Rogan, Musk, and RFK Jr. vs. Hotez
- Joe Rogan and Elon Musk criticized Dr. Peter Hotez for refusing to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vaccines.
- RFK Jr. challenged Hotez to a debate on Rogan's show after Hotez criticized RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine stance.
The Mask of Authority

- This has become problematic, especially as the scientific establishment has been incorrect on several issues.
Undebated Claims Win

- If claims are not refuted, they gain traction, especially given RFK Jr.'s platform on Rogan's show.
