A tried-and-true way of undercutting vaccine science is to claim that it is all influenced by pharmaceutical business decisions. Prominent scientists, such as Dr. Stanley Plotkin and\u00a0Dr. Peter Hotez<\/a>\u00a0have faced these accusations. How can we respond?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That\u2019s why we can now\u00a0search<\/a>\u00a0payments made by drug and medical device companies to physicians and other health care professionals.<\/p>\n

For example, you can see that Dr. Peter\u00a0Hotez<\/a>\u00a0has received less than $1,000 in the years that payments have been tracked, while Dr. Peter\u00a0McCullough<\/a>,\u00a0who promotes treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, has made over $4 million from the pharmaceutical industry in that same time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Accusing scientists of being influenced by pharmaceutical companies is a common tactic, but transparency shows that vaccine proponents like Dr. Peter Hotez have minimal financial ties compared to those promoting alternative treatments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","jtf_topic_subjects":[218],"class_list":["post-10866","jtf_topics","type-jtf_topics","status-publish","hentry","jtf_topic_subjects-vaccine-safety","entry","no-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/jtf_topics"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10869,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/10866\/revisions\/10869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jtf_topic_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topic_subjects?post=10866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
