“We Don't Know How Long We Have Left” Eric Weinstein On Nuclear Threat To Humanity (YouTube Content): Difference between revisions

'''Piers Morgan''': Yeah, under the Covid pandemic, which we touched on earlier, your brother Brett has become a very high-profile part of this debate. And we got a clip of him talking about it. Listen to this.

'''Eric Weinstein''': Well, first of all, I just want to be very clear that whatever Brett's positions are on Covid or his positions, they are not my positions. And I don't want to be referenced to his positions. Much of what he says is true. But the problem is that when you are so clearly lying about the origins of Covid, its treatment, the reasons for doing things, the science, you open up the question, what exactly is going on and why are we lying about everything?

'''Eric Weinstein''': I think the stark difference is that Brett claims that he can figure out much more of that story than I think I can. And I dare say I don't think anyone can. If you're not going to really go after the EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak in terms of the information that that organization and that individual holds, and you're not going to discuss Ralph Baric's lab in North Carolina, you're not going to talk about the private communications inside of NIH with Francis Collins—

'''Eric Weinstein''': And I came from—you know, I'm an old man now at 58—I remember the Church hearings, the Pike hearings, the Watergate hearings, the Iran-Contra hearings. We have given up on a taste for actually figuring out who we are, what we've done, what our responsibilities are. And I think that we don't know. Brett, I don't think he does.

'''Eric Weinstein''': But I completely disagreed with his ivermectin maximalism. And the internet can't maintain a distinction like that. You see, in other words, to the ivermectin army, Brett was a genius for realizing that ivermectin was a near-perfect prophylactic, which I didn't believe. On the other hand, to people who were buying the official line, I was killing people by suggesting that ivermectin was a replacement.
