Vice News reports:
Joe Rogan has belatedly apologized after doing an entire segment about a clearly fake and intentionally absurd tweet about vaccines which was attributed to a doctor. Rogan ultimately pulled the segment from the episode where it appeared, but Dr. Natalia Solenkova, an intensive care doctor based in Florida, is still facing a deluge of harassment over the faked tweet and has made her account private.
He accused her of “having the most uncharitable view of people who didn’t get vaccinated,” including himself. “The idea that you wouldn’t be upset that you were duped into injecting actual poison… is so insane.” Even if the absurd sentiments in the tweet weren’t enough of a red flag, the tweet’s date was formatted incorrectly, and its character count was 100 over the limit allowed by the app. None of that, of course, was a deterrent for Rogan.

I was informed last night that this tweet is fake. The show was already out, so we initially decided to post a notice saying we got tricked, then later thought it best to just delete it from the episode.
My sincere apologies to everyone, especially the person who got hoaxed. https://t.co/GOeVjGMH7x— Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 5, 2023
@Twitter @TwitterSupport Dr. Natalia is being impersonated (her photo stolen and a fake tweet made) and harassed. Please watch this video for a summary and remedy the situation. Thank you pic.twitter.com/lTEmpwQ3r5

Huge right wing accounts and even other doctors fell for this ridiculous, clearly photoshopped tweet and amplified it to millions. Now Dr. Natalia is facing serious career harm because Joe Rogan and so many others on the right fell for this obvious false post pic.twitter.com/AMLD0zu9Xo

Hi Joe, have you given any consideration to how you are so easily mislead? The tweet was longer than 240 characters and the date at the bottom was wrongly formatted. Basic due diligence and fact checking would have prevented this.
You could hire fact checkers.
