>> And people said do you think it's safe to get vaccinated? I've said, yeah, I think for the most
part, it's safe to get vaccinated, I do, I do. >> He was doing so well if he just stopped here,
however. >> But if
you're 21 years old and you say to me, should I get vaccinated?
I go, no. >> And boom goes the dynamite.
>> Are you healthy? Are you a healthy person? Look, don't do anything stupid,
but you should take care of yourself. You should, if you're a healthy person and you're exercising
all the time when you're young and you're eating well, I don't think you need to worry about this.
>> So bad and so wrong on so many different levels, Rogan saying this.
>> You know what? In some states thousands of people nobody, nobody young,
below the age of 18, nobody. They have a strong immune system, who knows.
>> Is the same energy and incompetent white supremacist president gives off.
>> This is my COVID protection. Make America healthy again, it's time to fire Foutch.
That is not COVID protection you total moron. That is wrong.
>> Conspiracy theorists nutjob Marjorie Taylor green,
same energy as Rogen, infighting COVID. >> And this is particularly important for
our athletes who put themselves through quite a bit of exertional stress on the playing field.
Where exercise can be a trigger for something like an arrhythmia or cardiac
arrest. If there is inflammation in the heart muscle called myocardium,
>> Even if in shape, the virus does not somehow ignore the healthy and fit, Joe.
>> And I can tell you as someone who's both my children got the virus.
It was nothing, no big deal. No coughing, no achy, no agony,
there was none of that. It was very mild. >> Look, I'm happy your kids did not have
terrible side effects, unfortunately that's not the case for everyone's kids. As we've discussed
previously, recent high school graduate, Eli Sevener, was a pitcher on his high school team.
His brother tweeted, he had been taken off life support due to complications stemming
from Coronavirus. California University of Pennsylvania defensive lineman Jamain Stephens Jr.
died from a blood clot in his heart, after he contracted COVID 19,
he was just 20 years old. Varsity football player Mack Bowman returned home from a five day stay at
Helen DeVos children's hospital where he was treated for MIS-C.
He developed the inflammatory condition roughly a month,
after testing positive for COVID. This was in November, his positive test was in October.
Key Shawn Perry just 14, saw his condition worsen, even after four negative COVID tests.
Doctors would eventually diagnose Key with COVID, but that would prove to be only the beginning.
They found another problem he had developed, myocarditis. We find more myocarditis and athletes
because they tend to be better screened. When kids and teens come to us asking to return to highly
competitive sports, we're more aggressive in evaluating their cardiac condition. And I believe
that's the reason we're finding more myocarditis, in this population, said Perry's doctor.
These are countless examples, none of which it seems reached Rogan. Dr. Anthony Fauci, responded.
>> So you have to put a little bit of societal responsibility in your choices.
And that's why I disagree with Mr. Rogan. >> And even if you don't have any symptoms,
you're propagating the outbreak, because it is likely that you,
even if you have no symptoms, that you may inadvertently and innocently, then
infect someone else who might infect someone, who really could have a problem with a severe outcome.
So if you wanna only worry about yourself and not society, then that's okay. But if you're
saying to yourself, even if I get infected, I could do damage to somebody else, even if
I have no symptoms at all. And that's the reason why you've got to be careful and get vaccinated.
>> But this just ain't enough to convince Rogan, apparently.
>> But it's amazing, that's controversial. >> Yeah.
>> That even saying that I'm not going toing to inject my child with the vaccine is controversial.
>> Yeah. >> It's crazy,
because again we are not talking about even the food.
>> What he's doing is just like his attacks on trans-kids and Colin Kaepernick. It's displays
he shows no empathy. He thinks because it does not affect him the way it did say,
Torrin Howard at Connecticut, who died of COVID at just 26 years old. To Rogan, it's unrelatable
to show the compassion, as the United States through a failed administration's lack of care
for its citizens that had no plans other than saying, it will disappear or it's not a big deal.
Families are torn apart through the death of loved ones, and or the politicization of science.
If you're a person who has to be waiting whether or not to get a vaccine because
Joe Rogan told you not to, let's remember that after a turn on the seriously underrated News
radio, Joe Rogan rose to fame by hosting fear factor and commentating on MMA.
Where he called reporter Maggie Hendrix a see you next Tuesday. And then apologize by calling her a
B word. He let Alex Jones spread his right wing lunacy on his show,
including his BS takes on masks and COVID. He encouraged Tulsi
Gabbard to run for President. He rails against cancel culture.
The Spotify staff thanks he's transphobic. Even Caitlyn Jenner has called him out for being a
bigoted jerk. Even if Rogan solidified a $100 million deal with Spotify to carry his podcast,
his anti-Vax, anti-science comments, in return,
are penniless. If you'd like to hear more thought provoking content, like TYT sports on Facebook.
