Josh Duggar indicted on child pornography charges, more ICYMI news

Joe Rogan found his named trending on April 28 thanks to comments he made on his popular podcast in which he said that healthy young people shouldn’t get the COVID-19 vaccine. “If you’re a healthy person, and you’re exercising all the time, and you’re young, and you’re eating well, like, I don’t think you need to worry about this,” he said of the coronavirus. “If you’re, like, 21 years old, and you say to me, ‘Should I get vaccinated?’ I’ll go ‘No.'” The controversial comments caused a lot of back-and-forth on social media. Even the White House got involved and ripped the host. “I guess my first question would be, did Joe Rogan become a medical doctor while we weren’t looking?” a White House aide said. Billie Eilish’s brother, musician-producer Finneas, was among the celebrities who blasted Joe. “I’m sure joe rogan knows more about UFC than your average immunologist does and I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say I would imagine he knows a little [expletive] less about vaccines than your average immunologist.” The day after his comments went viral, Joe backpedaled a bit. “I’m not a doctor,” he said. “I’m a… moron.” He also insisted, “I’m not an anti-vaxx person. I said I believe they’re safe and I encourage many people to take them. My parents were vaccinated.” Though he stopped short of admitting his argument was wrong, he did acknowledge why even young healthy people need to be vaccinated to end the pandemic. “There’s some legitimate science behind this…Their argument was, you need it for other people [so you don’t pass it to them],” he said. “But that’s a different argument. That’s a different conversation.”
