A coalition of scientists released an open letter just a couple weeks ago, urging Spotify to “moderate misinformation” on JRE about the virus and vaccine. Of course, it wouldn’t be controversial if everyone was happy. As a result of his success, men like Dana White and Aaron Rodgers have copied Rogan’s process for recovery, thanking Rogan for his advice. After catching COVID-19 himself, Rogan made use of various remedies, including a combination of Ivermectin, Z-Pak, Prednisone, and monoclonal antibodies, along with an NAD and Vitamin C drip. For example, his listening base was large enough that streaming giant Spotify was happy to fork over nine figures for a multi-year contract for rights to the The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). People listen to Rogan, both in the literal and figurative sense. In December 2021, 270 doctors, scientists and medical experts signed an open letter asking Spotify to pull The Joe Rogan Experience due to the host’s “baseless conspiracy theories” and “concerning history of broadcasting misinformation.” Spotify is the exclusive home of the podcast.Joe Rogan has faced quite a few controversies over the years, but none have proven quite as sticky or high-profile than his response to COVID-19.

Rogan, meanwhile, has been a lightning rod for controversy, especially as it relates to the pandemic. "I don't want people to see me out there and think I think everything is OK. "I don't want to put people in danger," he explained in December 2021. Young has previously declared that he will not return to touring until he and his audiences can feel safe at the shows. The famed singer-songwriter has been a vocal advocate for vaccinations throughout the COVID pandemic. Young later returned his catalog to major streaming sites, including Spotify, in 2016. “I don’t feel right allowing this to be sold to my fans. “I don’t need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution,” he said at the time. In 2015, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer pulled his songs from Spotify and other platforms in protest of low streaming audio quality. This isn’t the first time Young has removed his material from the streaming site. Not both,” Young continued, referencing the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience which has come under fire for vaccine misinformation promoted by its host and guests. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform.

“Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.” “I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” the rocker wrote in an open letter to his management and record label, relayed by Rolling Stone.
