Kennedy Jr. to spread &#8220;misinformation&#8221; on his show.<\/p>\n<h3>Hotez Calls Out Rogan for Allowing Vaccine Misinformation<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Peter Hotez called out Joe Rogan for giving a platform to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on The Joe Rogan Experience, where Kennedy reiterated his controversial beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccination in general.<\/p>\n<h3>Kennedy&#8217;s Controversial Claims<\/h3>\n<p>During the episode, Kennedy made several claims, including a story about a mother with an autistic son that changed his views on vaccination, allegations of media censorship against comedians who questioned vaccines, and accusations of pharmaceutical corporations profiting from vaccine distribution.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Spotify Has Stopped Even Sort of Trying to Stem Joe Rogan\u2019s Vaccine Misinformation,&#8221; Hotez tweeted after the episode aired. &#8220;It&#8217;s really true @annamerlan \u2066\u2069just awful. And from all the online attacks I&#8217;m receiving after this absurd podcast, it\u2019s clear many actually believe this nonsense.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Rogan&#8217;s $100,000 Challenge<\/h2>\n<p>In response to Hotez&#8217;s criticism, Joe Rogan offered a $100,000 challenge to Dr. Peter Hotez. Rogan proposed that if Hotez believes Kennedy&#8217;s claims are &#8220;misinformation,&#8221; he should be willing to debate Kennedy on Rogan&#8217;s show with no time limit.<\/p>\n<h3>Hotez&#8217;s Willingness to Speak<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Peter Hotez expressed his willingness to speak with Joe Rogan, but Rogan quickly rejected the vaccine expert&#8217;s offer, claiming that Hotez&#8217;s response was not serious.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Be serious Joe, that&#8217;s what you throw out for your hunting buddies on a weekend,&#8221; Hotez said in a now-deleted tweet, according to Rogan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hotez then proposed a $50 million endowment for low-cost patent-free vaccines for the world&#8217;s poor, preceded by a public apology from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joe, you have my cell, my email, I\u2019m always willing to speak with you,&#8221; Hotez tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is a non-answer,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;I challenged you publicly because you publicly quote tweeted and agreed with that dogs*** vice article.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re really serious about what you stand for, you now have a massive opportunity for a debate that will reach the largest audience a discussion like this has ever had. If you think someone else is better qualified, suggest that person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hotez did not provide a direct answer, but instead shared multiple vaccine statistics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m happy to come on and clear the air. I respect you and your show. I don&#8217;t want an adversarial relationship, I think we can work well together,&#8221; the vaccine expert tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To those misunderstanding what he\u2019s saying, he\u2019s NOT agreeing to debate @RobertKennedyJr,&#8221; Rogan clarified. &#8220;He&#8217;s just offering to come on my show by himself.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Online Feud Continues<\/h2>\n<p>The feud between Joe Rogan and Dr. Peter Hotez has continued for two days, with various celebrities and online personalities weighing in on the debate.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s afraid of a public debate, because he knows he&#8217;s wrong,&#8221; Elon Musk replied to Rogan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mark Cuban disagreed with Rogan&#8217;s call-out and criticized the podcast host for attempting to bully Dr. Hotez.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You aren&#8217;t trying to find the ground truth on vaccines. If you were, you would bring on someone who focused on debating the issue,&#8221; Cuban tweeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David defended Joe Rogan, arguing that calling him a &#8220;bully&#8221; was hypocritical considering the pressure many Americans faced to take the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>As the debate rages on, the public eagerly awaits to see if Dr. Peter Hotez will accept Joe Rogan&#8217;s challenge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcast host Joe Rogan challenged Dr. Peter Hotez with a $100,000 bet after the vaccine scientist criticized him for giving Robert F.
