Joe Rogan Unloads on Critics of His Alex Jones Interview

Joe Rogan Unloads on Critics of His Alex Jones Interview

Joe Rogan's drama with Spotify has been enjoyable to watch, a nice break from the chaos consuming the 2020 election season. You just knew people were going to wild out when Alex Jones was a guest (see JOE ROGAN FINALLY ADDRESSED SPOTIFY CONTROVERSY, CHARGES OF 'TRANSPHOBIA' and JOE ROGAN INTERVIEWS ALEX JONES ON HUNTER BIDEN, SPOTIFY USERS ARE TRIGGERED BY IT). Jones touched on vaccines, a stooge from Media Matters clipped something out of context of Jones touching on vaccines, and now everyone is upset that Joe Rogan is pushing anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories.

Except that's not what happened, and Rogan is pushing back against critics who he KNEW would take things out of context.

I knew people were going to criticize the content of the podcast without even listening and I was right. That's why I fact checked every single crazy thing he said, and all of them were verified. People have said he spread “anti-covid vaccine conspiracy theories" because he said that 80% of the people who were given one of the vaccines got sick. Here's the video of Bill Gates admitting it himself. Now, I'm NOT anti vaccine, and if a safe and effective covid vaccine is created I'll take it and encourage others to take it, but I wanted to put this video up to validate what he said. He said a lot of crazy, but accurate things, and that's what I've been saying about him for years. He's most certainly fucked up in the past, but this episode and the subjects he exposed highlight why I chose to have him on.

Here's the thing: I was of the impression that being an anti-vaxxer was the acceptable position on the left. It wasn't originally, and they were even market-testing what celebrities would get you to take a vaccine. Then as we got closer to Election Day and having a vaccine for COVID might help Donald Trump, all of a sudden we shouldn't trust vaccines, the FDA, or the CDC, the latter two being the experts we were told to trust on COVID until what they were saying went against the left's preferred narrative.

Apparently it's less about what is said and more about who says. That leaves only one thing to do. Alex Jones needs to come out in support of abortion, forced unionization, and socialized medicine. If he wanted to spend the next four days campaigning for Biden-Harris, that would be okay too.
