I just said if you\u2019re a young, healthy person, you don\u2019t need it. Their argument was you need it for other people. But that\u2019s a different conversation. And yes, that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan said \u201cclick-bait\u201d media coverage blew his comments out of proportion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not a doctor. I am a f***ing moron. I am a cage-fighting commentator \u2026 I am not a respected source of information, even for me. But I at least try to be honest about what I am saying,\u201d he said, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/joe-rogan-walks-back-covid-19-comments-i-am-not-an-anti-vaxx-person\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> (THR).<\/p>\n<p>During his podcast on Tuesday, Rogan received criticism on social media when he said that both his children got COVID-19 and they did fine, seemingly arguing that he would not have his children take the shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you\u2019re like 21 years old, and you say to me, \u2018Should I get vaccinated?\u2019 I\u2019ll go, \u2018No.\u2019 Are you healthy? Are you a healthy person? Like, look, don\u2019t do anything stupid, but you should take care of yourself,\u201d Rogen said. \u201cYou should \u2014 if you\u2019re a healthy person, and you\u2019re exercising all the time, and you\u2019re young, and you\u2019re eating well, like, I don\u2019t think you need to worry about this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth my children got the virus. It was nothing. I [mean], I hate to say that if someone\u2019s children died from this. I\u2019m very sorry that that happened. I\u2019m not in any way diminishing that. But I\u2019m saying the personal experience that my children had with COVID was nothing,\u201d Rogan added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s amazing that that\u2019s controversial. That even saying that I\u2019m not going to inject my child with the vaccine is controversial. It\u2019s crazy,\u201d he concluded. \u201cBecause again, we are not talking about even the flu that we just found out killed 22,000 people last year. We\u2019re not talking about that. We\u2019re talking about something that is not statistically dangerous for children. But yet people still want you to get your child vaccinated, which is crazy to me. Like you should be vaccinated if you are vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.7404580152672\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">did some research and found out that joe rogan is in fact not a doctor <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/T5wTUg83IP\">https:\/\/t.co\/T5wTUg83IP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 peter (@kulipeter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kulipeter\/status\/1387096730479497216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/safety\/safety-of-vaccines.html?s_cid=10507:is%20the%20covid-19%20vaccine%20safe:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY21\">CDC<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>CDC recommends you get vaccinated for COVID-19 as soon as you are eligible.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>[\u2026]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Over 230 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through April 26, 2021.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>COVID-19 vaccines are\u00a0<strong>safe and effective<\/strong>.
