I've not listened to or watched Rogan in years so I don't know exactly what he's been saying, but a bit of scepticism in following orders isn't exactly a bad thing, especially when it comes to a vaccine which os less than a few years old...

[Mystic Mock]

Joe Rogan is great, I don't agree with all his views on every topic but so what? What is with people these days that you can't disagree with people but still like them?

I don't know much about Joe Rogan, but I agree with you that you can still like someone without agreeing 100% with them on their views.

I tend to find that the people that can't do that are very immature.

Yeah I really don't get why some feel they have to agree on everything in order to like someone. Seems bonkers to me. Loads of my mates, or celebs I like have views I strongly disagree with but so ****ing what..

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘express concerns to Spotify’ following Joe Rogan controversy
Couple said they hope platform makes changes ‘to help address this public health crisis’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have called out Spotify for hosting “disinformation” via Joe Rogan’s podcast.
The couple, who have a deal with the company worth a reported £18m, released a statement on Sunday (30 January), in which they said they have spoken to the music platform’s bosses about their worries.
Rogan has been heavily criticised for his controversial views on the Covid-19 vaccine, with many saying he’s using his popular podcast, titled The Joe Rogan Experience, to spread false details.
This week, musician Neil Young led the charge to oppose Rogan and his views by asking Spotify to remove his music from the platform. Joni Mitchell and Crazy Horse guitarist Nils Lofgren followed suit.
In a statement, Harry and Meghan said they have been combatting Spotify’s decision to host such information since April 2021.

“Since the inception of [their non-profit organisation] Archewell, we have worked to address the real-time global misinformation crisis,” they said.
“Hundreds of millions of people are affected by the serious harms of mis- and disinformation every day.
“Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all too real consequences of Covid misinformation on its platform.
“We have continued to express our concerns to Spotify to ensure changes to its platform are made to help address this public health crisis.
“We look to Spotify to meet this moment and are committed to continuing our work together as it does.”
Their statement follows Young’s ultimatum, which saw him state: “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform … They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”

Young said Rogan’s podcast was spreading “false information” about Covid-19 vaccines that was “potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them”.
The Independent has contacted Spotify for comment

I don't know what Joe Rogan has done or said regarding vaccvine. But it looks to me like he's over the target (on the money) otherwise there wouldn't be a big deal being made of it.

If he's wrong then OK, he's wrong, however he's entitled to have his opinion. All this attempt to cancel him to shut him up says he's likely correct.

[user104658]

Biggest podcast draw so I guess you could technically argue the exclusivity comes into play... but spotify's biggest draw (by far) is still as a music service and their subscriber base wouldn't drop all that significantly even if they had no podcasts at all. The issue they'd have rather than him being a draw, is a potential boycott if they were to can his podcast.

Spotify says that it is working to add advisory warnings to any podcast on its platform that discusses Covid-19.

Seems like a sensible middle ground to me. Point out that Rogan's opinion is a layperson's opinion and not backed by science/he has no more knowledge of this than any bloke in the street. Because of course the real issue isn't what he's saying - it's that people idolise celebrities and take their word as having "more weight" than other people's when they simply don't (unless that person has actual professional experience or qualifications in that area).

[Niamh.]

What did he actually say that they're complaining about btw?

[Crimson Dynamo]

once again we are pandering to morons who cannot distinguish between a conversation between 2 people and scientific advice

the same morons who cant watch a tv show from the 70s and not realise that that program was not made today but 40 odd years ago and that every year you live things change.

I swear these "people" actually think that the "old days" were actually in black and white

:facepalm:

[user104658]

What did he actually say that they're complaining about btw?

Basically that young healthy adults should say no to the vaccine.

Yes and not Fat ones
Fat people should get the vaccine.

[user104658]

once again we are pandering to morons who cannot distinguish between a conversation between 2 people and scientific advice

To be fair, yes, from what I've seen he's not one of these ones being like "HERE is what you should do, FACT!!" ... he's generally quite clear that it's just his own thinking and opinion and that he isn't an expert.

[Niamh.]

Basically that young healthy adults should say no to the vaccine.

Thanks. I don't agree with him but that's just his opinion on it at the end of the day. I've said many times I'm pro the vaccine but I'm very anti this militant attitude towards people getting it and trying to silence anyone who says anything other than the vaccine is amazing and everyone should get it. It's not just this topic that people are acting like this over either, it's a weird Cult-ish era we're in where everyone has to follow the "accepted" opinions or you're public enemy number 1 and getting shut down (or trying to get shut down at least)

I agree, I would probably feel differently if it was like for example measles and the case that vaccination significantly impacts or even halts transmission rates. I still would never see it mandatory (I wouldn't advocate for the measles vaccine being mandatory) but I would understand the idea of shutting down misinformation for the good of public health.

As things stand with Omicron, the data shows time and time again that vaccination drastically cuts the risk of severe illness but NOT of catching and transmitting the virus ... which makes it much more a case of (for me) individual choice. Not taking it would be a STUPID choice but not a public health hazard.

[Crimson Dynamo]

At least Boris and Whitty did not put out adverts saying:

“If you go out you can spread it, people will die.”

scaring people into being pathologically against people who are unvaccinated thinking its them what kills people

oh wait they did....

Government nudge unit ‘used grossly unethical tactics to scare public into Covid compliance’

MPs launch investigation after psychologists criticise totalitarian tactics of ‘deploying
fear, shame and scapegoating’ during pandemic

The Government’s “grossly unethical” uses of its “nudge unit” inflated fear
among the public during the Covid pandemic, psychologists have said -
prompting MPs to launch an investigation into scare adverts.

A group of psychologists have written to Parliament’s Public Administration
and Constitutional Affairs Committee, warning that a team of civil servants
dedicated to “nudging” public behaviour during the pandemic were
unaccountable and unethical.

The letter’s 40 professional signatories - led by Dr Gary Sidley, a retired
clinical psychologist - said they opposed the use of dramatic adverts, which
included slogans such as: “If you go out you can spread it, people will die.”

If he's wrong then OK, he's wrong, however he's entitled to have his opinion. All this attempt to cancel him to shut him up says he's likely correct.

Personally I believe that anybody trying to cancel someone over Social Media should be banned from the platform, as nine times out of ten it can lead to bullying, harassment & even trying to harm a person's future job prospects.

People really need to start getting back into the mindset of accepting different opinions and debating those different opinions.

And I stand by this opinion even if Joe Rogan turns out to be completely wrong.

[Mystic Mock]

Thanks. I don't agree with him but that's just his opinion on it at the end of the day. I've said many times I'm pro the vaccine but I'm very anti this militant attitude towards people getting it and trying to silence anyone who says anything other than the vaccine is amazing and everyone should get it.

This.

Plus the Vaccine is brand new in Medical terms, so it's good that people are at least a little bit cautious about it before just blindly accepting/forcing people to have it.

Personally I think the Vaccine is safe (or mostly safe at least) but I can understand people's paranoia with the fact that the leaders covered up Covid existing for months, plus the WHO lying about how infectious Covid actually is once the Governments generously told us that it exists.

My point basically being can we trust anyone when it comes to Covid related matters?

[arista]

Joe Rogan says he’ll do better research on covid,
give listeners opposing views: ‘I don’t always get it right’

Younger Joe

[Oliver_W]

As things stand with Omicron, the data shows time and time again that vaccination drastically cuts the risk of severe illness but NOT of catching and transmitting the virus ...
In that case there really is no argument for making it compulsory.

Basically that young healthy adults should say no to the vaccine.
There aren't unlimited supplies of the vaccine, so it's not unreasonable to suggest that people who are statistically likely to not get too I'll from the virus should take a backseat to those who would.
