Closer to home, Dr. Peter Hotez of the Baylor College of Medicine is no stranger to trolling from the anti-vaxxer crowd and has been the target of threats, death and otherwise, as he has gained more and more visibility among public-health specialists trying to guide us through the pandemic.
This continued trolling comes as hundreds of millions of doses of a COVID-19 vaccine developed at Baylor by Hotez and longtime collaborator Maria Elena Bottazzi are being distributed in India and eventually around the globe. It carries no patent, so it can get into as many arms around the world as possible.
“This is a gift from Texas to the world,” Bottazzi told the Chronicle. “What else can I say?”
Here’s what we say: thank you.
