Was just listening to this clip where one of his Sam Harris' listeners asks him why he doesn't have Bret Weinstein on his show so they can debate their "different senses of reality" on vaccines, ivermectin etc (starts about 10 min in).

It's funny how Harris has evolved from promoting these people like Weinstein and Joe Rogan to totally denouncing them in the space of a year or so.
Towards the end he mentions something that is pretty shocking which is that in spite of being the country that bought up and hoarded the global supply of mRNA vaccines and it being as easy as walking down to the local pharmacy to get vaccinated, the USA is now only #37 in terms of vaccination rate.
Poor developing countries like Mongolia now have a higher vaccination rate than the USA, and unfortunately I don't think you can dismiss the role of reflexive contrarianism and pseudo-intellectual misinformation in all this.
