I'm so sorry he has turned into someone who says this. Some time around 2008-9 or so, he was in my office (in a military institution) discussing his hopes for starting the center he now directs, with a focus on neglected tropical diseases, the ones that don't get high visibility and funding and that may no longer affect, or ever have affected, large populations. He seemed to be sincere about helping those people. He wasn't hostile to those of us in uniform at all. I don't know what happened, other than his funding is likely being threatened and he lives in a bubble.
Here's his opinion piece in Scientific American from 2021:
The Antiscience Movement Is Escalating, Going Global and Killing Thousands

Oh whaaaaaat ever. These people wouldn't know science if it bit them.
“Antiscience” - Hotez is the personification of this. Bait & Switch. He’s a nothing burger but somehow hangs around.

He sucked off the govt/big pHARMa teat too long...
Probably most of the funding for his Center comes from Big pHarma.
... and whatever was in that milk crossed the blood brain barrier.
He's a psychopath. They have a great talent for portraying for exactly what snooker. It doesn't just suddenly develop. You we're snookered.😕
