Joe Rogan says young people shouldn’t get vaccinated

Joe Rogan has come under fire for arguing that 21-year-olds should not get the coronavirus vaccine.

Interviewing comedian Dave Smith on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Spotify, the host said that he felt the vaccine was safe “for the most part” and that “vulnerable” people should be inoculated.
