Eric Weinstein Exposes the Peer Review Scam: How COVID Blew Up a 50-Year Academic Lie
COVID didn’t just break public trust in science—it proved peer review is a manufactured myth, weaponized to gatekeep truth.
As Eric Weinstein reveals:
Peer review isn’t some ancient tradition. It wasn’t born with the Royal Society. Real scholarship shows it was invented between 1965-1975—a bureaucratic tool, not a gold standard.
The Medicare Act (1965) forced it into existence. Suddenly, the U.S. government had to pay for endless medical procedures. Doctors circled the wagons, creating “peer review” to police themselves—not ensure truth.
By 1975, the NSF weaponized it. Under pressure, they turned “peer review” into a shield—”Trust us, we’re checking each other!” No—they were protecting each other.
Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press monetized it. As journals boomed, “peer review” became fake validation for a prestige industry.
COVID was the smoking gun:
– The Lancet & Nature published fraud (Remember HCQ hysteria? Surgisphere?).
– “Peer-reviewed” journals became propaganda laundromats.
– The system rewarded groupthink, crushed dissent.
Weinstein’s verdict: Peer review is a modern con—a Potemkin process designed to simulate rigor while entrenching power.
Until we admit that, “trust the science” is just a demand for obedience. (See link for video)

**Comment**
According to Wolf, Weinstein was until 2022 managing director for the American venture capital firm Thiel Capital. Important excerpt:
Weinstein notes that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, the late publishing magnate/reputed intelligence asset Robert Maxwell, founded the scientific imprint Pergamon Press, the Oxford-based imprint that published medical books and journals, which was bought by Elsevier, which is the main scientific publishing imprint (and the advance guard scientifically for the COVID/vaccine narrative; indeed, Elsevier created a “resource hub” about COVID for “librarians, campuses and health professionals”, an oddly activist offering from what is supposed to be a neutral scientific platform).
Eric Weinstein is correct. Jeffrey Epstein did fund cutting-edge scientists and mathematicians, especially in the fields of genetics and and evolutionary biology. He even convened them via another entity, into a community under his funding structure.
In Epstein we are not just looking at a sexual blackmail operation for US and foreign political leaders and hedge fund guys.
We are also looking at a “construct” that seduced and lured scientists; that was institutionally set up to seduce and lure scientists.
It may mean that whoever was steering Epstein — was also steering our science.
That makes it a very different, very significant — perhaps culture-changing; perhaps history-changing — story. Source
