(LifeSiteNews) — Popular podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan challenged “vaccine scientist” Dr. Peter Hotez to debate presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. on the efficacy of Covid vaccines.
After Hotez accused RFK Jr. and Rogan of spreading “vaccine misinformation,” Rogan invited Hotez to debate RFK on his show and offered to donate $100,000 to the charity of Hotez’s choice.
“Peter, if you claim what RFKjr is saying is “misinformation” I am offering you $100,000.00 to the charity of your choice if you’re willing to debate him on my show with no time limit,” the podcast host wrote on Twitter.
A wild sequence of tweets by various individuals, including billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban and infamous online influencer Andrew Tate, followed.
RFK Jr. accepted Rogan’s offer, “Let’s finally have the respectful, congenial, informative debate that the American people deserve,” he wrote.
Then, several well-known people offered large sums of money to the “Peter Hotez vs. RFK Jr Charity Debate Pot,” including Tate and podcast host Tim Pool, bringing the total offered to over $1.52 million, according to the Twitter account “Chief Nerd.”
Hotez responded to Rogan’s invitation by saying that “Joe, you have my cell, my email, I’m always willing to speak with you,” leaving open whether or not he would debate RFK Jr.
The WHO Pandemic Treaty looks set to be one of the biggest power-grabs in living memory, with unelected globalists seeking the power to declare pandemics, and then control your country’s response.
But it’s not too late to do something about it.
SIGN and SHARE this special petition telling Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the WHO will never usurp your nation’s sovereignty.
The past two years have been rife with infringements on personal liberties and civil rights by national governments, but now the World Health Organization is seeking to appropriate those same abusive powers to itself at a global level.
194 member states representing 99% of the world’s population are expected to sign pandemic treaties with the WHO that would allow Tedros, or any future Director General, to dictate exactly how your nation would respond to a new disease outbreak which they consider a pandemic.
This attack on national sovereignty will come as no surprise to those who for years have listened to elites like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates discussing their vision for the centralization of power into globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF), the WHO and the rest of the United Nations.
SIGN this petition against the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty, before it’s too late.
Ludicrously, 20 world leaders calling for the treaty, including Tedros, Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron, compared the post-Covid world to the post-WWII period, saying similar co-operation is now needed to “dispel the temptations of isolationism and nationalism, and to address the challenges that could only be achieved together in the spirit of solidarity and co-operation – namely peace, prosperity, health and security.”
Australian PM Scott Morrison is the latest leader to express support for a “pandemic treaty”.
The stated intention of the WHO is to “kickstart a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”
The wheels are already in motion, with the Biden administration officially proposing the initial steps towards handing global pandemic control to the WHO.
Biden’s representatives have submitted amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR), which would give the Director General the right to declare health emergencies in any nation, even when disputed by the country in question.
These amendments, which would be legally binding under international law, will be voted on by the World Health Assembly (the governing body of the WHO) at a special convention running from May 22-28 and set the stage for a fully-fledged pandemic treaty to be passed.
SIGN and SHARE the petition telling the WHO that you won’t accept any pandemic treaty
The ball has been rolling since the last World Health Assembly meeting in December, where the United States launched negotiations “on a new international health instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response,” a U.S. statement read.
“This momentous step represents our collective responsibility to work together to advance health security and to make the global health system stronger and more responsive.
“We look forward to broad and deep negotiations using a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach that will strengthen the international legal framework for public health/pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response and enable us to address issues of equity, accountability, and multisectoral collaboration evident in the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We know it will take all of us working together across governments, private sector, philanthropy, academia, and civil society to make rapid progress towards a long-term solution for these complex problems,” the U.S. statement added.
SIGN the petition today to show the WHO that you won’t accept this attack on national sovereignty.
These are precarious times in which freedom and self-determination must be defended from those who would ride rough-shod over your civil rights.
We do not want to go back to global lockdowns, vaccine mandates and propoganda.
Sign the petition – speak up now!

“This is a non answer,” Rogan replied. “I challenged you publicly because you publicly quote tweeted and agreed with that dogshit Vice article. If you’re really serious about what you stand for, you now have a massive opportunity for a debate that will reach the largest audience a discussion like this has ever had. If you think someone else is better qualified, suggest that person.”
At this point, Musk chimed in, saying Hotez is “afraid of a public debate, because he knows he’s wrong.”
Hotez responded to Rogan and claimed that 200,000 Americans died because they refused the experimental Covid injections.
“Joe if you are serious about addressing vaccines + the fact that 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly perished during our awful delta/BA.1 Covid waves (including 40,000 in our state of Texas) because they fell victims to vaccine disinformation: I want to have that discussion,” Hotez wrote.
Rogan responded by urging Hotez to give an answer to his invitation to debate RFK. “Again, I’m going to ask you very clearly, are you willing to debate @RobertKennedyJr on my podcast?” the podcaster wrote.
Rogan then called out Hotez for an older tweet in which the medical doctor called Rogan, RFK Jr., Musk, and Tucker Carlson “a pretty formidable coalition with neofascist leanings.”

While many well-known personalities slammed Hotez on Twitter for his refusal to debate “anti-vaxxers,” like RFK, billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban jumped to Hotez’s defense.
He accused Rogan, Musk, and RFK Jr. of bullying Hotez and said “Dr Hotez works every day to try to find ways to help people.”
Dr. Hotez’ history of propaganda
Hotez has a history of maligning his critics and skeptics of vaccines by calling them “anti-science,” anti-Semitic, and even likening them to terrorists.
In 2022, he starred in a propaganda video produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in which he linked people who refused the Covid injection to the “far right” and accused them of being a “major killing force.”

Hotez appears to be close to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as he has described him as “my brother and mentor Dr. Tedros,” in a tweet responding to the murder of the WHO director’s uncle. Ghebreyesus was a member of Ethiopia’s communist Tigray People’s Liberation Front and served as its Minister of Health when it was in power. The party was declared a terrorist organization by the Ethiopian government in 2021.
During a previous appearance on Rogan’s show, Hotez called for the censorship of books and documentaries on Amazon that question vaccines, allegedly “because it’s harming children.”
Furthermore, in May 2021, Hotez advocated for children to get the Covid shot to achieve “herd immunity,” even though this age group faces minimal risk from Covid and it has been evident that the Covid shots do not stop transmission of the virus, while they have been shown to have very serious side effects.
