Are you a healthy person? Like, look, don\u2019t do anything stupid, but you should take care of yourself,\u201d Rogen <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-rogan-clarifies-comments-i-am-not-an-anti-vax-person\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \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<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan clarified his comments later in the week \u201cafter a string of sharp rebukes on Twitter and from Dr. Anthony Fauci himself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI am not an anti-vax person,\u201d Rogan said. \u201cIn fact, I said I believe they are safe and I encourage many people to take them. 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<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/joe-rogan-walks-back-covid-19-comments-i-am-not-an-anti-vaxx-person\"><span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/a><span>, Rogan also said, \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<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan\u2019s clarification \u2014 and self-definition as a \u201cf***ing moron\u201d \u2014 did nothing to quell the woke outrage to his comments. John Oliver, host of \u201cLast Week Tonight\u201d on HBO, condemned those who are deciding not to get vaccinated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur best way out of this mess long-term is clearly vaccines,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/john-oliver-rips-into-moron-joe-rogan-over-covid-vaccines\"><span>argued<\/span><\/a><span> Oliver. \u201cThese vaccines can save not just your life but the lives of people around you, and it\u2019s genuinely dispiriting that just a few months into the vaccine rollout we are already at this point. And the problem is, for the coronavirus, the herd immunity threshold is thought to be between 70 and 90% of the population, but a survey found that while 60% of American adults have got \u2014 or want to get \u2014 the vaccine, and about 18% say \u2018maybe,\u2019 and 22% say \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Like other liberal media figures and outlets, Oliver then focused on the impact \u201cright-wing\u201d media is having on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf you\u2019re thinking, <\/span><i><span>Yeah, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll need it. Joe Rogan says I\u2019m probably fine<\/span><\/i><span>. It is true: You might not get seriously sick from COVID \u2014 or indeed sick at all \u2014 but you could still inadvertently pass it to someone who could then die,\u201d said Oliver. \u201cAnd before you say, \u2018Well, vulnerable people should just get vaccinated then,\u2019 the vaccines are only 95% effective\u2026 so they\u2019ll probably be OK, but maybe not. Also, the more the virus circulates, the likelier we\u2019ll see mutations that make it more dangerous, possibly helping it to evade the vaccine completely, putting us all the way back to square one, so get the f***ing vaccine!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt is genuinely weird to see someone hosting a show on a supposed news network and ending every sentence with a question mark\u2014especially when answers to most of those questions are out there for anyone who cares to know,\u201d continued Oliver, adding, \u201cThat the CDC still recommends wearing masks indoors around vulnerable, unvaccinated people does not mean the vaccine doesn\u2019t work. Clinical trials found that the vaccines are spectacularly successful at preventing people from getting serious disease. As for whether they protect you from spreading the virus, the trials weren\u2019t designed to assess that, but evidence has so far indicated that they drastically reduce transmission. The reason we still see mask and distancing recommendations is that the CDC is being cautious and wants to be sure that it is not spreading bullshit around during a global pandemic like a frozen dinner duke with a TV show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cStop listening to what Joe Rogan tells you, he\u2019s a \u2018f***ing moron\u2019\u2014and those are his words, not mine,\u201d Oliver concluded.<\/span><\/p>\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>.
