I didn't think he admitted he was wrong. He just loftily granted that as long as the shots don't actually stop the spread, no one should be forced to take them ("It's a personal choice.") However, if there was any way that they could claim the shots were stopping, even slowing, the spread, apparently it would still be virtuous to force them on the population-regardless of injuries or death caused by them.

He went a little further than that in admitting he was wrong. Maybe not quite as far as we here would like, and the vicious words he had for the unvaccinated are reprehensible, but let's give credit where credit is due. I'm certainly still not a fan, but he has very clearly admitted he was wrong on several points (see link below) and that he would do things very differently given the chance. Also giving a platform to Ice Cube's take here is praise-worthy and a couple of years ago was unimaginable from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8vvDC2Dsjo

I watched the video (thank you for posting the link). He still tries to sophist his way out of responsibility. He's full of caveats and preposterous hypotheticals. I guess it's better than nothing. Unfortunately, he continues to harbor disdain for "ridiculous anti-vaxxers" who object to any vaccines and the Triggernometry guys go right along with him. Have they really learned anything from Covid?

Piers says “the science changed in so I changed (my view)”. Total BS. The science NEVER EXISTED and anyone who did a speck of investigation would have found that out. 4 months of testing is / was a joke. It proved nothing. Other than at month 5 the evidence that the vaccine was a failure became unavoidable.
