It seems about one-third of the country takes what Dr. Anthiny Fauci says as gospel and still thinks vaccine compliance is a way to eradicate COVID-19. They clearly see people who disagree with them as “the other.” If you need proof, read the results of a
Heartland Institute/Rasumessen Reports poll released Thursday. A few highlights of the views of Democrats in Covidstan:
- 59% support a policy that would keep the unvaccinated confined to their homes except for emergencies.
- 48% think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.
- 45% favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
- 47% favor a government digital tracking program for people who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine to ensure they socially distance and quarantine.
Hopefully, Spotify will react the same way it has responded to every other attack on Rogan. The episode with Dr. Malone is still available on the platform. We need more in-depth conversations with people who have different points of view, not fewer. Undoubtedly, some of them will be proven wrong, and some will be proven right. That is called science and open inquiry. It is why Rogan’s ten million-plus listeners tune in. For Spotify, that is a massive number of customers to put at risk.
