Weinstein repeated discredited theories to Rogan about HIV not being the cause of AIDS, alarming and infuriating public health experts.
Bret Weinstein, the evolutionary biology professor turned podcaster and ivermectin guy, repeated a series of discredited pseudo-theories about AIDS in a recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Weinstein, a frequent guest, told Rogan that he found the theory that party drugs like poppers cause AIDS to be “surprisingly compelling.” (It is not.) Weinstein also told Rogan he came to these ideas by reading a recent book by anti-vaccine activist and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, creating a sort of unholy turducken of misinformation passed onto an audience of millions.
Who the f**k take this 2 clowns serious? And Joe Rogan, that dude …is a gold mine for this shit and stupid topics.
I dunno. The guy got a bunch of radio equipment from when he worked at WNYX, started a pirate radio station then moved on to podcasts…
It’s all there in his Wikipedia
“ He also espouses various conspiracy theories, particularly with regard to the government’s suppression of information about extraterrestrial life.”
Love it.
The conspiracy/alien stuff was good times. They ended years before spotify.
Far too many people, sadly.
Visit the south or youtube and you will be amazed at the dumbassery
