A vaccine scientist who was challenged by podcaster Joe Rogan to debate 2024 Democratic candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to the demands and claimed that scientists “don’t typically do debates.”

“In science, we don’t typically do debates,” Dr. Peter Hotez said in an MSNBC interview over the past weekend, responding to Rogan’s request. “What we do is we write scientific papers … one doesn’t typically debate science. Maybe the one-off discussion of evolution versus creationism and that sort of thing, but that’s not what we do in science.”
