Deadline Hollywood reports:
On Thursday’s episode of his Spotify podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan clarified controversial remarks he made, regarding vaccination against Covid-19, which Dr. Anthony Fauci took to task. “There’s some legitimate science behind [these vaccines],” he told his guest, comedian Andrew Santino. “This is the thing about this whole thing, people being upset at me: I’m not an anti-vax person.”
“I said, ‘I believe [the vaccines are] safe,’ and I encouraged many people to take them,” he explained. “My parents were vaccinated. I just said, ‘I don’t think that if you’re a young, healthy person, that you need it.’” From Rogan’s perspective, any quarrel Fauci has with him is one of semantics. “Their argument was, you need it for other people,” he continued. “That makes more sense, but that’s a different argument. That’s a different conversation.”

“I’m not a doctor, I’m a fucking moron, and I’m a cage-fighting commentator who’s a dirty stand-up comedian … I’m not a respected source of information — even for me.”
Sure seems like someone Spotify should throw all their money at … https://t.co/LvpwORBkCh
