Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD @PeterHotez
According to his biographer, Stanley Wolpert, Gandhi suffered from hookworm and other maladies. Now our @TexasChildrens
laboratories have developed the first human hookworm vaccine showing protective immunity, we’re looking into developing it in India

Hookworm infections in humans can last for several years, and re-infection can occur very shortly after treatment, suggesting that hookworms effectively evade—and may interrupt or modulate—the host immune system.[1] Successful hookworm vaccines have been developed for several animal species.[1] On the basis of prior work, human vaccine development has targeted antigens from both the larval and adult stages of the hookworm life cycle; a combined vaccine for humans that would provide more complete protection.[1] Current targets of larval proteins attenuate larval migration through host tissue; targets of adult proteins have been demonstrated to block enzymes vital to hookworm feeding.[SNIP.
Fantastic. Lotsa kids get this and it can screw you up.

He was a parrot and megaphone for Fauci and the Covid Industrial Complex who in retrospect were wrong about a lot of things. I don't recall ever thinking Hotez brought anything particularly enlightening to the dialogue. Since he is in Houston, I likely was exposed to more of his BS than those who only saw him on national news.

I was in the Philippines and paid attention to the Asian view - Singapore, Japan. The only thing I noted they had a bog difference om was masking. Western medicine had a strong belief that a strong transmission came from hand to mouth-nose, less on airborne - the Asians were the opposite, and they also have a masking culture. Masks are considered courteous and, face it, many Americans are discourteous by Asian standards. In fact I read at least one article about how Americans were crazily resistant to any public request to alter behavior for Ccvid.
The big person who was dead wrong about Covid was Trump. Trump killed people with his deliberate stupidity. I actually think if you listed all the things you think Fauci and Pharma got wrong we'd be looking at a list that was 70% wrong, 25% misinterpretation, misrepresentation, ambiguous, etc., and 5% right.
