Vaccine promoter Dr. Peter Hotez made headlines last June for refusing to debate author, activist, presidential candidate, and attorney Robert Kennedy, Jr. on the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Rather than accept the challenge, Hotez lashed out at both Robert Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan, who invited the two to debate the facts on his show.
Hotez refused and smeared Robert Kennedy, Jr. instead. Hotez actually said, “Science is not something that is typically debated.” What a fraud.
Now, the ‘charlatan’ doctor claimed that ‘Disease X’ is coming, which will be worse than COVID-19.
“So I am very worried that we as a nation, haven’t made that commitment to really fully protect the American people,” Hotez told FOX 26.
“We have a likelihood that new pandemic threats that people call them disease x are going to be rising on a regular basis.”
“COVID-19 is just the warm-up act. The next pandemic may not be as severe, but it could be much more severe,” he added.

“Disease X” is a placeholder name that was adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018 on their shortlist of blueprint priority diseases to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could cause a future epidemic. It is a potential disease that could cause a global pandemic, and scientists are working to identify and prepare for it.
The WHO does not know what Disease X is, or what it could look like, but they are concerned that it could arise at any time.
Livemint reported:
Health experts are sounding the alarm about “Disease X,” a term coined by the World Health Organization. They warn that this potential new pandemic has the capacity to result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020 and has tragically claimed the lives of over 2.5 million people worldwide.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Kate Bingham, who served as the chair of the UK’s Vaccine Taskforce from May to December 2020, expressed her belief that Disease X is expected to be considerably more perilous than COVID-19.
up to 50 million fatalities. “Let me put it this way: the 1918-19 flu pandemic killed at least 50 million people worldwide, twice as many as were killed in World War I. Today, we could expect a similar death toll from one of the many viruses that already exist,” she told the Daily Mail.
In response to Disease X, Bingham asserted, “the world will have to prepare for mass vaccination drives and deliver the doses in record time.”
She disclosed that while scientists have identified 25 virus families encompassing thousands of individual viruses, she holds the view that there are millions of viruses yet to be discovered, and these have the potential to evolve into pandemics.
Meanwhile, an unexplained pneumonia-like sickness is reportedly swiftly spreading through schools in China, leading to a surge of hospitalizations of children.
Over the past few weeks, numerous schools in China, predominantly in Beijing and Liaoning province, have reported a rapid increase in children presenting with severe symptoms. These symptoms, including high fever and lung inflammation, are eerily similar to those of pneumonia, Daily Mail reported.
However, what sets this illness apart is the lack of common respiratory symptoms like coughing. This unique symptom profile has led health professionals to label this as an “undiagnosed pneumonia.”
Note that this peculiar symptomatology has reportedly baffled health professionals, who are struggling to categorize and understand this new illness.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it has requested information from China regarding the increase in cases of respiratory diseases and clusters of pneumonia among children.
How convenient. Just in time for the election.

The Biden regime is not letting the Constitution get in the way of buying off young voters who have soured on him.
Axios reported that Joe Biden sent an email Tuesday afternoon informing more than 800,000 student loan borrowers about student loan debt relief. This means the so-called president has forgiven $127 billion in student loan debt for 3.5 million borrowers so far.
As the Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila previously reported, Biden had unilaterally canceled over $400 billion in student loans, which turns out to be up to $10,000 in student debt for borrowers who earn $125,000 a year or less and up to $20,000 for recipients of Pell Grants. His scheme was rejected by the Supreme Court.
According to Axios, here is what the email states:
I hope this relief gives you a little more breathing room.
I’ve heard from countless people who have told me that relieving the burden of student loan debt will allow them to support themselves and their families, or move forward with life plans they’ve put on hold.
I’m proud that we were able to give borrowers like you the relief you earned. I promise you that as long as I am President, I will never stop fighting for hardworking American families.”
A White House spokesperson said Tuesday following the announcement: “The president is committed to fighting for hardworking American families, making sure we get them a little more breathing room, and allowing them to support themselves and their families.”
Biden’s email also requests that recipients share how the bailout will impact them. He then blames “errors and administrative failures” for the shortcomings of the student loan forgiveness process.
Axios notes the students who received this email were those who were not credited for student loan payments that should have given them forgiveness or people placed into forbearance by loan servicers who violated Department of Education policies. Laila reported back in October that the Department of Education withheld $7.2 million from the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority over billing statement errors that affected 800,000 borrowers.
Suppose this action by Biden is not stopped; what will prevent him from pursuing even more damaging political activities, such as declaring a “climate emergency” to shut down oil and gas drilling across America?

President Joe Biden — the establishment’s installed puppet — has presided over a comical, catastrophic and tyrannical administration. And people have noticed.
According to The Hill, Monday’s Morning Consult poll showed Biden with approval numbers substantially lower than those of the least popular state governor.
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves of Mississippi earned a 45 percent approval rating. By contrast, Biden checked in at a dismal 38 percent approval.
On the negative side, too, Biden crushed the competition. The president’s 55 percent disapproval rating easily outpaced Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa, who scored identical approval and disapproval ratings of 48 percent.
Earlier this month, Reynolds endorsed Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida for the party’s presidential nomination. As recently as 2022, rumors swirled that perhaps former President Donald Trump would select Reynolds as his 2024 running mate.
In at least one respect, the Morning Consult poll should strike us as depressing. It shows, for instance, that when it comes to evaluating state governors, party affiliation makes a big difference.
How else could we explain the fact that Democratic Gov. Josh Green of deep-blue Hawaii was rated as the nation’s 3rd-most popular governor at 66 percent approval? In the wake of government failures at all levels during and after the Aug. 8 Maui wildfire, that approval rating seems almost impossible.
As for Biden, the Morning Consult poll hardly qualified as an outlier. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls for the period between Nov. 1 and Nov. 27, the president has earned a 55.3 percent disapproval rating compared to only 40.7 percent approval.
Meanwhile, in the 2024 presidential race, recent polls have shown Biden trailing Trump both nationwide and in presumed battleground states.
On the whole, though Biden’s popularity has clearly diminished over time, one hardly knows what to make of these polls.
After all, the Biden administration has no precedent in U.S. history.
On one hand, no president has ever exhibited such obvious cognitive decline coupled with inability to perform basic tasks. Biden has often struggled, for instance, with climbing stairs, forming coherent sentences and finding his way off stage. In any other role besides that of a corrupt and ineffectual world leader, he would command sympathy rather than mockery.
On the other hand, no president has presided over anything comparable to the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. Nor has any administration orchestrated a more brazen money-laundering operation than the Ukraine War. Even with that operation seemingly winding down for the moment, World War III has never seemed likelier than it does now under Biden.
And, of course, no U.S. president has ever attempted to throw his leading rival in prison. Nor has any administration ever treated its political opponents as domestic terrorists.
Indeed, Biden has managed to combine the seemingly irreconcilable qualities of dictator and buffoon. His approval rating should be near zero.
Alas, 40 percent of poll respondents seem not to have noticed. Or, those respondents have noticed and, in fact, have approved of both the incompetence and the tyranny.
Happily, 55 percent have noticed and do not approve, so hope remains.

Activists had called for representatives to ‘see blood on your hands’
A judge has ruled the Montana state House of Representatives has the right to discipline members as it chooses.
And he’s thrown out a lawsuit by Zooey Zephyr, a transgender Democrat who sued over a House decision to punish him.
A report in the Washington Times revealed Montana District Court Judge Mike Menahan has granted the state’s request to dismiss the lawsuit Zephyr filed accusing the House of violating his rights.
Menahan, a Democrat and former member of the House, said in his 10-page order, “Article V, Section 10 of the Montana Constitution provides the Legislature the authority to discipline its members.”
Zephyr was censured last April for violating House rules and decorum “after holding up a disconnected microphone on the House floor in support of gallery protesters,” the report said.
Demonstrators were arrested at the time.
The judge said, “The censure limited Zephyr to voting remotely on pending legislation for the remainder of the legislative session.”
In the House at the time was legislation that would protect children from gender-transition drugs and surgeries that can leave them mutilated, and sterile, for life.
Zephyer, a male who “transitioned” to female in 2018, scolded other representatives with, “If you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments, I hope the next time there’s an invocation, when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands.”
The judge also noted that the lawsuit became moot when the legislature adjourned May 2.
“The court cannot grant effective relief in this matter because there is no longer a ‘live’ controversy. Because of the fact specific nature of plaintiffs’ claims, no mootness exception applies. Without a justiciable issue, this court may not hear plaintiffs’ case.”
WND reported when Menahan ruled months ago that the legislature’s decision would stand.
Zephyr, whose original name was Zachary Raasch, had launched a verbal attack against Republican lawmakers as they were voting on one LGBT agenda point.
His privilege to be on the floor of House, and speak, was suspended by a House vote then, and later, after appearing to lead an “insurrection” by his supporters in the House chamber, he sued.
The House censure vote found Zephyr had “violated the rules, collective rights, safety, dignity, integrity, or decorum of the House of Representatives.”

Jack Smith and Obama-appointed Judge Beryl Howell are now attempting to cover up the fact that they both suggested Trump was a ‘flight risk’ to justify the nondisclosure order on X/Twitter.
As previously reported, Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted he included inaccurate information when he asked Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, for a secret search warrant for Trump’s X/Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump.
X was fined $350,000 because it delayed producing the subpoenaed records.
The search warrant was so secret that Trump didn’t even know Jack Smith issued a subpoena for the records.
Biden’s corrupt Justice Department obtained a nondisclosure order that prohibited X from informing Trump about Jack Smith’s subpoena.
Over the course of the months-long legal battle, X argued that the nondisclosure order violated the First Amendment and Stored Communications Act.
The Justice Department argued Trump would put the so-called ‘ongoing investigation’ in jeopardy.
According to CNN, the DC Circuit Court Appeals said the court found that there were “reasonable grounds to believe” that Trump would ‘jeopardize the ongoing investigation’ if he knew about the search warrant.
“The district court, according to the DC Circuit’s opinion, “found that there were ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ that disclosing the warrant to former President Trump ‘would seriously jeopardize the ongoing investigation’ by giving him “an opportunity to destroy evidence, change patterns of behavior, [or] notify confederates.”” CNN reported.
Jack Smith admitted to Judge Howell he included inaccurate information when he suggested Trump would become a flight risk if he learned about the secret gag order.
Judge Beryl Howell
“The district court also found reason to believe that the former President would ‘flee from prosecution,’” read the decision from DC District Court of Appeals. “The government later acknowledged, however, that it had ‘errantly included flight from prosecution as a predicate’ in its application for the non-disclosure order.”
“U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell granted the warrant and the nondisclosure order. The appeals court ruling upheld his decision. Howell’s original order is not public, though the appellate court indicated he felt there was reason to believe Trump’s awareness of the warrant could undercut the investigation by allowing him to obstruct it.” Just the News reported.
“Howell evidently agreed with the erroneous elements claiming Trump would be a flight risk, though the appeals court determined that consideration was not the definitive reason for his granting the nondisclosure order.” according to Just the News.
Jack Smith has a history of lying and withholding exculpatory evidence.
Now Jack Smith is trying to strike the ‘flight risk’ language from the record.
“The Government now seeks to strike from the NDO language, which can be found at the bottom of page two of the NDO.” they wrote in a later filing.
Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ also demanded information on all Twitter-X users who retweeted President Trump, liked President Trump’s tweets, or mentioned President Trump’s account in their tweets.
One huge matter both Jack Smith and Judge Howell are attempting to cover up is how both suggested Trump was a flight risk to justify nondisclosure order on Twitter—they tried to cover their tracks in later filings.
