I love how an old musician thinks he's more informed than the medical professionals Rogan is taking to.
It's not like the media or government would lie about vaccines is it?

    Why are a bunch of has-been musicians trying to dictate to everyone else what they should and should not be allowed to listen to? How did they become so arrogant to think they should have this power? I think they've overdosed on their own PR. It's fine for them to have an opinion. Its fine for them to make that opinion known. It's not fine to try to shut down speech that they don't agree with. My aversion to their actions has nothing to do with whether their opinion is right or wrong. It has to do with freedom. When you make it impossible to air an opposing opinion, you threaten our core values.

The point is to vaccinate those that CAN be vaccinated and to stop the spread of the disease. If I remember correctly the term for this is herd immunity(?) correct me if I'm wrong.

Vaccines strengthen the immune system, but not all of us have the same immune system, which is why some develop the disease, although it is mild. However, others with a poor immune system are at risk of complications or death.

The point of the vaccination is introducing a weaker strain of the virus so that you can build resistance to it. We need people to get vaccinated so that lockdown's will lessen.

                  The purpose of the lockdowns was to stop the spread of the virus and stop it from mutating. While yes the virus was initially weak the problem was that it was very infectious. The more people get infected, the greater the chances that the virus mutates thus developing more dangerous symptoms.

                  But at this point with the dumbassery people are pulling out their ass to justify to not wearing a mask or just simple vaccination, might as well have all this lockdown and pray you ain't the one that's gonna die.

                    Also the point (and what politicians care about) is to not overrun the hospitals. With 9 in 10 people in intensive units being those that were not vaccinated it makes it a non-starter to even discuss the issue.

                    What a stupid f@ing topic we -as a society- made trending. That's why one should never trust the public, they always care about the stupidest kind of stuff.

I don't think you should be censored but corrected. Cause I believe when you spread wrong info, others may have the same idea as you but dare not voice their opinion, so in correcting you , others benefit also. At the end of the day, when it comes to COVID, different countries have different rules. Some don't count asymptomatic covid cases or test everyone with symptoms, some were strict at beginning but have removed most covid rule. All these countries say their regulations are based on science. So who is correct?

Vaccination does prevent disease (just look up WHO and CDC website). Some vaccination have very low efficiency. E.g. BCG. Some have to be taken yearly like flu vaccine cause of different variants. All of these vaccines are to prevent high incidence of diseases among the populace.

To get the worst end of the deal when get sick in it can be in same spot with the common flu. My brother was sick in it and was vaxxed 3 times. I have a lot of friends and family friends who have got sick in it from all ages being young or old while being vaxxed.

                            Vax dont solve the problem. It maybe only helps you to get trough it less painfully but it also dont guarantee it. Also you still spread the virus when your vaxxed and also the chance to get the virus is higher to get it from people who are vaxxed. Mostly cause vaxed people can travel and get in places where are lots of people while the people who are not vaxed there moving places to play are limited

The very worst part of the physicians possible that you should not believe anything they say for. Same with the authorities who have to say the info that they are told to that is manipulation only.

Everybody from the second step onward is a burden on society and the healthcare system. If they haven't done the bare minimum to protect themselves, then it's their fault and they should be held accountable for it. Those who promote such an attitude also should be held accountable for it.
