Lol, at the people downvoting you. No retort even.
Joe Rogan talks about the largest range of controversial topics I've ever seen. He's willing to entertain ufo's, dmt, early hominid history, jfk assasination conspiracies, how plastics affect hormones, moon landing conspiracies, sasquatch, mermaids, the list goes on and on, the crazier the better. If people want to listen to him let them. If they want to say he's full of shit let them. But why are they so enraged if that's just who he is.
He talks about the weirdest things out there because its interesting, why even bother taking such an offensive stance against someone that talks about these things, it brings a world of possibilities? Like you're offended that a man who talks about sasquatch as if it could be real asserts the possibility, not as a matter of fact but just the possibility, that the state mandated policies towards the pandemic might not be the best policy? Again a man who says, you know what, ufo's might be real, sasquatch could be real dude. I mean the bar is low, real low, but yet they're offended?
There is actually a whole subreddit dedicated to laughing at the mindless pro-state zealotry of those who blindly follow the state's guidelines due to fears instilled from the pandemic. I forget who said it but anti-antivaxxer affiliation (can't say pro-vaccine, because there are many rational people who are pro-vaccine but anti-mandate and not anti-antivax) if you look at the conditions that cause history to repeat itself, its actually a rebirth of religions of the past.
So while you say religious heretics, there is a lot of truth to it. Since we live in an age of science, however, religious arguments will not suffice. Instead the zealotry follows the pope of this religion, an authority figure who instead of representing god, represents science (in fact the pope's own words unadulterated), a science which he has full authority over both in its dissemination and interpretation to his congregation.
If you're curious why people are so irrational about this, look no further than other examples religious zealotry, and realize its a very real phenomenon that repeats itself over and over throughout history because of the psychological traits of a certain, I would say pretty large, subset of people who have not learned to suppress very natural human cognitive biases.
