Entertainment Joe rogan measles
Joe Rogan confused the measles with chicken pox and these 17 data-based replies fact checked him into oblivion
Professional Googler, Joe Rogan, was doing what some people think he does best: assertively spewing inaccurate health theories that don’t hold up when confronted with actual data and statistics.
Here he is talking about how measles were not a problem for him when he was a kid.
Joe Rogan: “Measles was what everyone got when I was a kid, and what happened was you’d get sick for a few days, and then you’d be immune for life. They’re making it look like everyone’s dying from measles.” pic.twitter.com/X4ie0ERZVj

This one clip really sums up the Joe Rogan experience. He’s confident. He’s inaccurate. He’s angry. His fans will clearly eat this all up and try to weaponize it to “own the libtards” the next time they’re listening to his podcast for leg day.
Twitter’s Community Note didn’t take long to call Rogan out on his B.S.

Clearly Rogan is confused. He’s thinking about chicken pox, a far less dangerous infectious disease. Rogan has a guest on mic that could’ve quickly kept him in check, but the mustache just nods along and even further confirms Rogan’s beliefs with his own expletive-laden rant about COVID.
For a more clear-headed assessment of this concerning medical issue, let’s look at the Twitter replies. (Which is a sentence I never thought I’d type in my lifetime.)

Is this fucking idiot talking about chicken pox?

Sad reality of the current media environment where an extremely dangerously ill-informed Joe Rogan can have so much influence.

In the 1970s-80s measles was the single leading killer of children, 2-3 million died annually. Through EPI @WHO we brought it down to 450,000 kids who died annually by 2000. Through @gavi it came down to <100,000. Now the ignorant careless chuckleheads want to erase all our gains https://t.co/HSkXrmi4d1

Joe Rogan was born in 1967. This is ahistorical nonsense.
Very few people got measles when he was growing up, and vaccines are the reason why https://t.co/Bk24oKHlZC pic.twitter.com/kByjDLVuP7

Millions of people get their health information from a guy who thinks that measles and chicken pox are the same thing. https://t.co/htaGU65Qj6

We need a vaccine that protects Joe Rogan listeners from Joe Rogan’s stupidity.

Why do people mix Measles and chicken pox? Measles has long-term effects and no one was passing it around to get their a case of it, so they could be done. That was chicken pox.
