JRE doesn't have open debates between pro/anti vaccine guests. He gives 3+ hours of air time to vaccine conspiracy theorists with very little pushback. It's easy to get swayed by a contrarian opinion if that's the only one you hear.

Any siloed communication will do that and it’s not just contrarian opinions, it’s any opinion.

So are these people are only forced to listen to JRE? Does Spotify have other podcasts that prevent a contrary opinion to JRE?

Sanjay Gupta was on for 2+ hours. I’m sure you’d agree that’s an opposing view. Even Gupta couldn’t put up a sound argument. So what’s your point?
