After "inviting" vaccine scientist Peter Hotez in a tweet, summit organizer Jay Bhattacharya retweeted a bunch of weird conspiracy theories about Hotez + Covid vaccines & targetting him for abuse. From this statement, it appears Stanford's President would blame *Hotez* for refusing to participate.
What followed was disappointing. When I was invited, I asked around and indeed the organizers were talking to some well-known people with quite different views who were likely to speak. However, it was not so straightforward. Some invitees weren’t able to make it, or withdrew, or didn’t want to participate in an event with other speakers whose views and behavior they found attacking or abhorrent.

For those curious, the President's remarks at the summit have been published here. They address none of my concerns and seem to chastise faculty who refused to engage with people who have relentlessly harassed their colleagues. Shameful.
