Joe Rogan on the role of the MSM media during the pandemic

"Imagine if the news people were skeptical about the vaccine. The news people were skeptical about not being able to use off label medications at a doctor's discretion, especially ones that have been shown to stop viral replication in vitro and there's a history of success in using these things in other countries like Uttar Pradesh in India. There's a bunch of different things that were going on simultaneously and yet they're still being stopped, wouldn't the real news, imagine if the real news is like: Hold on, it seems like there's special interests involved here and there's a financial incentive to push this one thing, which is what they have to do in order to get the emergency use authorization act. They can't be any valid pharmaceutical drugs that are available currently, that we could prescribe. That's the only way you can get some new thing to pass through. Imagine if that was the news and podcasters were like: It's safe and effective. If you get it you won't get sick. If you get it, you won't share it to anybody else, the virus stops with you. All this talk about side effects, it's not true, I've never seen a single person that had a bad reaction to this new experimental gene therapy.
Imagine if it was the podcasters. We would all be in the news. We would all be getting sued, they would use it to shut us down. That would be the misinformation that they would feed us to get us to say stupid shit so that we would endanger people's lives and ruin people's healths and they would shut us down 100%."
