Anti-Vaccine Lobby

[paserbyp]

When you have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Jessica Biel, and Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk, all tag-teaming, those tres hombres at the same time, that probably includes just about every follower on Twitter. So, it’s pretty overwhelming.

Vaccine scientist Peter Hotez found himself swept up in a Twitter tempest this weekend after he posted a Motherboard article about vaccine misinformation on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Rogan himself responded, offering to donate $100,000 to the charity of Hotez’s choosing if he would come on the show and debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic presidential candidate and longtime vaccine skeptic.

Billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Ackman were among the many Twitter users who then tweeted in support of the challenge.

Hotez said he won’t debate science but is willing to come on the show alone. Still, he claimed the online attention caused a pair of anti-vaccine activists to show up at his house.
