When Mike Rowe was asked by a fan this week why he hadn't urged his followers to get vaccinated against the Wuhan coronavirus, he took to Facebook to issue a full explanation of his rationale.
"The short answer is no - I have not publicly encouraged anyone to get vaccinated," Rowe said in his post. "In fact, I have recently declined to participate in several PSA's designed to persuade people to get the jab."
Rowe clarified that his decision to turn down pro-vaccine PSAs was "not because I’m opposed to vaccines, obviously," he said, adding "vaccines have saved more lives than any other advancement in the long history of medicine, and to your point, I got the shots the minute I was eligible."
Showing self-awareness rare among his contemporaries Rowe noted that he's "not a doctor, Steve, and even though I occasionally play one on TV, I’m not inclined to dispense medical advice to the people on this page."

Ecclesiastes 10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
And anything coming from the CDC, the Government, and the Main Stream Media, stinks. And their reputation has fallen to the level of common con-men, thieves, and liars.
“…get the FDA on board, stat, and then, provide an honest, daily breakdown of just how quickly the virus is spreading among the unvaccinated, versus the vaccinated.”
That cat is out of the bag. There is no way these bureaucrats can easily regain credibility. I had covid, it was bad for about two-three days, beyond that, it would not have kept me home from work. This virus only kills people who are already compromised, but they have promoted it as anyone who gets it dies. I will not get the vaccine, and I don’t care how much our government replicates 1933 Nazi’s.
The Blue state governors have already made their sacrifice of the elderly to Moloch. The numbers were going to change, no matter what.
This whole thing reeks of dishonesty.
Mike Row displays his usual clear-headed thinking and ability to communicate, as well.
The Lies, Obfuscation, Ever-Changing Goal Posts, etc...should be a Clarion Call to the Bureaucrats Duplicity.
No thinking individual aware of the ever-shifting criteria would take any of those people at their word for anything at all. Only a complete fool would trust a word that comes out of their mouths.
If Rowe was a conservative he could almost, almost replace Rush.
Love his voice.
Love his podcasts.

Mike Rowe’s Dirty Lies

Mike Rowe—the famous real man, dirty-jobbing, tough guy—is trying to pioneer a new lane in political discourse: anti-anti-anti-vaxx.
In a Facebook post this week, Rowe decided to answer a question from one of his fans. The gentleman asked why, since Rowe had gotten a COVID vaccine, he had not used his platform to urge others to do so.
Rowe’s response is worth reading in full, because it is either an example of despicable dishonesty or breathtaking stupidity.
Rowe begins his explanation by saying, “I’m not a doctor, Steve, and even though I occasionally play one on TV, I’m not inclined to dispense medical advice to the people on this page.”
I think he could walk in to the Calif. Governors office if he had run in the recall.
Stop it... NO one could ever replace Rush. The Maha Rushi was a one time deal.
I am in the age group that is most susceptible to this virus and yet I feel so firmly that this "vaccine" madness must end that I will not be pushed into it. I informed my children and grandchildren tonight that is how I feel and I was shocked to hear them all tell me that they were in full agreement with me. I really expected an argument.
These daily covid stories are having the value of Pravda stories in the Soviet Union. Russian citizens assumed exactly the opposite of what the story said must be the truth. Some were shocked when they made it to the US and saw there actually were ghetto areas (after touching down in NY). They assumed that if Pradva ran a story how America had ghettos, every street must be paved with gold and all houses were stately mansions.
Just a steady flow of verifiable data that definitively proves that the vast, undeniable, overwhelming majority of people who get this disease are unvaccinated.
——————-——————-——————-——————-
Therein lies the rub. They can’t do that. Because they’ve been lying to us about everything since Day 1. Any and every doctor or public health person, that challenges the Fauci-Birx-Gates Quo is assaulted by an army of Leftist, so they’ll never provide verifiable data. They have been. And their data has been proven to be……not so reliable and verifiable.
As Mike Roe said, this is the very same army that stated they wouldn’t take any treatment under the previous administration, but now treat the shots as if someone was drinking from the Holy Grail.
And now we have the new director of the CDC who can’t keep her story straight and comes out saying that the shots won’t prevent you from getting the ‘Rona but will ensure you won’t spread it. I’m pretty sure everything about her statement is wrong and defies every principle of medicine known to man.
I’d like to ask….Are they effin’ insane?…..but I can’t because we all know they are insane and becoming increasingly desperate.
On a side note, I read that only 64% of folks in NYC have got the shots and they’re having a tough time thinking it’ll ever get higher than that.
Exactly. If the government hadn’t lied many times in the past I’d be inclined to trust them today.
If big corporations like Big Pharma hadn’t lied many times in the past I’d be inclined to trust them today.
If the media hadn’t lied many times in the past I’d be inclined to trust them today.
To tell the truth would mean they might have to give up all the power they amassed with their lies.
They aren’t about to give up any of that power no matter how many people die.
You nailed it.
That’s the baseline problem with everything that has been, is, and will be wrong with this country.
“...data that started from January...”
Is THAT the origin of the 99% figure? I’d missed that.
I shouldn’t be surprised.
“...I read that only 64% of folks in NYC have got the shots and they’re having a tough time thinking it’ll ever get higher than that.”
Ironically, based upon data I’ve seen the unvaccinated are overwhelmingly minorities (mostly black).
Yes, I heard the 99% number being breathlessly quoted a couple of weeks ago (by Psaki, the MSM, etc). And then, later, someone pointed out that these numbers were from the first 4 months of the year - when very few people had been vaccinated. The context, when Psaki and the MSM were reporting the 99% numbers, made it sound like it was current data (i.e., from mid, or late, July). It wasn't a blatant lie - but effectively it was lying.
