Vaccine expert says anti-vaxxers ‘stalked’ him after Joe Rogan pressed him to debate RFK Jr.

A vaccine scientist said he was “stalked” after podcast host Joe Rogan called for him to debate Democratic presidential candidate and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Ugh I just was stalked in front of my home by a couple of antivaxers taunting me to debate RFKJr. … What is it with people?” Peter Hotez, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, wrote on Twitter Sunday. 

Hotez had shared a Vice article on vaccine misinformation in a conversation between Rogan and Kennedy on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” writing that “from all the online attacks I’m receiving after this absurd podcast, it’s clear many actually believe this nonsense.”
