Vaccine Experts Targeted by Joe Rogan and Elon Musk's Anti-Vaxxer Challenge

Vaccine scientist Peter Hotez was "stalked" by anti-vaccine activists at his home after Joe Rogan and others challenged him to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine proponent and Democratic presidential candidate, over vaccine misinformation. Hotez criticized Rogan for hosting Kennedy, who has peddled false claims linking vaccines to autism, on Rogan's podcast. Rogan publicly challenged Hotez to debate Kennedy, and vaccine skeptics piled on. Hotez said he was not prepared for what unfolded Sunday when anti-vaccine activists showed up at his home to harass, taunt and confront him about Rogan's challenge to debate Kennedy.
