The most intriguing story of the last few days was Joe Rogan’s invitation to Dr. Peter Hotez to debate vaccine issues with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on Rogan’s podcast. Rogan offered to donate $100,000 to the charity of Hotez’ choice. Rogan’s appeal was picked up by Elon Musk and Bill Ackman who each offered Hotez hundreds of thousands more for charity. So far, Hotez has declined the offer claiming that he does not want to be involved in a “Jerry Springer” type of show.
All of RFK, Jr.’s interviews since he announced his candidacy have been civil, courteous discussions, even when interview hosts have been rude to him. Kennedy’s thoughtfulness and breadth of knowledge of complicated issues seems to account for his having higher favorability than Biden or Trump. Robert F.

Hotez later tweeted “I’m quite concerned about the Elon-Tucker link, then fold in Rogan and RFK Jr and it becomes a pretty formidable coalition with neofascist leanings.” Joe Rogan on Twitter: "Are you sure I’m not a part of a coalition with neofascist leanings? Seems like that’s what you really think, or what you’re projecting to the masses. https://t.co/2fzZax57aR" / Twitter
Censorship of Kennedy’s campaign continues. The usual claim is that RFK, Jr. has spread “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories” such as the Wuhan Lab being the origin of the Covid pandemic – a story which, based on the most recent evidence, is almost certainly true.

Will The Wuhan Coverup receive the same mainstream media censorship that RFK, Jr’s The Real Anthony Fauci received?
