Joe Rogan Posted A Video To His Social Media That Compared Vaccine Mandates To The Holocaust

Always knew he was a fucking complete asshole!!!!!!!!


https://uproxx.com/viral/joe-rogan-vaccine-mandates-holocaust/

Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host who would rather take horse medicine than get vaccinated (but don’t make fun of him for it, or he’ll threaten to sue), posted a video to his Instagram on Monday that compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust.

“As soon as you give politicians power, any kind of power that didn’t exist previously, if they can figure out a way to force you into carrying something that lets you enter businesses or lets you do this or lets businesses open, historically, they are not gonna give that power up,” Rogan lectured over images of “sorry, we’re closed” signs, Jesus Christ carrying a cross, and Arnold Schwarzenegger saying “I’ll be back” from The Terminator, for some reason. But most concerning is the footage of the Holocaust.

The video continues on for a minute after this, using, among other things, imagery of Hitler and Black American citizens being attacked by police as the music reaches a feverish crescendo and Rogan proclaims that anything inhibiting freedom is un-American.
The video was put together by Samuel Rivera Films, which helps “brands, businesses, and entrepreneurs tell their story.” This story involves stock footage of a bald eagle.

but at this point, anyone who still goes on about him taking horse medicine should just be ignored as well. It's a sign of ignorance and it shows the author didn't even do a minimum of research.

But we lose any standing in an argument when we claim he took horse medicine. It makes us look stupid.

For instance, the moment he felt sick, he got the antibody treatment and some other stuff besides taking Ivermectin. But in parts to all the false reporting about him taking a horse dewormer, he had to address that and it resulted in a segment that seemed to suggest to his gullible viewers that Ivermectin played a part in him getting better so fast.

But sorry for the mostly off-topic stuff.

With the intellectually dishonest Hose Medicine narrative. It's simply too damaging to the pro-vaccine side once people find out how dishonest of an argument it truly is. With all the data and evidence we have that suggests vaccines represent the best medical option at preventing COVID, why do so many feel the need to push this nonsense?
