🧵 1. @PeterHotez - In addition to the $2.6M financial windfall for your charities, the debate w/ RFK Jr will allow you to clarify some of the inconsistencies in your authoritative pronouncements during the pandemic

I still can’t get over people actually used to stand at their front door banging pots and pans basically celebrating being locked in your house.

That would be a great suggestion if you could assure that the industry you were representing wasn’t completely captured by heartless monsters who have a history of some of the biggest criminal fines in human history because their deception has cost hundreds of thousands of people their lives. It would be a great suggestion if the industry you were defending didn’t occasionally look at human beings as an opportunity to generate insane wealth regardless of the tragic consequences. But you can’t do that, so… maybe it would be a good idea to have a fucking debate.
Ireland’s #HateCrime laws once again are an international embarrassment with @FoxNews reporting ‘Irish politician boasts hate speech bill will ‘restrict freedom’ to protect trans people from ‘discomfort’. Why is this madness allowed to continue. https://t.co/NxRkUPDawM
This is an absolutely brilliant and important speech because it so perfectly captures the deeply authoritarian mentality driving today's Western liberal despots: yes, we are going to ban you from expressing ideas we dislike, but it's because we know the Common Good demands it.
In 2023 there are not only lunatics who defend this, not only people of sound mind scared to call it bullshit, but there are politicians like @HMcEntee and pretty much the entire Irish parliament that want to make it a criminal offence for stating out loud this is outrageous.
