This interview by @fullydavid with @ydeigin is the most thorough rebuttal to date of Bret and Heather’s dangerous anti vaccine position. It systematically breaks down just how weak each of their claims are and how badly they misunderstand the research lit.
Yuri is a charmingly cantankerous fellow and a well known advocate for lab leak origins of Covid. So I don’t agree with his assessments universally. But he’s always technically informed & thorough and is entirely spot on here.
There is a stark contrast between his ability to critically assess the quality of studies and the related claims made by advocates and the credulity & sloppiness demonstrated by Bret and Heather.
This is an absolute reconstruction of their position and I’m glad to see it on a channel which is recognised as broadly sympathetic to IDW/Heterdox voices, as this has a much bigger chance of reaching Bret’s audience. So H/T to both David and Yuri for their good work!
BTW if you listen to this and then look at Heather & Bret’s inaugural essay on Heather’s substack it really does demonstrate just how vacuous and low quality the evidence behind their anti vaxx/pro Ivermectin claims are.
*deconstruction! lol
Though I guess he does reconstruct their position by correctly illustrating how empty the evidence base is. Anyway, stupid autocorrect!
