Bret and Eric Weinstein: Brothers in Fraudulence

[@Omphalo_Skepsis]

I was staff at TESC at that time. Thank you for writing about the truth of the events at TESC. It was so frustrating to watch everything unfold and see Bret manipulate the media coverage. There were multiple staff conversations before, during and after DOA/DOP. Bret was aware that he did not have to leave campus. Bret wanted to participate in the DEI activity on his terms, and burned everything down when he did not get his way. Bret had multiple chances to deescalate the situation, but chose to deliberately escalate everything.

Just as a note, ivermectin is one of the cheapest drugs in the planet and is open source. It is used widely. So no, pharma would not have made money on it. I think that was their point. Also, there were international studies that weighed in favor of certain dosages of ivermectin being effective as a treatment.

[@Marco-it2mr]

"Just as a note, ivermectin is one of the cheapest drugs in the planet and is open source." Just as a note, it isn't even close to being one of the cheapest drugs on the planet. Just as another note, "open source" as a term for a drug is really, really weird, and strongly suggests you have no idea what you are talking about. "So no, pharma would not have made money on it" So, why then is it sold by companies? If they cannot make money on it, no company would produce it. There definitely would not be any generics manufacturer - and yet there is one in the US! "I think that was their point." If that is their point, it is very obviously complete nonsense. Let me show you a simple calculation: typical doses of ivermectin claimed to work against COVID are around .4 mg/kg body weight, taken over several days. That means a typical American needs to take over 30 mg a day. Let's say it is taken for a week. We're now up to well over 210 mg. Let's say you get this dose by taking the highest dose tablets (12 mg). You have now taken some 18 tablets. In the US, the lowest price for such tablets is around 1.13 dollar per tablet - but you'll have to go to some questionable online pharmacies, who import poorly controlled products from abroad (and this is not quite legal). Let's go to an extreme, and assume the profit(!) per tablet is a mere 5 dollarcent. This means the company that made ivermectin has just made 90 dollarcents off of one person. If 100 million Americans would take this, they would make a profit of 90 million dollars. Notably, with sales of over 2 billion in the US alone. And since COVID is here to stay, people would very regularly take it, meaning sales and profits go up even further. Before you think this means "pharma would not have made money on it" - worldwide sales of acetaminophen (paracetamol) are about 4 billion. There is a multitude of companies that make this product, all getting some money out of this. Companies that make ivermectin are Pharma. They would have made money out of it, especially if they have no other general drugs that can be used in case of COVID. In other words, people who think "pharma" would not have made any money are either extremely stupid, or deliberately deceptive, praying on simple souls like you.

[@xXEGPXx]

You believe in a miracle drug being sold by a private company who has made billions off of it, a new sucker is born every single day

[@gregedmand9939]

There are ZERO recognized studies confirming that Ivermectin has any antiviral properties. If you took it when stricken with the virus in question, and had a miraculous recovery: your immune system was most likely burdened with parasites. Ivermectin did its job, letting your body focus on the viral attack.

[@gregedmand9939]

My comment keeps being deleted so let's try again... If you took "I" in response to being infected by the "C" virus, and enjoyed a rapid recovery: you were most likely carrying a parasite burden that "I" cleared up. "I" has no direct antiviral properties. It's a very effective anti-parasite drug. Your body now delivered from that distraction, could then focus on the virus.

It was good in general to see a video with criticism of Bret, but I found the segment on the lab leak hypothesis somewhat disingenuous. Bret did not promote the deliberate release hypothesis, but the accidental lab leak hypothesis, and he did so early in the pandemic not because of "spidey sense", but because he read a detailed investigation with evidence by Yuri Deigin (who was initially trying to disprove lab leak). Over the course of time an increasing number of people (including US intelligence) have come to view the lab leak hypothesis as at least plausible, perhaps even probable. Furthermore, there is now evidence that Peter Daszak, who channelled NIH funding viia EcoHealth Alliance to the WIV lab, coordinated a group of virologists to sign a letter to Nature stating that the lab leak hypothesis was essentially impossible. He also headed the WHO investigation, at the request of China - an evident conflict of interest.

Its happening in politics and media. Just in the last few days a woke left male teacher was fired for saying anyone who disagrees with him should be shot. TV shows like the View say racist and threatening things everyday. Democrats say these things everyday on the news.

I remember Brett suggesting a unity party concept with cross party candidates for the 2016 election. Perhaps that was grandiose delusion on his part but it was a nice idea. He also promoted people staying home or at least not socialising in large groups outdoors during the pandemic and urged people to take supposedly minor illnesses like colds and flus more seriously. That stuff all seemed good. He clearly went off the deep end but I never had much contact with his content other than those examples.

Otherwise he's just bringing up random unrelated topics to gish gallop away from the subject. Both are dishonest tactics to avoid the topic. And of course there's also his dog needing a walk.

Those who actually do math know that if you are lucky enough to have some good original ideas, the only way for them to have an impact is to write them up very well, so that it will be readable and so have a much btetter chance of getting easily published. After that to give talks (backed up by the papers or preprints) which are interesting and well- prepared. Also, to collaborate with co-authors so you can have fun and bounce ideas off each other. It's true that it's very hard to do all that without an academic position which although it may not pay well, and may have too much teaching, at least gives you some time and possibilities and resources for that. Teaching or having students can help, if you are lucky. To expect to get all the fluff of fame without putting in the hard work of actually working out your perhaps genuinely brilliant ideas thoroughly, is naive, unrealistic and selfish: everyone else has to do it, what makes you so special? There are coutless unfinished manuscripts and notes by very famous researchers which will never get completed by anyone else, simply because no one has the time and energy to finish someone else's mess.... Furthermore, : if your goal is actually to contribute to others, rather than to just make money or be famous, then you want to do that anyway: to write it up correctly, rigorously, and completely, and explain it to inspire others.

[@johnjameson6751]

This is one place were Dave missed the ball and needs to do more research. Bret did not promote the deliberate release hypothesis, but the accidental lab leak hypothesis, and he did so early in the pandemic not because of "spidey sense", but because he read a detailed investigation with evidence by Yuri Deigin (who was initially trying to disprove lab leak). Over the course of time an increasing number of people (including US intelligence) have come to view the lab leak hypothesis as at least plausible, perhaps even probable. Furthermore, there is now evidence that Peter Daszak, who channelled NIH funding viia EcoHealth Alliance to the WIV lab, coordinated a group of virologists to sign a letter to Nature stating that the lab leak hypothesis was essentially impossible. He also headed the WHO investigation, at the request of China - an evident conflict of interest. It was good in general to see a video with criticism of Bret, but I found this segment somewhat disingenuous.
