This article is quite a mess, and appears to have been continuously edited by a series of single-purpose accounts, so a reminder to review WP:COI may be helpful. There are huge amounts of uncited text, there was a lot of off-topic content that belongs in other linked articles, there are indiscriminate lists (See WP:NOT), and there was a lot of unencyclopedic puffery.

Thank you Biografer, Theroadislong, ColinFine, and David Biddulph for your help and suggestions today! With regards to this article I have a clear conflict of interest (I have made minor edits to this bio but now realize that I wasn't really supposed to) as the subject of the article is my boss so I would appreciate further help. A lot of the puffery and uncited material has been removed but I fear the layout still is not logical. After looking at a bunch of other Wikipedia bios including other public health figures and researchers I would suggest this layout:
Contents
Intro
Early Life and Education
Research and Career
Awards and memberships
Publications and media
Personal life
External links
The other problem in the text which has been deleted was a lack of good citations. I have added in what I think are good citations in the following suggested text (sorry, I don't think I did the header thing correctly):
== Early life and education ==
Hotez was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and grew up in West Hartford. He received a BA in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry magna cum laude (Phi Beta Kappa) from Yale University in 1980, a PhD from Rockefeller University in 1986, and his MD (Doctorate in Medicine) from Weill Cornell Medical College in 1987. He obtained pediatric residency training at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Professor Hotez is a diplomate certified in pediatrics. [1]
== Research And Career ==
=== Early Research===
Hotez was awarded postdoctoral positions molecular parasitology and pediatric infectious diseases at Yale University School of Medicine, and subsequently became an assistant professor there in 1992 and in 1995 was named an associate professor. His early research focused on the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms of human hookworm infection, and became interested in the possibility of developing a vaccine to protect against hookworm. Together with Maj Gen (ret) Philip K. Russell MD, Hotez founded the Human Hookworm Vaccine Initiative (HHVI) in 1999,and in 2000 he was named Professor and Chair of the Department of Microbiology, and Tropical Medicine at the George Washington University, where he would serve until 2011 (renamed in 2005 as the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine).
=== Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) ===
Following the World Health Organization’s Millenium Development Goals in 2000, Hotez, along with Alan Fenwick and David Molyneux, led a global effort to rebrand what WHO in 2000 termed “other diseases” (Goal 6: to combat HIV, AIDS, malaria, “and other diseases”) as the neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, and to promote therapeutic/preventive chemotherapy through a combination of drugs called the rapid-impact package.
[2]
[3]
Hotez has advocated increased efforts to control NTDs since 2005 through publications and speaking engagements, helping to gain increased awareness resulting in a decrease of prevalence and disease burden in many areas.
[4]
During this time Hotez also led the Sabin Vaccine Institute in Washington DC, and also led efforts to establish PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, the first online open access medical journal focused exclusively on neglected tropical diseases.
[5]
In 2011 Hotez left Washington DC for Houston, where he was named founding dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, as well as principal investigator of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development (CVD).
[6] In addition to continued work on vaccines against hookworm and schistosomiasis, the CVD has expanded its portfolio to develop vaccines against a variety of other NTDs, including Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, as well as coronavirus infections.
[7]
[8] Currently two vaccines are in clinical trials for hookworm infection and schistosomiasis, respectively.
[9]
[10]
=== US science envoy ===
Hotez has also highlighted how vaccines can be used to promote international relationships in a process of what he terms “vaccine diplomacy.” In December 2014 Hotez was named U.S. Science Envoy by the White House and State Department. In this role he served two years focusing on vaccine science diplomacy and joint vaccine development with countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
[11]
=== Public Figure on Ebola, Zika and other emerging diseases; blue marble health, combating vaccine hesitancy ===
In 2016, Prof. Hotez emerged as a major national thought leader on the Zika epidemic in the Western Hemisphere and globally, as well as the Ebola cases in Dallas, Texas a year earlier. He served on two Texas Governor’s task forces in order to address these diseases. He has also led US efforts around neglected diseases among impoverished populations in the southern US, estimating that 12 million Americans currently live with NTDs such as Chagas disease and toxocariasis.
In addition, as both a vaccine scientist and autism father he has led national efforts to defend vaccines as an ardent champion of vaccines going up against a growing national antivaccine movement.
[12]
Hotez has been awarded: • 2017 - The Distinguished Achievement Award from B'Nai B'rith International for a lifetime of accomplishments in science and public health. [13] • 2011 - The Abraham Horwitz Award from the Pan American Health and Education Foundation and Pan American Health Organization for excellence in leadership in Inter-American public health guidelines [14] • 2003 - The Bailey K. Ashford Medal from the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene for distinguished work in tropical medicine. [15]
== Publications ==
Hotez has served as editor or co-editor for several important textbooks including Feigin & Cherry’s Pediatric Tropical Diseases and Manson’s Tropical Diseases. He has also published two single author books titled Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases, published by ASM Press. and Blue Marble Health: An Innovative Plan to Fight Diseases of the Poor Amid Wealth, published by Johns Hopkins University Press. He is the author of more than 400 scientific papers indexed on the PubMed National of Library of Science Database.
== Personal life ==
Hotez lives in Houston, Texas. He married his wife Ann in 1987. They have two sons and two daughters. Hotez has written and talked about the family’s struggles with their daughter Rachel’s autism.

Hotez has been extremely political rather than substantive in his appearances on television. He has also refused to do a live debate with RFK Jr, on the very popular Joe Rogan podcast which is strange for someone that calls himself an expert. The level of pushback from him and mainstream media outlets appears extreme and unprecedented. Many individuals have offered to pay him to do this debate and the pot is up to $1 million.
