Dr. Peter Hotez about the antivax, anti-science movement

"They will bring in their own experts, these contrarian experts and many of them are at serious medical schools, even though they're not specialist in infection...they are professors and it's serious places like Stanford and UCSF and Hopkins. I often ask my colleagues: "Why don't we do anything to rein this in?" and they say: "Well you have academic freedom." I said: "That's true, but you also have something called professionalism and ethics too and if it's killing Americans at what point do you say hey we shouldn't be doing this.""
