conix, That is on the line of our decision to not allow anti-vaccine misinformation. Yes he has said he is
not an anti-vaxxer, but still Rogan has contributed to people going to ivermectin instead of to vaccines.

The Rude Pundit sums him up

Don't Tell Me Not to Mock People Who Hate My Guts

And all I can say is "Don't be fucking ridiculous. Of course, we're gonna make fun of them. All of them." First, on the Ivermectin insanity, yeah, rich pricks like Joe Rogan can pay a doesn't-give-a-fuck doctor to get the human prescription version, but most of the people doing it aren't rich pricks.

They're poor and middle class pricks whose doctors are telling them, "The fuck is wrong with you? Fuck, no, I'm not prescribing the anti-lice and worm drugs for you" so they go to the ol' feed and seed and pick it up. Or, for ten bucks, some Walmarts. It's a tube of paste, for real, often apple flavored, and dumb motherfuckers are sucking it down to prevent or cure their Covid.

It's gotten so bad that the FDA and other health officials, as well as the makers of Ivermectin, Merck, have issued statements saying, more or less, "Would you dumb rednecks stop sucking down the sheep goo?"

After walking back his anti-vaccine comments he did what Carlson does. The argument that goes something like.
"Well i was only throwing it out as something to talk about" is a justification for saying about anything.

My question to you is, can you please use your platform to explain why Joe Rogan is wrong, and why we need to listen to health officials and not stand-up comedians. – Agitated Anon, 35 Sydney

Answer: Thank you for raising your concern. You need to remind yourself that people are only human and they’re terrified of getting Covid-19. They turn to the internet in their time of need, read misinformation and make the wrong decision.

Joe Rogan’s post is a clear example of why we need to fact-check misinformation and promote channels of correct communication.

Can I just say, there is a reason it takes nearly a decade to become a qualified, specialist doctor in this country. Unless a person has a real degree from a real university, do not take their health advice as gospel. I do not recommend in any shape or form that you self-medicate for Covid-19 like Joe Rogan has, and it’s frustrating I have to say that.
