Honestly, Bret's general worldview is solid, but he has a habit of irrational dot connection that he digs-in on instead of allowing it to be modified with new info. He is a great guy, which is why people love him, but he is dead wrong about the extent of vaccine injury and Fauci 's Mafia hits.

possible, but as an adolescent addiction psychiatrist, I eat implacable snideness for breakfast. I think he sees a world falling apart and correctly diagnoses some problems, and incorrectly diagnoses others. Just as combat soldiers get battle fatigue, I think a lot of culture warriors who face real, personal consequences get a period of hyper-reactivity and "battle fatigue". I'd attach a graph if I could get this to work on my phone. They have their period of usefulness, followed by over-confidence, followed by becoming a shell of their former selves... https://lermanet.org/scientology/hubbard2percentrule.html
My issue is that most people in the general world of people who follow Jesse wouldn't tolerate "he's a great guy aside from all of the falsehoods he doggedly defends" from, say, Michael Hobbes.
sure - but he has been a valuable contributor to a lot of discussions, whereas Michael Hobbes doesn't really meet that category. I think that the data contradicts what he says, and Weinstein is doing people a disservice by not reflecting on it and modifying, I really believe he has this conclusion laid-down in his brain as solidly as a memory at this point. It's effectively a "central dogma" he is working from. In issues not related to this one, I find him a useful contributor... never said that about Michael Hobbes.

But is Bret a great guy? What if he turned his implacable snideness on you?
