Dr. Hotez’s personal life as the father of an adult daughter with autism<\/a> provides him with a unique platform as a vaccination<\/a> advocate against the effort to wrongly connect vaccines with autism, which inspired the title of his 2018 book, Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism<\/a>.”Dr. Hotez routinely writes for lay audiences and has been an incredibly prominent and plain presence on television, bringing science to the vaccination debate,” said Dr. Harmon<\/a>, a South Carolina family physician. “His friendly demeanor and desire to advocate for vaccinations have made him a man for our times.\u201d  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Hotez’s lab, which creates vaccinations that aren’t commercially feasible for pharmaceutical corporations, has been researching the coronavirus<\/a> for over a decade. In December, India approved emergency use authorization for the lab’s COVID-19 vaccine, Corbevax<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his career, he has prioritized global health, notably the development of vaccines for neglected tropical illnesses<\/a>. He successfully argued for more investment in managing these diseases in underdeveloped nations<\/a>, despite the fact that pharmaceutical corporations have little motivation to produce new products. In 2016, he released the book “Blue Marble Health<\/a>,” in which he argues that the traditional concept of underdeveloped vs. developed countries is out of date. Dr. Hotez’s most recent book is titled “Preventing the Next Pandemic<\/a>: Vaccine Diplomacy in an Age of Anti-Science.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
