What EXACTLY does Joe Rogan say about Covid and is it that outrageous? The views that got vaccine-sceptic podcaster in hot water with the cancel-crowd

Comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan has hit the headlines in recent days after he was accused by singer Neil Young of 'spreading Covid misinformation' via his Spotify-hosted podcast The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).

Much of the controversy was sparked by two recent episodes of the podcast in which Rogan spoke with an acclaimed cardiologist and expert virologist, both of whom were critical of the way in which the pandemic has been handled in the US.

But Rogan, 54, has criticized the American government and the CDC's approach to the pandemic since late 2020, speaking out against vaccine mandates, vaccine passes and enforced mask wearing, while cautioning healthy young people under pressure to get jabbed.

He has also been vocal about the government's reluctance to discuss any other potential treatments of Covid-19 besides the vaccine, and questioned why public health organizations have been so quick to encourage vaccine uptake without extolling the benefits of improving one's baseline health.

The JRE is Spotify's highest-rated show, with each episode bringing over 10 million listeners, and the streaming service cut a deal believed to be worth over $100 million in late 2020 for the exclusive rights to host his podcast.

The podcaster's detractors have long decried what they perceive to be an 'anti-vaccine' stance, accusing the podcaster of discouraging people from following government guidelines around Covid.

Others meanwhile have pointed out that Rogan's words are often taken out of context and that he is simply giving people access to views and opinions - often expressed by experts - that question the official narrative of the US government. Many have also argued that the media's attempts to discredit Rogan are tantamount to censorship.

These are some of the key sentiments Rogan has expressed on the pandemic - many of which have received considerable support - amid the long-running debate over the comedian and his wildly successful show.

Rogan says big tech is censoring alternative views on vaccines and the pandemic - December 31, 2021: JRE #1757 with Dr Robert Malone

Rogan has hit out at big tech for its de-platforming of reputable individuals who presented viewpoints alternative to the official narrative, pointing to Malone's Twitter ban as an example.

'They removed [Malone] for not going along with whatever the tech narrative is because tech clearly has a censorship agenda when it comes to Covid in terms of treatment, in terms of whether or not you are promoting what they would call 'vaccine hesitancy' - they can ban you for that' Rogan said.

Malone, whose Twitter account with over 500,000 followers was suspended one day before the podcast's release, is the owner of several patents related to mRNA vaccine technology and has been involved in the development of vaccines and repurposing of drugs for several viruses.

The podcast quickly went viral as the doctor, whose career has been inextricably linked to the creation and promotion of vaccines, ripped into the way in which they have been rolled out in the US.

'I'm personally offended by watching my discipline get destroyed for no good reason at all except, apparently, financial incentives, and - I don't know - political a**-covering.

'Our government is out of control. They completely disregard bioethics. They completely disregard the federal common rule.'

Rogan questions the refusal to promote alternative treatments - December 15, 2021: JRE #1747 with Dr. Peter A. McCullough

Rogan accused the government of deliberately holding back or discouraging the use of alternative treatments for Covid, such as monoclonal antibodies, and selectively preventing some people from accessing the treatments.

'There's an unlimited supply or a very large supply, more than adequate for the entire population, of monoclonal antibodies. So what is stopping the distribution of them? Because not only have they made it difficult to get in Texas, they actually put these parameters on who gets it and who doesn't.'

Rogan also hit out at the FDA and CDC's refusal to list Ivermectin as a Covid treatment, citing the anti-parasitic drug's widespread safe usage around the world and pointing out that his own doctor prescribed Ivermectin with positive results.

Dr. Peter McCullough – an acclaimed cardiologist and highly published medical scientist - appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience shortly before Malone.

He shared Malone's view that the US government's handling of the pandemic has been abysmal, but also accused the government of actively suppressing early treatment of the virus.

'Multi-drug therapy, as an outpatient, works substantially, and we've had a giant loss of life – a giant number – millions and millions of unnecessary hospitalizations,' said McCullough.

'It seemed to me early on that there was an intentional, very comprehensive suppression of early treatment in order to promote fear, suffering, isolation, hospitalization, and death.'
