Hotez in 2020 was one of those who thought antilockdown protests were bad and antiracism protests were good. In this he accompanies Topol, who urged the pharmaceuticals to stop-the-count so as to deny Trump a preëlection W; and the pharmaceutical companies themselves.
Hotez figures that we shouldn't debate Kennedy, as Kennedy is a politician not arguing in good faith. This is, itself, arguable, as Ryan Grim notes with some irony. What is unarguably true is that Hotez and Topol are political activists first, medical activists never. Hotez doesn't even allow responses in his own Twitter.
There's no value in debating Hotez (or Topol), but we can assuredly remind ourselves why not.
