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.
