Summary
(Well, I spaced on posting part 2 of this, so I'm posting the patron cut of parts 2-3 together to make it up to yous. Sorry about the delay!)
Dr. Eric Jaffe was so appalled by Bret Weinstein's idiotic takes on matters of basic biology surrounding COVID and the vaccines, that he wondered how Bret could possibly have the PhD that he does. Well, what Eric found was... weird.
For patrons, I'm putting 454 and 455 together as one for convenience. The next post will just be for charge purposes.

| 0:25.1 | make sure you do we're gonna continue with Dr. Eric Jaffey on Brett Weinstein and |
| 0:30.5 | dig into hoo hoo hoo hoo foo his graduate thesis and how in the world he has a PhD in evolutionary |
| 0:38.9 | biology and even if that is a legitimate thing he has, it doesn't grant him the expertise to opine on vaccines and |
| 0:48.3 | COVID like he has been. |

| 1:33.8 | Bilmar was so terrible that you did a little digging into his past career and |
| 1:38.5 | we're curious what you found. Yeah and I just want to make this point very clear, right? Like I'm not trying to drag anyone just for the sake of dragging. What I'm more trying to elucidate here is that expertise has a nested hierarchy. And so when I'm talking about viruses, I have research experience both dealing with |
