has asserted). This is what he believes, and I respect
that — I have no doubt some kids were just “born that way.” However, my son’s
experience was very different. My wife and I — both Stanford grads — took our
son’s decline very, very seriously, and we have met with hundreds of doctors,
scientists, and parents who helped us understand what happened to him. Dr. Hotez,
when you slam the door on the reality of what happened to my son, you disrespect
HIM, and I will never, ever ever tolerate that. He can’t talk, but I can. Your
stubborn ignorance is hurting children and falsely reassuring parents.
Dr. Peter Hotez, latest vaccine pitchman, clueless on vaccine-autism science
Many years ago, I happened upon an internal CDC presentation, that explained the CDC’s point of view about generating demand for vaccines which goes something like this:
If people aren’t scared to death, they won’t get their
vaccines. We need to manufacture “concern, anxiety, and worry” to win this
battle.
Don’t believe me? Think I’m exaggerating? Well, luckily I
have that slide from CDC, you can read it for yourself. Glen Nowak, Director of
Communications for CDC said the following to a group of public health officials:
“The belief that you can inform and warn people, and get them to take appropriate actions or precautions with respect to a health threat or risk without actually making them anxious or concerned. This is not possible…This is like breaking up with your boyfriend without hurting his feelings. It can’t be done.”
