Joe Rogan’s False Claims About Vaccines
Joe Rogan is still not very smart. He's actually pretty darn gullible, and so is Bret Weinstein. Why do I have to say this again? Well, let's just look at what they had to say on their most recent podcast together.
[Joe Rogan]
But there's something insane about how many people were like pro-vaccine advocates that were shaming people and angry at people, and now they're dead. And they're not dead because they ran their time, and they got old, and they died, and you know, it's unfortunate, but it happens to all of them. Uh-uh. No, they're dead young, like a lot, a lot of people. Not one, not twenty. We don't even know what the real numbers are because it's not something the mainstream media covers, because they've all been vaccinated too, and they're probably freaking the f**k out too. What Joe is saying here is false.
[Dan Wilson]
It's pretty much him just looking at his social media feed and thinking that that's what the world looks like. But I'll get there a little bit later. For now, I just want to make it really clear that this idea that vaccines are making people drop dead is completely false, and actually has been very well tested.
[00:01:00]
You would think that talking to someone with a PhD like Brett Weinstein, he might correct Joe on this. If you think he did, you'd be disappointed.
[Bret Weinstein]
Yeah, it's a huge number of people. We can detect that statistically. The rate at which it's happening has changed radically. Exactly. And the very people who say, oh, that's not the vaccine, are very uninterested in figuring out what it is.

Debunking Rogan’s Claims with Scientific Evidence
There is no increased rate of death among the vaccinated compared to unvaccinated people. COVID vaccines do not increase your risk of death of any kind. How do we know? Well, it's been studied in practically every major country in the world that vaccinated a lot of people against COVID. It's really not a study that's too complicated to do. You just take groups of people who got vaccinated against COVID, compare them to people who did not get vaccinated against COVID, and measure things like all-cause mortality, non-COVID deaths, or specific kinds of deaths. In every single case, we see that COVID vaccines don't increase your risk of death. But Dr. Willis, those studies are all funded by Big Pharma.
[00:02:01]
Nope. They're actually done by independent researchers from all over the world. Those researchers then publish their data to the scientific community, which is a group of hyper-competitive nerds that will trash your work if it's bad, and they won't apologize for it. And yet all of these groups are finding the exact same thing.
Studies from Around the World Refute Rogan’s Claims
So let's go over a few examples. We have two separate studies using an American database called the Vaccine Safety Data Link, looking at all-cause mortality and specific death outcomes. Both found no increased risk of death associated with COVID vaccination. Then we have a study from England looking at the cardiac outcomes following COVID vaccination across 46 million people. And they found that COVID vaccines did not increase your risk of cardiac-related death. Same thing in another English study that was looking at 5.1 million children. Again, they found a favorable safety outcome and no increased risk of death. There's also a study from Hungary looking at all-cause mortality across their population of vaccinated people, and found no increased risk of death. I really want to drive home how stupid it is for Joe Rogan and Brent Weinstein to be making these claims, so let's keep going.
[00:03:01]
More Studies Debunking the Vaccine Death Myth
We have this study from the Netherlands, which is in Dutch, but you can translate it, and it finds that there is no increased risk of death following COVID vaccines. We have this study from researchers in Mexico looking at excess mortality trends across 178 countries, and how COVID vaccination influenced these numbers. And they find a negative correlation between COVID vaccination and excess mortality. In other words, the more COVID vaccines you have, the less excess mortality you have. This study of 44 million people from Korea found that severe adverse events from COVID vaccines were very rare, and did not increase your risk of death. There's this study looking at data from VAERS, which, if you know what that is, anti-vaxxers love to reference it, and V-safe, which are basically two vaccine safety databases. And it found, again, no increased risk of death following COVID vaccines. And there's also this study from Dutch scientists who are looking at whether or not COVID vaccines make people who already have heart failure have worse heart failure, and they found no increased risk of that either. And there are so many more papers on this topic showing the exact same thing.
[00:04:02]
I'm linking all the ones I talked about in the description. With all of that research in mind, we can confidently say that these claims are impossible. It is not possible for COVID vaccines to be making people drop dead at rates that are never before seen. You would have to believe that the entire world and the entire scientific community are in on some big conspiracy to hide the truth. I mean, Brett Weinstein does actually believe that. I don't think Joe has thought that through. But either way, reasonable people know that that is absolutely ridiculous and is not a realistic view of the world.
Why Joe Rogan is Wrong About Vaccines
So why is Joe saying this? What made Brett Weinstein say this? The rate at which it's happening has changed radically. And what's making people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. say this? Which, as of recording this video, he said just over a week ago. It's all lies. There are a lot of social media accounts online that spend a lot of time scrubbing through obituaries, people who recently died, and then cross-referencing their names to social media pages.
[00:05:05]
And if they see that that person had some banner on their profile picture or statements on their page about getting the COVID vaccine, they then take that obituary, show it to their social media feed, and say, Hey, look, this person passed away, and it was the COVID vaccine. No evidence that that's why they passed is offered up. It's just that. They just show that someone died, and they say that it's the COVID vaccine.
The Sick Truth About Social Media and Vaccine Misinformation
It's sick. And a lot of families have had to try to submit cease and desist for their loved ones, who are now being used by people on social media to just lie to make money. And Joe Rogan is just scrolling his social media page and seeing this and thinking that the rates are somehow increased. Brett should know better, and he almost gets there when he said this.
[Bret Weinstein]
The trouble is that it's hard in any individual case to know whether or not you're looking at something that would have happened anyway.
[Dan Wilson]
But after taking one small step forward, he immediately takes 10 steps back and says that the rates have increased, which they have not.
[00:06:07]
I guarantee you that Brett Weinstein, if pressed on this, could not show you one piece of credible research showing that this rate has increased, as he claims.
Debunking the "GoodSciencing" Blog's False Claims
The source that a lot of these people do point to when making this claim, such as the one that makes RFK Jr. say this quote that I just mentioned earlier, is this blog called GoodSciencing. It was basically a blog post claiming that the rates of young athletes dying has increased dramatically after COVID vaccines rolled out. There's just one huge, huge, huge, bigger than an Alaskan bullworm, huge problem with this claim. And it's that most of the people mentioned in this GoodSciencing blog are not athletes, and they're not young either. And their cause of death is known in a lot of these cases, too. They have several entries in there of people who are over the age of 60, clearly not athletes, and just happen to pass away at something like a charity walk event.
[00:07:05]
But they do also have some young people who did play sports whose deaths are clearly noted as not being anything to do with COVID vaccines. In some cases, it'll say right in the person's obituary what they passed away from. There are multiple examples in this list of people who passed away young because they were taken by fentanyl use. Again, it'll clearly say so right in their obituaries or even in news posts about the person. But these GoodSciencing people include them in their numbers anyway, and then people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Peter McCullough, William Mackus all repeat this with no regard to what the actual truth is or what the families actually experienced.
Study Shows Decrease in Sudden Cardiac Deaths Among Athletes
When actual researchers look into this and do an actual study, this is what you get. This was a 20-year study into the rates of sudden cardiac deaths in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The dates for this study were 2002 to 2022, which included the COVID vaccine rollout.
[00:08:02]
And what did they find? They found that the rates of sudden cardiac death in college-age athletes decreased during this time.
Brett Weinstein's Cowardice and Refusal to Engage in Debate
And yet, these people still just lie. These people who make it their job to find these unfortunate deaths and use them to make money online just keep lying about it. And Joe Rogan, in his ambient and alpha-brain-fueled haze of scrolling social media, sees this stuff and just believes it. And then he yaps about it on his podcast to tens of millions of people, and then a grifter like Brett Weinstein indulges him and reinforces it. By the way, I repeat that Brett Weinstein cannot find a single piece of credible research reinforcing his claim that sudden cardiac deaths or the rates of sudden deaths have increased in association with COVID vaccines. And I think he knows this, which is why he will not be caught dead on camera talking to someone who can sufficiently challenge him. Brett is a coward who refuses to talk to me or any other expert who can challenge him on this topic.
[00:09:01]
I know, because I've tried to get him to talk to me. He refuses. It's a whole thing, you can watch my previous videos about it if you want to, but whatever. Brett, you are a coward, and Joe, you are the worst advertisement for alpha-brain I have ever seen in my life.
The Disappointing Reality of the Joe Rogan Experience
That episode of Joe Rogan's podcast with Brett Weinstein went out to probably tens of millions of people who, I bet, expected some level of insightful and interesting conversation about COVID vaccines among other topics, but what they got are just two boomers talking about their social media feed and how much they believe it.
A Call for Joe Rogan to Do Better
This is just so bad, and Joe needs to do better. He can do better. I know he can, but he's just not doing better. Anyway, that's about it. Just don't be dumb, and don't listen to people like Brett Weinstein and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who are just going to lie and lie and lie in order to scare you into believing them so that they can get more and more powerful and influential. See you in the next video, buh-bye.
