He has a different opinion than those men do. Sanjay Gupta, who I respect very much, and I really enjoyed our conversation together. That’s one of the reasons why I had Sanjay Gupta on, Dr. I’m not interested in only talking to people that have one perspective. And I’m interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions. I’m interested in finding out what the truth is. I try to correct it because I’m interested in telling the truth. I get things wrong, but I try to correct them. “I’m just a person who sits down and talks to people and has conversations with them. All of those theories that at one point in time were banned, were openly discussed by those two men that I had on my podcast that had been accused of dangerous misinformation.” If you said I think it’s possible that COVID-19 came from a lab, you’d be banned from many social media platforms – now that’s on the cover of Newsweek. Now that’s openly and repeatedly stated on CNN. If you said, I don’t think cloth masks work, you would be banned from social media. “The problem I have with the term misinformation, especially today is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact, like, for instance, eight months ago, if you said, ‘if you get vaccinated, you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID,’ you’d be removed from social media, they would they would ban you from certain platforms. “I had them on and because of that, those episodes in particular, those episodes were labeled as being dangerous, they had dangerous misinformation in them,” Rogan continued. Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished people and they have an opinion, that’s different from the mainstream narrative. Robert Malone owns nine patents on the creation of mRNA vaccine technology and is at least partially responsible for the creation of the technology that led to mRNA vaccines.

Peter McCullough is a cardiologist, and he is the most published physician in his field in history. “The podcast has been accused of spreading dangerous misinformation, specifically about two episodes, a little bit about some other ones, but specifically about two,” Rogan said. He said that he focuses on simply just having conversations with interesting people and trying to learn from them. Rogan said that a lot of people have a “distorted perception” of what he does based on misleading media coverage. Rogan posted the video late on Sunday night on Instagram after Spotify, which is where he hosts his show, released a statement earlier in the day announcing new actions that the company would take “to combat misinformation.” Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told CNBC Thursday he felt good about his handling of the controversy, claiming he had done what medical professionals had asked him to, referring to measures he outlined Sunday to “combat misinformation,” such as adding a content warning to episodes about Covid-19.Joe Rogan, host of the wildly popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” responded directly on Sunday night to the political Left’s attempts to cancel him in recent weeks over a couple of episodes where he had on medical professionals and scientists who challenged the mainstream narrative on matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rogan apologized for the controversy on Sunday, acknowledging his podcast has become an “out-of-control juggernaut,” and said he will “balance things out” moving forward. Rogan’s podcast reaches an estimated 11 million people per episode, making it Spotify’s most popular show. The latest controversy is a significant test for Spotify, which reportedly spent more than $100 million in 2020 to bring Rogan’s show to the streaming service from YouTube. Medical professionals have also raised concerns about Rogan’s platforming of Covid-19 misinformation. Joni Mitchell, Dave Crosby and Stephen Sills are among a growing list of artists who have followed Young’s lead and requested their content be removed. Young has been joined by a number of musicians. Last month, rock star Neil Young asked Spotify to remove his music from the platform as a protest over the airing of false information about Covid-19 vaccines on the Joe Rogan Experience. TangentĪs of April, Spotify had removed more than 40 episodes of Rogan’s podcasts, including one with far-right activists Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin Mcinnes, since its 2020 deal with Rogan to host his podcast.

Joe Rogan and Spotify did not immediately respond to a Forbes request for comment.
