Former biology professor Bret Weinstein and his wife Heather Heying appeared on Joe Rogan Experience(JRE) podcast following controversy over the podcaster's revelation that he contracted and treated the Chinese coronavirus infection with anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin. Weinstein had talked about the drug on JRE in the past.
During their discussion about the so-called breakthrough cases of coronavirus infection, Weinstein said that vaccinated people contract the virus because of the makeup of the vaccine, and its deployment into an active pandemic.
Left-wing scientists, bureaucrats and media talking heads have been deliberately and wrongly blaming the emergence of new variants of the virus, on the unvaccinated population.
However on JRE, Weinstein explained immunologist Garrett Vandenbosch's theory on what is causing the proliferation of variants of the virus. The immunologist predicted that this is going to become a 'pandemic of variants,' and talked about 'immune escape.'
Weinstein explained Vandenbosch's theory thusly:
"In any case what he argued was that the fact of these vaccines being very narrowly targeted right, these vaccines contain a single sub-unit of a single protein. And they’re being deployed in a way that is unusual, they’re being deployed into an active pandemic right. When we immunize against something like measles the expectation is you will develop your full immunity with almost no chance of encountering measles, right. In this cast what we have are vaccines that are leaky in which they do not provide full sterilizing immunity, they are narrow and um we are effectively creating an intense evolutionary pressure to cause the spike protein of which this one sub-unit is what is contained the information for it is contained in the vaccines. We are putting intense evolutionary pressure on it to change so that the antibodies and other immune cell recognition mechanisms that are trained by the vaccines are incapable of finding the pathogen when it gets in. This is what causes breakthrough cases that the immunity that’s been created is evaded by the pathogen and if the pathogen changes um that is more likely. And so what he said was if you vaccinated into an active pandemic with vaccines like this, what you will get is a evolutionary pressure for a radiation of variants, an evolutionary radiation of uh different molecular signatures changes in the spike protein that will then cause the vaccines to be less and less effective at producing immunity – which is exactly what we see."
