He also often <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/protection-demanded-fauci-others-critics-scientists-face-hate-crime-charges-one-idea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jumped into politics<\/a> by accusing Republicans and \u201canti-vaxers\u201d of \u201chate crimes\u201d for daring to disagree with his self-appointed position as the savior of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>According to American cardiologist Dr. Peter A. McCullough and American doctor and biochemist Robert W. Malone, Hotez was directly involved in funding coronavirus gain of functions research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that Peter was involved in the gain of function research going back to Obama\u2019s determination that that should not be done, specifically with the coronavirus,\u201d Malone said during a recent interview posted by the website <a href=\"https:\/\/valuetainment.com\/dr-malone-on-gain-of-function-info-suppression-peter-was-absolutely-involved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Valuetainment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter was absolutely involved in the gain of function research that we usually think of as centered around North Carolina, and Peter was clearly and actively involved in trying to suppress any questions about that gain of function research in promoting the alternative storylines that now appear to be a propaganda campaign that may have been mounted by the intelligence community\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">NEW \u2013 Dr. Robert Malone highlights Dr. Peter Hotez\u2019s role in funding coronavirus gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, his ties to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and his advocacy for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/charity-pot-balloons-1500-percent-still-not-enough-for-infamous-covid-doc-to-debate-rfk-jr-on-rogan\/\" title=\"Charity Pot balloons by 1,500%, but not sufficient for COVID doc to discuss RFK Jr. on Rogan.\">censoring opposing scientific views<\/a>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RWMaloneMD?\">@RWMaloneMD<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joerogan?\">@JoeRogan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FYsyois2Zh\">pic.twitter.com\/FYsyois2Zh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KanekoaTheGreat\/status\/1670619857497493505?\">June 19, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All this has come to the forefront after Democratic candidate for president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kennedy-family-member-kicked-off-instagram-questioning-covid-vaccines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert F.
