Bret Weinstein has also been making wild, alarmist claims about mRNA vaccines. He's not a credible scientific voice at this point.


What were the alarmist claims that didn't actually pan out?


That the mRNA vaccines have killed tens of thousands of people in the US, and that they'll render people infertile.

He's presented ivermectin as a miracle drug that is "something like 100% effective" at preventing CoVID-19, and said that people should take it instead of getting vaccinated.

In other words, he's an obvious crank who is giving extremely dangerous medical advice to a very large audience.
