Whether people like it or not, when Joe Rogan talks, fans listen. He has arguably the most popular podcast in the world, The Joe Rogan Experience and on the show, he isn't afraid to tackle just about any topic. Of course, with the ongoing pandemic, Rogan hasn't shied away from his true feelings. According to the podcaster, if you're young and healthy, there is simply no need for the vaccine, "If you’re like 21 years old, and you say to me, ‘Should I get vaccinated?’ I’ll go no. If you’re a healthy person, and you’re exercising all the time, and you’re young, and you’re eating well, like, I don’t think you need to worry about this,” he said, adding that both of his children got covid-19 and it was “no big deal.”

Of course, not long after, there was a storm on social media, with fans split. A lot of them went after Rogan and his intelligence, which would cause him to issue yet another statement for clarification, "I'm not an anti-vax person," Rogan said. "I believe they're safe and encourage many people to take them. " Rogan would go on to say that he isn't a doctor nor is he a specialist on the matter. Despite his words, Twitter had a feast over his recent words.

Yup, Rogan got roasted alright, and that even included a White House representative that this to say, "Did Joe Rogan become a medical doctor while we weren’t looking?” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield told CNN. “I’m not sure that taking scientific and medical advice from Joe Rogan is perhaps the most productive way for people to get their information.”

That was just the start of it, as several users took to Twitter, putting Rogan on blast.

Interestingly enough, other fans were putting the media on blast for taking Bill Gates' advice on vaccines, who in turn, is just as qualified as Joe Rogan on the subject.

Of course, fans would also object to the statement, stating, "Bill Gates has spent the past 20 years working with doctors on creating and distributing vaccines, especially to the neediest around the world. He's NOT a doctor, but he's about 1,000x more qualified to talk about vaccines than Joe Rogan."

Nonetheless, it seems like Rogan has everyone talking.
