Joe Rogan's fate represents a critical juncture for the pandemic [View all]
Joe Rogan's CV-19 positive status is a unique moment. He seems to be the incarnation of every Republican false hope, exaggerated claim, misguided effort, and downplayed risk in one tattooed package.

If Rogan succumbs to CV-19, it could be the final wake-up call to those with aligned beliefs.
If Rogan pulls through, he will instead be just another example alternative "thinkers" can point to. As we know, random anecdotal information that comes from within the trusted conservative network can hold more weight to insiders than rigorous studies from "outsider" scientists.
While I have no reason to wish the man harm, could his untimely demise actually steer the course of the pandemic and ultimately save lives?
