Joe Rogan's worst misinformation yet, with RFK Jr.

Every first vaccine has been tested in placebo-controlled trials before going to market:

Why we vaccinate babies against Hep B:

Vaccines don’t cause autism:

It really is a better understanding leading to more autism diagnoses:

It's real easy to sling mud. it's much more difficult to clean up the mess.

If I had ever contracted hepatitis B, I would not have been able to be treated with the drug that has been suppressing my multiple sclerosis progression for the last six years. I actually, without realizing it, missed some of the doses - I missed half the school year in seventh grade - and didn’t realize I wasn’t protected, but fortunately, herd immunity seems to have kept me safe.

Now, I am immunosuppressed, but despite the risk to me, my ex - who is a huge RFK Jr. and Joe Rogan fan - had a veritable hissy fit when I asked him to get a full STI screening before we had sex. Despite the fact that he is a former IV drug user.

This was shocking and frankly inexplicable to me, at the time, but I guess it makes a little more sense now - ex was mainlining this bullsh*t.

Anyway, happy ending, the relationship terminated unconsummated.

The idea of a “live debate” is really stupid. RFK will just pull out some new “study” that no one has heard of, and the scientist will have no time to read it and critique it. So if they insist on a debate, it should be done more like a legal trial. You must submit your evidence ahead of time for the other side to read. And then stick to that.

A science communicator, not a scientist only, should debate RFK

At 10:25, you say that the DPT vaccine "has never been pulled" and that it never caused damage, but RFK was talking about the whole-cell DPT vaccine (which was pulled in 1996) and not the acellular DTap and Tdap vaccines you are referring to.

Also, a paper put out in 1994 by the National Academy of Medicine said that there was a lack of sufficient evidence either for or against neurological damage from the DPT vaccines. The lawsuits and accused damage were the impetus for the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

At 6:07 you note that "pretty much all the mercury is excreted" and from that you draw the conclusion that ethylmercury is safe. This is an incorrect way of reasoning, because it may be the non-excreted mercury that does the damage.

From the 2002 "Three Faces of Mercury" paper by the University of Rochester in New York by the Department of Environmental Medicine:

"Ethyl mercury converts to inorganic mercury more rapidly than methyl mercury, but the latter produces more brain damage."

I cant validate everything but Dr. Wilson did misrepresent Rogans statement on vitamin D being a cure for Covid. Cuz Rogan never said "if u replace the Vitamin D in a sick person they will get better." As Wilson claims he did. @29:46 Rogan was talking about it as a preventative only, and never with certainty, just him talking about his logic of them being linked.

This was a really good explanation and breakdown on RFK’s claims. I’m now leaning more against his claims on vaccines. However, something that I would’ve liked to see differently is when considering if a scientist should debate RFK, the answer should be a resounding YES.
You talk about how usually the questions he asks (we all ask) have already been asked and answered by a scientist somewhere, and debated in an office, classroom, water cooler, etc. Well the average person doesn’t have access to those conversations and that’s what we want to hear. We don’t want to continue with the “trust the experts” narrative. Sure, they might be right most of the time, but we want to understand it as well. We want to have access to those conversations, that’s how we get less distrustful. And what better way to do so than to have a debate with someone who has strong opposing views on the matter.
When asked if a scientist should debate RFK, the answer should be a YES, absolutely. There should be nothing to lose if we’re doing it in the name of curiosity, science and knowledge.

21:18 I was at school in the early 1960’s and neither autism or ADHD were recognised. Anyone showing signs of these conditions was considered a disruptive influence or a daydreamer or worse.

4:40 With regards to methyl mercury compared with ethyl mercury. The same difference is true between methyl alcohol (methanol) and ethyl alcohol (ethanol) drinking methanol even in small quantities regularly results in blindness and other conditions, whereas ethanol in reasonable quantities doesn’t.

[LukeXNagel]

Thank you for these videos man. So valuable to the discourse. This channel is a treasure.

[robertchflynn]

why is no one going after Kennedy for his responsibility in the measles outbreak in Somoa a few years back? Kids directly died after Kennedy's visit there a few months earlier???

[rhineman]

There are numerous conflicting studies and a deeper discussion about toxicology to be had. As I’ve said before. It is almost impossible to locate ONE cause of mounting problems because there are so many environmental toxins.

[misterartyparty]

09:12 They did not tested whether aluminium accumulated in the body, they only tested blood and hair…if aluminium accumulated in the central nervous system, would have they been able to find out ?
10:05 RFK is talking about DTP, not DTaP. He is not lying.
15:17 well if they got sued and lost money…weren’t they in the wrong ? Shouldn’t they be winning their lawsuits if their vaccines were effectively safe ? Isn’t it how justice work ?
18:34 How do you catch hepatitis B ? No one argued about the severity of it, just the way it’s transmitted.
20:00 Have you wondered why the studies always focus on ONE vaccine, as if they were taken in a vacuum ? You are expected to take more than 50 in your life, where are the studies that compare longitudinally vaccinated and unvaccinated people for overall health ? (Those studies exist by the way like Hooker & Miller)

[therambler]

I burst out laughing when he started talking about how Wifi causes cancer. This is textbook pseudoscience that should raise red flags.

[merikijiya]

4:00 Ethylmercury can pass the cell membrane. You getting things wrong in your video debunking someone makes me question all of your responses. I’ll look it up myself.

[thinkfact]

As always, thank you for the work you put into doing these videos. Combating these high confidence yet low-information people is so important.

Joe Rogan is asking questions. He's not a propagandaist or somebody pedaling disinformation for profit he has an inquisitive mind and he's asking questions and that's what science looks like. I'm sure he would happily have you on the podcast. The reason people like Joe Rogan so much is because he's willing to question things and he follows truth. And then he questions "the truth" and then he brings on guests that have questions about "the truth." That's what science looks like. We are currently living through an opioid crisis caused by the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA lying. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people dead because pharmaceutical companies and the FDA lied. I think it's perfectly fine to be skeptical of the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA. Don't you?
