Original Note:
This video is being shared to misrepresent what Dr. Peter Hotez said. Dr. Hotez only warned that the Trump Administration will inherit many infectious disease crises, and it will need "a really, really good team" to handle them. These are existing (not new) viruses. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/dec/06/instagram-posts/no-vaccine-researcher-dr-peter-hotez-didnt-threate/ https://www.techarp.com/science/dr-peter-hotez-threaten-viruses-trump/ https://x.com/PeterHotez/status/1864803810943914002 https://x.com/PeterHotez/status/1864804658423726585
