Joe Rogan and CNN's Sanjay Gupta Argue Over COVID Vaccine

Joe Rogan had a super-interesting convo with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta … it was confrontationally civilized.

The good Doc was clearly on a mission to counter Rogan’s message about the COVID vaccine. “The Joe Rogan Experience” is a huge platform — 200 million downloads per month — so Gupta was clearly there to challenge Joe over not getting the shot.

Rogan made it clear — he’s not anti-vaccine. In fact, he says he made an appointment to get the shot but ended up a no-show. As for why … Rogan said, “I’m a healthy person, I exercise constantly, I’m always taking vitamins, I take care of myself.”

Gupta was gentle, but clear — asking Rogan if it’s better to have the virus than to become infected. Rogan, who got COVID, conceded it was no fun going through it, but added he’s been sicker with a bad cold.

That doesn’t address the fact more than 700,000 people in the U.S. have died from COVID, and Joe agreed certain people — including the elderly and the overweight — should get jabbed, but not everyone.

Then Joe dropped a theory that stunned Sanjay … “I think it would be better to get the vaccine and recover and have amazing immunity … you know what I think you should do? I think you should get vaccinated and then get sick … the vaccine protects you from a bad infection and you get COVID so you get robust immunity … get vaccinated, let it wane and hang around with a bunch of dirty people.”

Gupta made it clear …. the win is for someone not to have the virus at all, and that’s what the vaccine does.

And, then Rogan called out CNN for saying he was taking “horse medicine.”   Joe did say last month he had taken ivermectin, but clearly has issues the way it was reported.
