John Leake: “VAX High Priest finds inspiration in a Jesuit priest and scientist…Dr. Peter Hotez is the Pontifex Maximus of the Vaccine Cult, despite his personal presentation always being in shambles. Like many exalted institutional leaders in America today, Dr. Hotez invariably leaves the critical viewer wondering how he became so influential. One thing that Hotez does seem to understand is that facts alone are not sufficient to compel belief in something. For people to believe in a proposition, it must appeal to their emotional yearnings and attachments, and not only to their interest in factual reality.”
