Dr. Peter Hotez worried that COVID-19 infections could rise after the massive box office success over the weekend by “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.”<\/a><\/p>\n

The virologist commented on the remarkable success of the two films ushering in the largest movie-going crowds since 2019 with “Avengers: Endgame.” Although this was considered great news for the entertainment industry, Hotez cautioned that the large numbers could produce a coronavirus “bump.”<\/p>\n

“Not to be a Debbie Downer\u2026but anyone worried about a post-BarbieBoxOffice Covid bump? Or post-Oppie? We\u2019ll probably never know since no one seems to be keeping track of such things anymore. Keep up with your boosters and find a pink N-95 or KN-95 if you can,” Hotez tweeted on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Hotez frequently served<\/a> as the go-to medical expert during the pandemic for mainstream media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC. He has since faced intense criticism for pushing controversial COVID-19 mitigation techniques such as masking children and discouraging in-person learning for schools.<\/p>\n

His tweet reiterating the need for masking reignited attacks against him on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“The media’s favorite medical expert. Well done, team,” The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller joked.<\/p>\n

Texas State Rep. Jeff Leach wrote, “No. No normal, rational person is worried about this. It must be really sad to constantly live in such a warped state of fear.”<\/p>\n

“I am not worried about that, no, because it\u2019s not 2020,” The Bulwark culture editor Sonny Bunch tweeted.<\/p>\n

Washington Examiner columnist Tim Carney remarked, “They\u2019re still at it. There\u2019s no limiting principle to their fear-peddling anti-social dogma.”<\/p>\n

“People like this should have never had a role in setting public policy, much less be put in charge of it,” conservative personality AGHamilton commented.<\/p>\n

“The only thing you’re worried about is going away,” Substack writer Jim Treacher remarked.<\/p>\n

JOE ROGAN, ELON MUSK CHALLENGE SCIENTIST TO DEBATE ROBERT KENNEDY JR. ON VACCINES, SETTING OFF FIRESTORM<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In June, Twitter CEO Elon Musk and podcast host Joe Rogan pushed for Hotez to debate<\/a> Democratic candidate and noted vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., over the efficacy of vaccines. For his part, Rogan offered $100,000 to the charity of Hotez\u2019s choice if he would appear with Kennedy on his podcast.<\/p>\n

Hotze agreed to appear on Rogan\u2019s podcast but refused to debate Kennedy. He later explained his response to MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have a new book coming out that basically says 200,000 Americans needlessly perished, because they believed the anti-vaccine disinformation and refused to take a COVID vaccine during our Delta wave and BA.1 Omicron wave in 2021-22 after vaccines were widely available,” Hotez, who has also appeared on Fox News, said to Hasan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So the point is anti-vaccine disinformation, it\u2019s always done a lot of damage and harm, but now it\u2019s a lethal force in the United States, and that\u2019s why we have to have that discussion. And I offered to come and go on Joe Rogan again,” he added. “I\u2019ve been on a couple of times and have that discussion with it, but not to turn it into the Jerry Springer Show with having RFK Jr on.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
