As I said on Igor's post about his head-smacking myopia, this Upton Sinclair quote never fails me—indeed, I nominate it as the quintessential quote for all things COVID:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

His daughter is autistic. To even entertain the possibility that he was instrumental in causing his daughter's condition is too much for most parents to bear.

He knows. But like so many in this world Hotez the Terrible is addicted to secrets and lies. As long as he holds to his pro vaxx stance, he can just blank out any guilt about his daughter and the many millions who are injured by all the jabs. You are seeing this same response from doctors, government health authorities, politicians and everyone else responsible who refuses to acknowledge their folly and the price we are all paying for it.

It's a tough call to say he knows. There's something called cognitive dissonance in which people like Hotez block things out. Part of it is hubris--the syndrome in which they con themselves into believing that we're the experts and we can't possibly be wrong.

I've been reading up on all these conventions in medicine. Seems like the HO was pretty much amended, if not abandoned a while ago. They drew up a whole new set of codes and standards.

Sounds like what happened to that other document. . . what was it called. . . the constitution?

We're good at putting shit down on paper but holding us to those words is another matter.

Your words made me think of the current divorce rate. The marriage vows should read "to love and to cherish 'till death do us part OR until we get really annoyed and decide to stop being nice to each other and go on to seek greener pastures. " I think that has a real ring to it.

He's caught some Arcturian backrays in his'scope. That's why he's lookkng so excited there.

He reminds me so much of brown nosing teachers’ pets who smile when you’re facing them but won’t hesitate to stab you in the back if you turn away. He’ll do anything to gain some recognition and more importantly some extra $$ from his masters in the Pharma/censorship complex who will gladly throw him under the bus when the time warrants it.

If you wanted a picture of what madness looks like, pure lunacy, look at Hotez, his eyes and overall presence, then read what he stands for.

He is a perfect example of inmates running the asylum.

Good one

So sad, my family relies on wiki for their serious updates….I’m amazed that we have all so separated, like oil and water on opinions, judgments, truth and lies, experience and intellectual curiosity, in these last many months… and some will never meet the truth maybe not until the end…and then even too proud to say it….humans……..

Yes, and were worried that if I choose unvac’d they would be paying for my hospital $$. But I hadn’t even had a cold in 15 years….myself somewhat irreverent to RXs~~~shocking and stunning that well educated peepul have no intellectual curiosity, who let the govt lead them by the nose, censor to the extent they dismiss the real tragic truths. I am poised to hear bad news one day….

Yes, what’s really interesting is that because of the Covid scamdemic, millions of people have gotten interested in the vaccine issue and we really have to hand it to people like Del big tree and Mark Crispin Miller for teaching us about propaganda and RFK junior and Dr. McCullough and others.

Me too....I watch reruns of "The Office", and think about how a show like that would never fly today...but Oh, how I laugh, and appreciate how it makes my body feel, and my mind. :-) It sounds like your daughter is similar to my two adult children ( both in mid-twenties) ...they are also on the lookout for what have become "rare birds"..un-jabbed, whip smart, independent, empathetic, and the list goes on....it will not be easy, but maybe we should put our heads together and think of how to help them. I'm all for ideas! They are coming home to Switzerland soon for Christmas, and they are both quite disillusioned with life and study in NYC...I don't blame them...Not that Switzerland is really home to me but Canada has not been an option for decades...my home country. We have been here for 15 years, but I am also so angry at our government for toeing the false narrative, and harming so many. Was any country blameless?

“Dr” Hotez unquestionably deserves entry into the pantheon of Covid 1984’s dirty dozen. No mean feat considering the sheer number of eligible candidates. His pathetic use of props to add credibility to his craven demeanor serves only to reveal a character lacking in any moral compass. The business of malicious medical fraud has paid off handsomely for the good Doctor and one can only hope that mold he’s made from is permanently broken.

As Igor said, it must be "climate change or the stress his friends experienced from seeing vaccine misinformation online." LOL. Perhaps it is moral turpitude.

yup. one can die after reading misinformation online.

This is the difference between FrankFauci and Hotez, who's a deeply mentally ill man. For the most part, of course, the Venn Diagram overlaps.

The medical industry supporters are willfully "blind" -- "there are none so blind as those who will not see." They are dangerous. More and more people on social media sites are commenting that they are staying away from doctors and hospitals because they believe the medical industry no longer cares about anyone's health. They care about the money from Big Pharma and the insurance companies (those who pay doctors a "bonus" for the percentage of patients they can talk into taking the toxic shot) which I recently found out about. They are all criminals!

Staying away is likely life saving, though it's good to remember all their previous advice and do exactly the opposite. One of the very best things anyone can do is give their bodies (cells) what they expect:

Hardly any seem to be figuring it out, or if they are, they are not saying. In this country it is primarily because of the associations that license them and the government that pays them, I guess.

I think that these reader remarks and their wisdoms, over these last few years, should be printed out, enlarged on wallpaper, maybe and applied along hospital corridors~~~that hospital green color, for all to read… doctors rushing past, ambulance personnel, late night cleaning employees, finally seeing the truth….all the facts they were prevented from knowing….”ohhhhh, is that what they were trying to say!” Our media, what a joke…..

Fab idea....I was also thinking about how to encapsulate all of the wise words so many have imparted here...and all over Substack...they made us all howl with laughter when all we wanted to do was scream or cry. I have endless gratitude. Bless you all.

Indeed! Lovely! in months ahead would love to see some book really!! printed by some of these brave folks~~~maybe not including names of the guilty contributors, lest harassment be visited upon them~~~but these thoughts and wisdoms would remind us what the great lockdown really taught us…..what losses, the children’s insecurities, and nightmares and gender! innocence~~~.I remember s couple of years ago I heard related that a mother tried to straighten her 6 yr old daughter’s mask, and she burst into tears, “No mommy, I could die from the air!!” Someone, or ones, should be…..I won’t suggest it here but you all can think of it, make it creative, I have no doubt.

Apparently Dr. Hotez is incapable of adding two and two and coming up with four. This isn’t a good look for the medical profession.

For them 2 and 2 equals 5.

It's funny that they don't even have a good script to go by.

You would think if you were covering for the shots, you wouldn't bring up something caused by the shots...

I agree but sometimes it sneaks up on me that the ostentative way how he (and his buddies ) pretends not to have any clue may mean he's trying to provoke the opposite namely to point with the finger without pointing with the finger? Does that sound plausible? Maybe it's my constant hope and search for a ray of light in this madness...

He is, but is sort of a semi psychopath.

Brain damage perhaps destroyed his empathy.

Semi? I would say he is a radical or extreme psychopath...posing as someone who cares...very dangerous indeed! Just a thought, but I think he realises that he is responsible for the harm done to his daughter, and so, everything else he does, regardless how unsafe or dangerous it is, pales in comparison..he simply doesn't care anymore.
