Joe Rogan wades into the anti-vaccination narrative on his Spotify podcast

Joe Rogan, one of the world's highest paid and most popular podcast hosts, is giving air to anti-vaccine narratives.

On his Spotify (SPOT) exclusive podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan told listeners that if a 21-year-old asked him if they should get vaccinated, he would suggest no.

...

Since signing Rogan to a licensing deal reportedly worth more than $100 million, Spotify is no stranger to controversy spurred by the star's remarks. Rogan apologized in September for spreading misinformation about the West Coast fires.
Spotify did not respond to a request for comment about Rogan's recent episode.

I have cancelled my Spotify account. I won't pay for rich assholes to spread conspiracy theories that kill people.
