Bret Weinstein on Pathogen Extinction and Lockdown Caveats
Biologist Bret Weinstein outlines a theoretical scenario where short, intense lockdowns could be justified to drive a novel pathogen to extinction before it becomes endemic. He specifies that such a measure would only be valid for a high-virulence pathogen jumping from animals to humans. However, he emphasizes that no current national or international government can be trusted with such power.
