Professor Suggests It Should be a Federal Hate Crime to Criticize Fauci And Other Government-funded Scientists

Questioning is the basis of science. So along comes I supposed scientist… Well, read for yourself.

Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology at Baylor College of Medicine, is arguing that federal hate-crime protections may need to be extended to Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists “targeted by far-right extremism.”

In his July 28 paper “Mounting antiscience aggression in the United States,” Hotez writes that a “band of ultraconservative members of the US Congress and other public officials with far-right leanings are waging organized and seemingly well-coordinated attacks against prominent US biological scientists.”

With that, the professor contends in his paper that Congress “should look at expanded protection mechanisms for scientists currently targeted by far-right extremism in the United States,” citing a bill that has been introduced named the Scientific Integrity Act of 2021.

The urge for dictatorial rule is strong with these people [1], and they therefore must be ridiculed, derided and jailed. I’m with Candice Owens on this point.
