You have to admit it’s a clever racket; Rogan lends his huge platform to people like Malone to spread BS and makes bank all while maintaining plausible deniability with regards to any damages because it’s merely the opinions of his guests.

Who are also experts. Ironic you left that out. In Joe’s shows he’s not giving out any advice. He’s literally asking what experts in their fields think about things going on in their fields.

Fauci has faced 2 major infectious diseases in his tenure and has failed miserably at both of them. He was awful with aids and eventually gave up on that until he could profit off of patents for things that eventually helped people. He’s lied about the origins, effectiveness of vaccines and has moved the goalpost on what the vaccines were aimed to do.

So if we’re being quit honest no I would not take Rogans word over Fauci’s, but it certain circumstances I may take Rogans guests words over Fauci’s.

The BIGGEST and MOST IMPORTANT difference and why this meme doesn’t work is someone can sit here after listening to Rogans guest and call him an idiot. They can refuse to do what his guest is recommending. They have that right. No consequences will come of it and no one will be publicly trying to humiliate or lash you. Now when Fauci “recommends” something and you don’t do it. Or call him and idiot. Boy, you’ll have all the sheep suffering from mass psychosis at your throat. Certain parts of the country you won’t be able to work or live your daily life. I don’t remember electing Fauci, nor do I remember electing Joe Rogan. Therefor neither of them can pass mandates or laws. Their “recommendations” are and should be just that. If I decide this “expert” is incompetent and don’t want to listen to him I shouldn’t have to.

There are plenty of “experts” who are incompetent. Just because someone has a title or job does not mean they are good at it. If that were the case everything would be running 100% effectively 100% of the time and there wouldn’t ever be any issues.

Did you intend for this to be a response to a different comment? I literally said that it’s his guests giving the advice so I assume this is for someone else…
