It’s clear that Dr. Peter Hotez, a so-called “vaccine scientist,” is trying to instill fear and panic as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. During an interview with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, Hotez issued an ominous warning about diseases supposedly set to spread starting January 21, Trump’s first full day in office. This fearmongering comes as no surprise from someone who has consistently attacked those questioning the COVID vaccines.
Hotez’s comments were made while discussing the potential confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). He warned of diseases like H5N1 spreading through wild birds and potentially affecting humans, despite there being no human-to-human transmission yet. This kind of alarmism is typical from those who wish to undermine the incoming administration.

“We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21. Mr. (Mike) Bloomberg mentioned H5N1 that I’m really worried about,” Hotez said. “It’s all over wild birds on the western part of the United States and going up in the north. It’s getting into the poultry, we’re seeing sporadic human cases, no human-to-human transmission yet, but that could happen. It’s in the cattle, it’s in the milk. And that’s just the beginning.
He continued, “We have another major coronavirus likely brewing in Asia; we’ve had Sars in 2002, Sars2, COVID-19 in 2019. And we know these viruses are jumping from bats to people thousands of times a year.”
“But there’s still more; we know that we have a big problem with mosquito-transmitted viruses all along the Gulf Coast. Where I am here in Texas, we’re expecting dengue and possibly Zika virus coming back or Oro Pouche virus, maybe even yellow fever, and there’s more. Then we have this sharp rise in vaccine-preventable diseases going up because, in part, the anti-vaccine activists,” Hotez declared.

He continued his fearmongering by suggesting these outbreaks might start on January 21 under Trump’s leadership. “All that’s gonna come crashing down on January 21st on the Trump administration. We need a really, really good team to be able to handle this,” Hotez said.
Cardiologist and leading COVID establishment critic Dr. Peter McCullough responded to Hotez’s bizarre remarks during an appearance on Live from Studio 6B on Real America’s Voice, accusing Hotez and “vaccine lobbyists” of pushing an “agenda of fear.”
“To lay it down and say it’s all gonna happen the day Trump takes office, you can tell what the agenda here is. There’s an agenda of fear being pushed by the vaccine lobbyists to constantly keep Americans in fear about the next viral threat so they can hold power and because they know in their minds that the only thing they’ll offer is more vaccines,” McCullough said.
