> So is my ability to listen to people to be dictated by nurse practitioners and med school students? Get real. Getting real, I would venture that they have a much better understanding of coronavirus than this comedian interviewer. You're also blowing it way out of proportion: it's not about a nurse dictating who you're allowed to listen to, it's about a group of people that know stuff about medicine being against this popular guy spreading misinformation specifically about vaccinations and covid.

What’s interesting is that in their letter they don’t provide any data to refute what was said, they simply use their profession as a resin they should be listened to. This kind of cancel culture is outrageous. They pretend that Joe Rogan wouldn’t hear their side of the story if they prepared an actual refutation with the data to back it up. Even in the article itself it shows Joe already heard from opposing opinions so why write this letter except to cancel someone they don’t like?

  what "cancel culture"? joe rogan is literally being paid millions of dollars by spotify, is constantly being advertised all over their platform, and has millions of listeners. this letter is asking the platform to stop spreading harmful misinformation, not to "cancel" rogan. per the article, "Rogan, whose show reaches an estimated audience of 11 million people an episode, has repeatedly downplayed the need for coronavirus vaccines and used his platform to flirt with misinformation about covid-19."

    We only notice the most obvious instances of cancel culture. Those are attempts to cancel someone popular. If he had an audience of 2 people (or 3 including his mom), nobody would be talking about it now.

    That’s only because Joe is too big to fail.
