This. Rogan has had numerous pro-vax mandate doctors and guests on the show.

These scientists are free to ask to come on the JRE and share their views.

It seems unreasonable that listeners shouldn’t be allowed to hear any other viewpoints.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask someone to come on the show if they feel misinformation is being spread. A simple list of inaccuracies should suffice.

Here "other viewpoints" means advising to take poisonous, non-FDA-aproved, ineffective horse tranquilizer instead of real medicine to fight a deadly disease during a pandemic.

[injb]

Who advocated taking horse tranquilizer?

[uavinagigglem8]

Are you referring to ivermectin?

[DannyCasolaro]

What, you haven't heard of the ketamine early treatment protocols?

[uavinagigglem8]

Hah. I’m might need to get in on that protocol

This kind of framing of the “information marketplace” is really really naive. It’s a good sound byte because “who could be against the free expression of ideas” but assumes a world without market distortions caused by people with disproportionate reach and impact.

It’s really really stupid for someone with a huge audience to bring on an anti-vax nut job and uncritically interview them because simply being on the show at all lends their message legitimacy — “this person who I trust to curate content says this is a voice worth listening to.”

The message isn’t “you shouldn’t be allowed to listen to their viewpoints” but “what the fuck Joe, you basically endorsed these idiots and people actually listen to you.”

There's no shortage of media in the information marketplace promoting the pro-vaccine, pro-mask, and pro-lockdown points of view.
