Covid Booster Good Cause To Promote Dr. Peter Hotez Book

11/18/2023

The Houston Democracy Project had a witty and insightful blog post in mind today, but a Covid booster yesterday left me at less than full speed today.

I do have energy though to make mention of the new book by Houston tropical disease Doctor Peter Hotez from the Baylor College of Medicine.

The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science--A Scientist's Warning, deals with issues of democracy and authoritarianism in the context of lies about the effectiveness of vaccines. Dr. Hotez is a strong spokesperson for science and democracy.

It is a bummer we are back fighting issues of free elections and use of vaccines that seemed sort of settled. But here we are. We'll stay the course.

I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy.

I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later on Egberto's YouTube channel.
