Bill Ackmann: "I was, however, mistaken in encouraging a debate between @RobertKennedyJr and @PeterHotez as based on my further research Hotez does not appear to be a credible advocate for vaccine policy in light of the repeated inaccuracies of his public statements during the crisis and potential conflicts he may have. ... We can find better experts than Hotez who can help advance the discussion and address any of RFK’s potentially mistaken claims or reasoning. And it should be a discussion rather than a debate. The goal should not be to determine who won or lost, but rather to advance knowledge and understanding. Let’s not censor, dismiss, or run from responding to those who challenge authority, conventional wisdom or even our current scientific understanding, as doing so only serves to destroy confidence in our system, our government and our nation."
