Professor Michael Mann and Dr. Peter Hotez are leading experts on climate change and vaccines, respectively, and in recent years, have both been targeted by those who seek to discredit their expertise. That experience led the two to come together to write the new book “Science
Under Siege.” The campaign against them and other scientists “was organized, it was deliberate, it was politically motivated, and it was financially motivated,” Hotez tells Ali Velshi. “The overriding
crisis is the rise of misinformation and disinformation,” Mann adds.
