Quillette: Weinstein is a dangerous quack

Quillette exposes Bret Weinstein for what he is on the pandemic: A conspiracy theorist peddling quack elixirs. See the link for the very specific details.

"Recently, Weinstein has graduated from entertaining theories that might not be right but could do no harm, to theories that cannot be right and are sure to do harm. Because of Weinstein’s prominence, and the trust his listeners place in him, this harm can be measured and is considerable. His promotion of outright quackery, during a pandemic that has killed more Americans than any catastrophe since the Civil War, is immoral."

"It is Weinstein’s right under the First Amendment to say all of this. But let’s not confuse a right to say something with something being right to say. The consequences of Weinstein’s caper will be ruinous. COVID-19’s Delta variant, twice as contagious and possibly more lethal than the original strain, is ravaging the world. Its effects have been devastating in India, and among the unvaccinated in the UK."
