Joe Rogan Responds To Leftists' Calls For Spotify To Deplatform Him Over So-called Coronavirus Misinformation

The liberal host of the Spotify-exclusive podcast Joe Rogan Experience, JRE, responded on Sunday, to left-wing-manufactured controversy over the open discussions about coronavirus and vaccines that he's been having with his expert guests throughout the pandemic.

Leftists online and on TV including recently President Joe Biden administration officials have been calling for Rogan to be deplatformed, alleging that the popular podcaster and his guests spread so-called dangerous 'misinformation and disinformation' about the virus and vaccines.

The push to censor Rogan intensified following his interviews with Peter McCollough and Robert Malone who worked on the development of the mRNA technology -- both distinguished expert scientists in their fields. Both doctors spoke out against the ever-changing government narratives on coronavirus, vaccines and the unnecessary mandates and lockdowns.

These open discussions on JRE angered left-wing bureaucrats, their media allies and online woke mob who do not tolerate dissent and free speech anywhere and on any issue.

Neil Young and other old musicians recently pulled their songs from Spotify to protest so-called coronavirus misinformation on the streaming platform.

"We are working to add a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes a discussion about COVID-19" Spotify Co-Founder Daniel Ek said in a statement Sunday, in response to the censorship push. "This advisory will direct listeners to our dedicated COVID-19 Hub, a resource that provides easy access to data-driven facts, up-to-date information as shared by scientists, physicians, academics and public health authorities around the world, as well as links to trusted sources. This new effort to combat misinformation will roll out to countries around the world in the coming days."

On his part, Rogan also responded on Sunday, in a video message posted on his Spotify page.

Rogan said in part

I think there’s a lot of people that have a distorted perception of what I do, maybe based on sound bites or based on headlines of articles that are disparaging. The podcast has been accused of spreading ‘dangerous misinformation,’ specifically about two episodes — a little bit about some other ones — but specifically about two. One with Dr. Peter McCullough and one with Dr. Robert Malone.

Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist, and he is the most published physician in his field in history. Dr. 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.

Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished people, and they have an opinion that is different from the mainstream narrative. I wanted to hear what their opinion is. 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.

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 could still spread COVID,’ you’d be removed from social media. They would ban you from certain platforms. Now, that’s accepted as fact.

If you said, ‘I don’t think cloth masks work,’ you would be banned from social media. Now, that’s openly and repeatedly stated on CNN. 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.

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 have been accused of [spreading] ‘dangerous misinformation.’

My pledge to you is that I will do my best to try to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people’s perspectives so we can maybe find a better point of view.
