On Tuesday’s “fox-news-flash” target=”_blank”>Tucker Carlson Tonight< criticized Baylor College of Medicine tropical diseases expert professor Dr. Peter Hotez for his controversial comments and positions, including once telling another network that the Justice Department may need to get involved against people he believes to be spreading “disinformation” about coronavirus.
Hotez has become a common recurring guest on MSNBC, the host noted, calling him a “crazed publicity addict” and suggesting Baylor University reconsider allowing him to spout off about medicine on television.

“Why in the world would [Baylor] let him do an MSNBC hit like that? If anybody is discrediting vaccines, making people afraid of them, he’s such an obvious lunatic and politicizing medicine, it’s Peter Hotez, he’s totally ignorant,” Carlson said.
“This guy is discrediting you and our medical system. He’s arguing in his little Baylor scrubs that people who don’t agree with him belong in jail… Sorry, Peter Hotez. We have freedom of speech in this country, and no one should be more grateful for that than you,” Carlson remarked.
