Whether he intended it or not, Joe Rogan has turned himself into one of America’s most influential personalities. The standup comedian and UFC commentator has spent the last decade building his Joe Rogan Experience podcast into one of the world’s most successful media properties. As such, when he speaks, he can be sure that a lot of people are paying attention.
So, when Rogan took to one of his recent shows with the claim that he’d advise younger people to not get vaccinated, his hot take immediately became national news.
“If you’re a healthy person, and you’re exercising all the time, and you’re young, and you’re eating well, like, I don’t think you need to worry about this,” Rogan explained, adding that it was “no big deal” when his own kids got COVID.
