Bret Weinstein is a biologist and evolutionary theorist, and Dr. Pierre Kory is a pulmonary and critical care specialist. They have both been featured guests on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
Weinstein rose to prominence in 2017 when he and his wife, Heather Heying, were ousted from their positions as professors at Evergreen State College following controversy over a planned “Day of Absence” in which white students and faculty were asked to leave campus for a day. Since then, he has become a public intellectual and commentator on a wide range of issues, including free speech, social justice, and evolutionary biology.
Dr. Kory has been an outspoken advocate for the use of ivermectin in treating COVID-19, arguing that the drug is safe and effective and has been unfairly maligned by public health officials and the media. He has testified before Congress and other government bodies in support of the drug’s use.
In their appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, Weinstein and Dr. Kory have discussed a variety of topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the efficacy of vaccines, the use of ivermectin and other treatments, and the role of public health officials and the media in shaping the public discourse around the pandemic. They have also discussed broader issues related to science, medicine, and public policy.
