More dumbass health advice from Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan, who says he was almost vaccinated, tells others 'get vaccinated and then get sick'

Podcast mogul Joe Rogan said he isn't anti-vaccine and that he attempted to receive the COVID-19 vaccination in Las Vegas several months ago but missed the appointment because of scheduling conflicts.

Rogan said based on his experience of getting COVID-19 and recovering in a healthy fashion, the method of a person carrying antibodies doesn't have to be mutually exclusive – from natural immunity or via the vaccine – and it could be both.

"It would be better to get the virus and recover and have amazing immunity," Rogan said on the podcast. "You know what I think you should do? I think you should get vaccinated and then get sick. This is why: because then you got the vaccine protects you from a bad infection and then you get COVID so then you get the robust immunity that's imparted from having the actual disease itself."

The COVID-19 vaccine has been scientifically proven as the best possible method to slow COVID-19 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends Americans receive the vaccine. According to information provided by Kaiser Family Foundation, there have been more than 90,000 preventable COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. among unvaccinated adults and the virus was the nation's leading cause of death in September.

Rogan sounds like the kind of guy who'd have measles parties for his kids.

than the braindead argument that immunity after an actual infection is seen as stronger and therefore it's better not to get vaccinated. You have to be extremely dumb to believe that because it totally ignores that you could actually have a severe case of Covid or even die.

I kind of understand where Rogan is getting it from (studies showing a stronger protection after vaccination and then getting infected) but you should never intend to get Covid.

"If I find someone with covid will you let them spit in your mouth? You know to get the virus."

Veiled reference to South Park "Ookie Mouth" episode.

Gosh, what a shame it isn't more readily available.

Wait, it is?

Never mind.
