Peter Hotez and I share an unpleasant two-year history. When I was not yet banned on almost all social media platforms, I confronted leading coronists with their own contradictions. After Hotez spoke out in favour of universal vaccination of children, my collar burst, and I dubbed him “Dr Evil.”
His response was as follows:
1. I'm "Dr. Evil" because I worry about adolescents getting sick, hospitalized, or long haul COVID: Latest numbers from JAMA https://t.co/KWMLj4VEuT 2. "regularly receives lots of money from gates"? We have not been funded by them for many years, but why would this be a problem? https://t.co/teo3Zb9B62

His comrades-in-arms and fellow believers were also quick to speak out and even accused me of anti-Semitism – a typical cyber-bully behaviour. Peter Hotez and his friends around Yamey eventually called on their followers to report me en masse, which ultimately led to the deletion of my account.
