COVID-19 expert Peter Hotez harassed outside home by anti-vaccine advocates
On Sunday morning, Hotez posted about the two individuals who confronted him outside his house, adding,"What is with people?"
Less than an hour later, a Twitter user named Alex Rosen tweeted a video of himself talking to Hotez outside his home, shaking Hotez's hand and then asking him why he wouldn't debate Kennedy.Rosen then continued to lobby questions about vaccines at Hotez as he attempted to re-enter his house. In the background, a third person can be heard yelling at Hotez.Around 6 p.m.
After being told it was legal for Rosen to ask Hotez questions as long as he remained on the sidewalk, Rosen repeatedly made provocative comments and then withdrew them, claiming he committed a hate crime and then clarifying that he did not, then saying that"shots were involved" before clarifying he was referring to vaccines and that no vaccines were administered during the interaction.
For the majority of the video, Rosen points the camera toward the floor. Nothing in the video visibly indicated that it took place in a police station. Houston police could not confirm Sunday whether Rosen entered a station or whether the person heard speaking to him in the video was a member of the Houston Police Department.
