Joe Rogan's assertion that young, healthy people should skip the COVID-19 vaccine is bad advice,Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease doctor said Wednesday.
Fauci was a guest on NBC's Today show where he called the recent comments by the comic-actor "incorrect." "You're talking about yourself in a vacuum," Fauci said of Rogan, who made the vaccine comments on his Spotify podcast. "You're worried about yourself and the likelihood and that you're not going to get any symptoms.
But you can get infected, and will get infected, if you put yourself at risk.” Rogan informed his listeners that his children got the virus and were both fine, so therefore it was hisassertion all young, healthy people could skip the jab.
