Joe Rogan Shares Incorrect Coronavirus Story Just 24 Hours After Apology

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

About 24 hours after apologizing and promising to “have all the pertinent facts at hand” when discussing the coronavirus pandemic, Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan tweeted and then deleted an incorrect story about the drug ivermectin.

The medication has become a cause in right-wing media circles and Rogan ― one of its biggest backers ― tweeted: “Well lookie here” along with a story claiming the drug was effective against omicron in a phase III clinical trial.

That turned out to be incorrect and the story was updated.

Although Rogan deleted his tweet, he did not issue any kind of correction or followup statement. However, his tweet was preserved online by several people, including CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale:

4. Joe Rogan is a vile human being...

Spotify clearly did not vet him well, and currently the the media is not researching his background content either...

But, in past years... He's posted outrageously disgusting content.... Including, a time when he was obsessing about a viral bestiality snuff film. I won't post further details about that, because I would not want my friends here to accidentally discover it.

He's cultivating an audience of the most disgusting people in our society... Ironic, because his same audience that loves his stuff wants to ban books in schools.

His company is now worth $4B.
