Oohhh.... a post of someone else's twitter post. How clever. Whoever posted that is very witty and especially smart.

Good one!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. People seem to 'present' other people's stuff now and want to show how clever they are for finding it. Even the mainstream media has articles every now and then where they are reporting on social media responses to other things.

How low can journalism go? Here is JoeSmith's post of someone else's facebook post of someone else's reply to someone else on twitter?

I love the anti-vac crew who say 'follow the evidence' and then resort to yelling 'Debate me Bro!' at anyone who suggests that maybe their evidence isn't very scientific.

It's only because debates allow them to just use language instead of actual evidence to sway opinion. And opinion is all that matters in a debate, not evidence based on good science.

Let alone debates should be between peers.


Rogan could have invited Dr Hotez on his show to talk about vaccines just like he invited RFK Jr, but instead he went all hostile and sent a public challenge in the only format that anti-vaxxers will accept.

Just ask Steve Kirsch why he hasn't paid Avi his $10K after getting demolished in his debate. Still claims no one will debate him.

I highly recommend Tom Nichols' book, "The Death of Expertise".

Available for free here:

Over 8 and a half hours? That's crazy! I could become an expert on US politics and DIY dentistry in that time.

(It's a good listen so far...)

PCdefender/PMac should listen to it, but I am sure it doesn't merit listening to unless its on rense.com or other weirdo website.

Pcdefender should listen to, or better yet, read the section on conspiracy theories.

Generally scientists and skeptics make poor debaters. They deal in data and evidence. Generally debaters are good at making stuff up on the spot.

' There is/isn't a god. '

Prove me wrong. I will give you $1B if you can prove one way or the other.

Derrrr....

If there were an all-loving powerful creator God we wouldn't need vaccines.
Wow $1B, thanks FN!

For someone who's into evidence, what evidence do you have that Dr Hotez hasn't already been on Rogan? I'd love to see it.

Never said he hadn't been.

That's why he responded to Rogan the way he did, 'you have my deets, contact me directly rather than publicly calling me out to debate one of your guests on matters of science in an unscientific format'

Hotez has been on his show before.

RFK Jr interview was interesting, it would be good if someone could debate him. He says he will happily change his position if someone can prove him wrong. Calling him names doesn't count.

What is his position? Pro-vaccination?
He says that he is, but I haven't come across a quote from him stating which particular vaccines he supports. Could you provide evidence of which vaccines currently on the USA vaccination schedule he supports?

I'm not convinced by his assertion alone.
Especially since his early days of claiming vaccines were unsafe due to Thimerosal, but hasn't really changed his position since Thimerosal has been replaced by other more effective adjuncts.

God told those worthy to take the vaccines.

God told you to get your 5th shot but you're an anti-vaxxer now.

Oh, because he can only be on the JRE once? (3 years ago)

Oh no, on the contrary he is invited back. Even more than $3mil USD would go to charity for his appearance to debate but so far he has declined. What's he worried about? He might lose? Who cares, he's got truth on his side right? Probably $10mil USD by the end of the week. Could donate some to help ok, pyschojoe & Harrow's daughter with their vaccine injuries.

This helps explain why Dr Hotez is reluctant to do a debate.

What makes you say that? I am still considering the next shot as its likely I will catch Covid anyway, so why not pre-empt it?

An 'antivaxxer' is one of those weirdos that come up with strange reasons not to take a vaccine. If someone comes up with a decent reason to not take a vaccine, its fine by me. If they decide not to take a vaccine for no reason, and don't bother telling me, that is also fine. If they want to tell me why I am wrong to take any vaccine and they have references on youtube or worse sites, they are antivaxxers.

I know at least one person that won't take the vaccine, and I can respect that choice. They don't bother to preach to me about it though.

You still haven't sent that $1B back.

How long have you believed that you are god?

Formula nova would you just hurry up and go and get your seventh mrna vaccine so we can all get back to normal sea breeze !

Hey FN that funny thing has happened again. It says 717 replies to this topic but I only count 687.

It could be server cache.

What comes up for you in incognito mode?
