This compares to 67 cases of myocarditis per million in the same time following their second dose of Pfizer.’”

Yeah, so you’re about eight times likelier to get myocarditis from getting Covid than from getting the vaccine,” Zepps pointed out.

Rogan doesn't have a clue what he is talking about with covid and the people who do keep telling him so, yet he continues to spread disinformation and to give Dr. Robert Malone a platform to spread his quack theories.



Once again, Rogan spreading disinformation.
That shows the exact opposite of what you think it does. Rogan read a statement, and his guest followed up with his knowledge on the subject. How, in any way, is that spreading “misinformation”?

Apparently, it is (was?) playing hell with Spotify customer service.

According to a couple of reports on Twitter, Spotify has been overwhelmed by requests to cancel and live customer support requests such that it has ground to a halt.

MainStreet Law's Tristan Snell says Spotify is no longer letting people cancel their subscriptions, stating:

Spotify is no longer letting people cancel subscriptions. Their customer service system is completely overwhelmed. People asking to cancel are being told they cannot. Presumably Spotify will allow cancellations again at some point once their system is not so flooded.

Did you look at the names who sent out that "open letter from the scientific community"?

The vast majority seem to be nurses and people with titles like "Clinical Coach Consultant, CVS Health/Aetna." They are not prominent or leading research scientists, let alone doctors. None are known people. So how does this self-selected example of a few hundred mainly nurses get to represent the entire "scientific community"?

Just to ask. Because claiming that these names represent the scientific community in its totality is a perfect example of disinformation.

He's trying to get his name back in the mainstream as well. He rode the hippie wave less century and he'll ride the the cult of forgotten celebrities for all it's worth.

Until he

1 - Explains to his audience that Dr. Robert Malone is a discredited quack full of baseless theories,

2 - makes sure they understand that he was wrong about the cardiac issue and that they are far more likely to experience cardiac events from covid than from the immunization - even the young males,

3 - and encourages them to get immunized for the sake of themselves and others around them,

he is spreading disinformation.

He could do a special podcast where he straightens everything out. He could even have a real scientist or two on the show. But I doubt that would ever happen. Not his style.

Theatre.
Because he wanted the ultimatum, I suppose.

People who are less famous want theirs too. Lots of folks want ultimatums these days.

India Arie criticized Spotify for the low pay artists allegedly receive from the platform, writing: "paying musicians a Fraction of a penny? And HIM $100M?"


She wants more money. If they offered her a million dollar contract, she'd be shilling her album on Joe Rogan's podcast to get more publicity.

Good grief.

How many more bandwagoneers will pop up seeking their 15-minute jump start to their careers???

I have to be honest, I'm in my late twenties and I've never heard of anyone that has said they're leaving Spotify.

Maybe it's because I'm not in the loop. I don't stream any music, nor have I ever.
