Not gonna make it, la'




Vivek Murthy and the rest of these clowns keep insisting the people have a right to the information that's on the CDC website and available to all as if they don't have access to it.

It's not like Rogan is the only media available. These people need to process that a significant chunk of the country defines themselves solely by reflexive opposition. The whole point is rejecting that the sum of 2 and 2 is 4.

At a glance it looks like the omicron death peak in Florida was Feb 3rd, maybe not quite a month after it peaked, in line with all the other surges/waves of covid in Florida. The other states will catch up, and the deaths will be more heavily concentrated among the unvaccinated relative to overall population.

You did what you could. Time to declare victory over Covid, obsequiously thank President Thruster for the Thruster vaccine to trigger the sh!t out of his base, and go about day.
Ain’t gonna happen.

Joe Rogan in 2024!

The question was whether the Left wants to shut down Rogan, not whether it was successful or not.

Words matter.
Nobody wants to shut him down.

Reasonable people want him to take the responsibility for the things he says on air, that influence millions.

It's not that hard, I JUST SAID IT.

As always, you look for the fringe elements, to find outrage.

Does this sound unreasonable to anyone?

How is this an overreach?

"People have the right to make their own decisions, but they also have the right to have accurate information to make that decision with."

This has been a big problem ever since Thruster declared press the enemy of the people.
People have the right to whatever information they want.

Sure they do.

But they also have the right not to be lied to about life and death matters and things our democracy depends on.

As always, you want your free speech to be consequence free speech. That's not how it works.
COVID vaccines not working work very well and cloth masks not doing much aren't lies.

lol.. vaccines work very well. you just don't like what they were designed to do - reduce the severity of the virus.
I like it quite a bit, I'm fine with it, but that ain't how it was hyped. People should have a bit of healthy (or unhealthy) skepticism. The skepticism is "The Science."

Vaccines not working well =\= vaccines not working

Masks not doing much =\= masks not doing anything


Drew Brophy wants your go fund me donation.

Spreading misinformation that vaccines are "altering your DNA code" and not working, is criminal.

I don't understand this argument

no one said we were going to cure covid

what am I missing?
The Government said getting the vaccine will help us get back to normal. Mask policies still exist. REEEE.

The rest is just children not getting their way scREEching.

Speaking of the children, I've got a meanwhile in Georgia for you!


Seventeen Georgia state senators have proposed a new bill aimed at getting rid of all routine childhood vaccination requirements.

The bill was drafted on Jan. 14 and in it, the senators hope to make it illegal to check proof of vaccination. Right now, there are eight vaccines required by the Georgia Department of Health. This includes shots to prevent diseases like measles, mumps and chickenpox.

So no responsibility on the part of the listener to be more discerning? Since when is it an established right that nobody is allowed to lie to you :unsure: :roflmao:

Do you really think that the messaging about its efficacy and how soon we could go back to normal matched the reality?

People who promote such laws are so reflexively oppositional that they would pass a law banning compulsory primary-grade education if they could. They either despise or just don't understand what it takes to be a modern, wealthy, free, 21st century nation-state on the planet Earth.

I see this with some of the State of Jefferson people. They would gladly roll the clock back 100 or more years in order to be free of the tyranny of modernity.

cognitive dissonance will not allow some people to criticize JRE, or to evaluate him with any level of objectivity

Yes TBH.

If we're going to put the onus the general public to understand that Joe Rogan is not a reliable source for much of anything definitive, I think we can hold people to the same standard when it comes to understanding vaccines, etc.

FecalFace is mad about Joe Rogan's incomplete/incorrect information, you are mad about other media's incomplete/incorrect information. As is often the case on the erBB, you are playing flip sides of the same coin.

You should place people under citizen's arrest. That would be a good Netflix series.

It's funny - the same people complaining about "how the vaccine was hyped" are the same ones telling us it's up to listeners to come to their own conclusions about Rogan's guests.

Grapedrink apparently thinks this is a very funny idea :shrug:

Anyone paying attention has known the deal this whole time.
