Dear Dr. Hotez;
If you find yourself in need of a non-toxic work environment and lots of enthusiastic support from both your bosses and the general public, please consider moving to Canada. We've got some terrific people here at the Sick Kid's Hospital who'd be thrilled to have you join them.

I admire Hotez and I thank him for so many things. Really a treasure. But I must say that when I heard him interviewed on CBC radio a few months ago, as I remember, I found his tone to be condescending. Not as I've seen him on the US networks. I didn't think that was necessarily appropriate.

the vaccine is the weakest tool in the toolbox. if it were good, there would be no reinfections occurring every 3-6 months. air filtration and ventilation as well as normalizing respirators is a better solution. when people were wearing respirators and masks, the population

did not experience neither the frequency, nor the severity of respiratory distress it has been experiencing ever since these measures were abandoned.

trayse.bsky.social•15 hours ago
