“But 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."”
It's like anything with any other performative figure: an author, a musician, a film maker, or a talk show how host... sometimes a single snippet of their work (as long as it is correctly represented) is all you need to make a make perfectly valid impression.
In Rogan's case -- whether he's a troll or a simpleton (i.e. isn't so much trying to push buttons, but honestly doesn't understand the scientific arguments he's critiquing, or the harm he encourages by doing so) doesn't matter -- not to me, any ways. And I really don't need to invest any more time figuring out whether he has a more "nuanced" side or not. There are literally thousands of "must-see/read/hear" items on my list. Many years overdue.
If you see him in a different light, that's perfectly fine.
I do like Springsteen actually, so we're on the same page there at least.

- vanusa 5y agoLikewise.
