Bret Weinstein and Peter Boghossian discuss the new Director of the CDC, Dr. Erica Schwartz and her belief that mRNA vaccines are "safe and effective."

"Dr. Erica Schwartz, Dr. Jason Arday, are variations on a theme, right?

One of these people is much more serious in a sense than the other, but they are taking advantage of the fact that there's a niche — you know, in the case of Erica Schwartz, there's a niche for an attractive, black, yes, well-spoken person who can lie to the camera about matters of life and death and it doesn't faze her."

Plus a confession from @BretWeinstein

"Here's the confession, and it pains me to say this, but I feel a moral obligation:

I misjudged Thomas Sowell before knowing much about what he thought. When he was introduced to me as a concept, before I'd seen his work, I felt like I knew the story: a black conservative gets embraced by the right because it's so useful to have a black conservative saying something that is surprising to hear from such a person.

Only when I encountered his actual work did I discover — no, no, no, no, no. This guy is an intellectual powerhouse. His blackness is completely irrelevant to what he is saying. It may call attention to it, but I think that's all well and good because from the point of view of the quality of the thinker, he's absolutely top-notch.
