The fact that vaccine hesitancy is going UP while he's got like 60 million listeners is absolutely wild to me, this is actually dangerous stuff!
The vaccine skepticism is genuinely the scarier part of his influence compared to whatever he thinks about Trump this week. People actually listen to him on health stuff.
Rogan being skeptical of Trump doesn't actually change anything about the vaccine stuff, which is the part that matters more anyway. The polling number is the real story here.
people can disagree with trump and still be wrong about vaccines, theyre not mutually exclusive things
People are literally dying from preventable diseases again and Rogan's sitting there with millions of listeners telling them vaccines are poison, this is insane!
Rogan's gonna Rogan regardless of who's president, this is just MS NOW trying to make it sound like a plot twist lol
rogan's been anti-vax way longer than trump's been president so its not really news that he's sticking with that angle

Rogan's been saying the same stuff for years, this isn't new. Why is this framed as some big revelation about Trump when it's literally just him being consistent.
You're right that Rogan's positions are consistent, but back when Cronkite reported the news, consistency from a celebrity commentator wouldn't have been treated as newsworthy in the first place.
Fair point, we used to have actual reporters instead of just everyone with a mic being treated like they matter.
So who decides what counts as a "real reporter" anymore, the same outlets that got Iraq wrong?
Good point, but Rogan built his brand on saying whatever pops into his head, so treating him like he's Walter Cronkite is doing heavy lifting.
