The primary membership of the "intellectual dark web" was defined by Bari Weiss'2018 article. Four of the most active members have shared their perspectives on the coronavirus.
Eric Weinstein does not say specifically who downplayed the outbreak, nor does he say which internet video was more trustworthy than the WHO. We can only speculate where Eric Weinstein gets his information, as it seems he gets all his news from Michelle Malkin, Candace Owens and James O'Keefe.

Of course, this has nothing to do with medical science and everything to do with Bret Weinstein's self-aggrandizing conspiracy theory spread by himself and his brother Eric that suggests that Bret Weinstein discovered earth-shattering in the early 2000s.
How exactly this relates to vaccine safety, or responsible communication during a pandemic, is unclear.
The only thing we know for certain is that Eric Weinstein and Bret Weinstein really believe that Eric Weinstein and Bret Weinstein are smart.
Also, it is clear that some intellectual dark webbers are a little bit more intellectual than others.

First, Eric Weinstein says somebody has been telling us that the Coronavirus is an "internet panic" (Eric does not say who said this) and then says that "1st hand videos & direct reports" are more authoritative than the World Health Organization.Eric Weinstein does not say specifically who downplayed the outbreak, nor does he say which internet video was more trustworthy than the WHO.

Then, Eric Weinstein endorses his boss, Peter Thiel, and a list of people that are mostly a list of other Silicon Valley founders venture capitalists as the "national leaders" that America needs.
Then, possibly realizing he left out any discussion regarding people actually trying to be national leader, he endorses Bloomberg as the Democrat that would be most effective in a crisis:
Which is strange, as only days before he was throwing out his "I VOTED" sticker and claiming to have voted against the Democractic gerontocracy:
Then, when Ilhan Omar points out that the Republican party's constant use of "Chinese virus","Wuhan virus" and "foreign virus" can be described as a racist dogwhistle, Eric Weinstein takes the time out of his day to call her a liar.
The Bret Weinstein approach to a pandemic
Not to be outdone by his mentally deranged older brother, Bret Weinstein cooks up his own conspiracy theories, and finds it a good time to say "I don't believe vaccines are safe"
This is a strange claim, and when pressed on this it turns out the reason Bret believes vaccines are unsafe is that he believes his paper about mouse models provided that medical science is all wrong:
