Joe Rogan backpedals after telling young Americans not to get COVID vaccine

Joe Rogan backpedaled Thursday on his claim that healthy young Americans don’t need to get vaccinated against COVID-19 — insisting he’s “not an anti-vaxx person.”

On his popular podcast “Joe Rogan Experience,” the 53-year-old comedian downplayed his own credibility after his comments sparked outrage on social media and a response from Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I just lost respect for Joe. People need to stop bowing down to the mob.

Best way to lose all of your credibility as a talk show host is to change your opinion.

They always bow down to the mob. So, Joe, now you can hear about all of the consequences on young people of getting the Gates Jab. You had it right the first time - they would have been better off risking the China flu.

He didn’t need to be so self-deprecating but he didn’t bow down. He re-stated that he just thought young, healthy people didn’t need it.

He is being paid $100 million by Spotify.

He who pays the gold calls the tune.

Joe thought he was free, and is finding out the shackles of gold are just as tight as before.

Never saw the fascination with Rogan. I was proven right when he sold out to Spotify. And now this. You are NUTS if you vaccinate your kids with them especially girls. Joe is the exact kind who will vote Democrat in Texas.

That’s also not what he said.

He did backpedal slightly but I think it was more of a clarification.

The media was reporting exactly what the author of this article is saying...

That he said “they should not get vaccinated “

He didn’t say that. He said if a 21 year old in good health , who worked out and took vitamins asked Joe is he should get the vaccine....Joe would tell him “no”.

That is a big difference.

He clarified that is what he said and not what everyone else is reporting he said. He added that he is not a doctor and doesn’t know what he is talking about and could be convinced otherwise but he did not apologize or take back what he originally said.

Of course he will.

He is also pro 2nd, pro drug, half woke, and paid for.

Joe is an interesting person in that he is a gateway for a lot of team blue people to see red views. That includes Joe himself.

End of the day, it is more of the IDEAS we need to spread. If both parties start respecting the 2nd, then “we” win.

Fauci is making a pretty good argument for QUARANTINING IN ISOLATION ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEE’S NATIONWIDE until this Scamdemic is over.

He’s always been a lefty, just not a commie and sensible on a few issues.

It seems that everyone posting here is making comments about something they know nothing about.

I would highly recommend to listen to the episode with Dave Smith that caused the controversy. Dave is a right leaning Libertarian and is very interesting to listen to.

He makes great points about how the lockdowns have effectively cancelled the Bill of Rights and we are screwed unless we immediately repudiated the actions of the government over the past year.

He's an entertainment industry nitwit, but he's always been willing to "go there". I doubt he'll suffer any negative consequences from this -- but it could be a tip of the iceberg thing, the beginning of another campaign against him, because one remembers how the woke nitwits inside Spotify wanted his archives censored.

The self deprecating and pushback gave the writer of the story her OPINION that everyone is keying on. Quotation marks matter. This is how narrative is shaped and spread. I think people (myself included) need to dig deeper into what is truth, subjective, objective, opinion and outright fake news.

Precisely.

Most of media is now at this point.

Information...through a(corp./political/other)filter.

Joe Rogan is all over the place anyway...as long as he can continue to live large(financially)and smoke weed he will take no personal stance on anything from here on out(unle$$ told to do $o).

Find your own truth, don't rely(solely)on ANY of these talking heads.

The media, having destroyed Trump, now casts about daily looking for someone, anyone, who they can vilify; all for the purpose of cheap clickbait “”journalism”.

“Real journalism” is a dead thing within the mainstream and now confined to a few persons out on the periphery, beyond the Twitter Ort Cloud of Wokeness.
