Bret Weinstein: I didn't understand that I appear to have a vaccine injury

"I mean, I didn't understand that I appear to have a vaccine injury. I have a profound allergy to wheat. There's no reason I should have an allergy to wheat. I'm an Ashkenazi Jew. My people have been eating wheat for thousands of years. What happened? Well, an adjuvant happened. Well, I happen to have wheat in my gut, because of course everything contains wheat.
My children have allergies to things that they shouldn't be alerted to, right? I'm, let's put it this way, I never thought vaccines were safe. I thought they were safe enough. I thought the cost benefit analysis was positive for them. When my children were born, Heather and I looked at each other and we said, what are we going to do about this? These things are not safe. And we said, okay, the rational thing to do is to postpone the injections in each case as long as possible.
And the reasoning for that was very sound. The older you are when you get them, the more of your development is behind you already, the less disruptive they will be if something goes wrong. So we did that. So what that tells you, my children are now 18 and 20, tells you two decades ago, we were already on alert that these things had potentially serious negative implications and we were trying to minimize them.
That level of caution wasn't nearly strong enough for me to protect my own children. I fell down on the job as a father because I didn't actually check all the assumptions then. Now, of course, you can't check every assumption in your life. You'd be paralyzed. So, you know, yeah, I should have known that that one needed special scrutiny and I didn't do it."
