Hotez warned MSNBC viewers that not just one but two separate viruses, one of them H5N1 (also known as bird flu), are "coming down the pike starting on January 21," this being the day after Trump is reinstalled.
"Here's the reason why we need to care about this stuff, Nicole, is that we have some big picture stuff coming down," Hotez threatened, seemingly with some kind of insider information.
"Mr. Bloomberg mentioned H5N1: that I'm really worried about. It's all over the wild birds in the Western part of the United States and going up north getting into poultry, and we are seeing sporadic human cases – no human-to-human transmission yet but it could happen."
Hotez went on to fearmonger about how H5N1 is supposedly "in the cattle" and "in the milk," and that this is "just the beginning."
"We have another major coronavirus likely brewing. In Asia we've had SARS 2002, COVID-19, and know these viruses are jumping from bats to people thousands of times a year" – watch the video below:
HERE WE GO! Vaccine researcher Peter Hotez says multiple viruses will be unleashed on America the day after Trump takes office

If all of that does not sound apocalyptic enough, "there is still more" to come, Hotez further warned during the segment.
"We have a big problem with mosquito-transmitted viruses along the Gulf Coast where I am here in Texas, or expecting dengue or possibly Zika virus coming back ... maybe even yellow fever, and there's more."
Hotez claims there is currently a "sharp rise" in vaccine-preventable diseases "because of anti-vaccine activism" which he says is "prominent right now."
"We have fivefold rising pertussis cases, whooping cough. The last year, 15 measles outbreaks. You've got polio that's been in wastewater, and New York state – all that is going to come crashing down on January 21 on the Trump administration."
"We need a really good team to be able to handle this."
Hotez's forthcoming admissions took many by surprise on social media, including one user who called for the guy to be "taken into custody immediately" so he can be forced to "explain how he knows this."
Another wrote how "weird" it is that all of these many horrors will only come flying out of nowhere the moment Trump is inaugurated.
"Pretty sure @PeterHotez isn't a psychic, but thanks for sharing the specific date of Jan. 21 '25 for what viruses you say are 'coming down the pike,'" wrote another.
"Is it plandemic season again?" asked another, adding a bit of levity to the conversation.
Another pointed out that Hotez must be fuming mad after his recent interview with Joe Rogan, who "destroyed" Hotez in front of millions of listeners and viewers.
"They aren't even trying to hide it. Same as COVID ... they knew it was coming. SCAMDEMIC."
"We still haven't arrested these parasites," added another. "Let's be sure to save his name to come before Congress for the hearings. We'll all want to know EXACTLY how he knows this and where his information comes from."
