Can You Spot the Propaganda On Joe Rogan's Show?
Having Suzanne Humphries as a guest confirms everything you were thinking about Joe Rogan...
By now, most folks know that they shouldn’t listen to Joe Rogan when he talks about vaccines. So hopefully his episode featuring Suzanne Humphries won’t scare too many people away from getting vaccinated and protected.
Can You Spot the Propaganda On Joe Rogan's Show?
Just in case though, let’s take a look at what they talked about…
“Vaccinated for the measles, you should be taking vitamin A as well. Your body’s going to get depleted just by getting the shot. They don’t tell you that.”
Joe Rogan
Uhm.
“They” don’t tell you that, because it isn’t true!
Getting a vaccine doesn’t cause you to have a vitamin A deficiency.
And with measles outbreaks and people actually developing liver damage from taking too much vitamin A, you would think anti-vaccine influencers might start to be a little more careful about what they are saying.
And you would be wrong!
“So then 1986 comes along because there’s so many lawsuits happening because of the diphtheria pertussis tetanus vaccine that again the vaccine companies couldn’t continue to go on the way they were because they were being sued so much.”
Suzanne Humphries
They are instead doubling down and spouting every anti-vaccine talking point they can, even though they have all been refuted a thousand times already.
The lawsuits Humphries is talking about?
They were frivolous lawsuits.
The DPT vaccine was found to be safe in study after study, has saved millions of lives, and those lawsuits were thrown out in other countries.
Suzanne Humphries also brings up:
that she believes DDT caused polio or maybe it was arsenic or tonsillectomies
that she believes aluminum in vaccines causes food allergies
that the smallpox vaccine was made with pus from a horse’s foot
the HAZMAT guy myth — that if you drop a vaccine vial, guys in HAZMAT suits have to come and clean it up!
that tuberculosis was a side effect of the smallpox vaccine
that doctors get a $250,000 vaccine bonus for following the ACIP immunization schedule and a $40,000 vaccine bonus for vaccinating kids in the hospital
that SV 40 was introduced to us through vaccines, it causes cancer, and we continue to spread it to others
the misleading charts of Roman Bystrianyk that she uses in her book
that Andy Wakefield wasn’t a fraud
that she thinks kids getting vaccinated for chickenpox has led to adults getting shingles
that she thinks you can have natural immunity to tetanus and can treat tetanus with vitamin C
All topics that are in her error filled Dissolving Illusions book…
But what’s truly scary?
Joe Rogan laps it all up, only stopping to mention his sponsors, and gives her a huge platform to spread this misinformation.
A logical, rational person would stop listening to him, especially as rates of measles, pertussis, and other vaccine-preventable diseases are on the rise.
