Dr. Peter Hotez was caught red handed… gaslighting families that have had pediatricians kick them out of their practices or worse, had protective services called on them for wanting to opt out of the CDC recommendations. Peter Hotez says that in Dr’s offices, “there was never coercion.” We know this has been happening for years, but even CBS news reported this was happening as far back as 2012… a survey by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine showed that 25% of pediatricians have fired patients for refusing vaccines. Sounds like coercion to me… who’s gaslighting now?

Nevermind the coercion that goes on at schools in states like CA or NY where your child cannot attend unless you follow the recommendations exactly.

If we want to have real conversations around the changes to the schedule, we have to start with honesty and transparency- it’s what we’ve been asking for since day one of this movement.

Come on, Peter. Do better.
