This is a really important question because the moderator of a debate can play a major role in how a debate turns out and appears to others. This raises the immediate question as to whether Rogan would be a fair, unbiased moderator of any debate between Hotez and Kennedy. Heck, Rogan has even said, “I’m not a doctor, I’m a bleeping moron,” and “I’m not a respected source of information, even for me.”
Later that month, I also covered for Forbes how over 270 scientists, doctors, nurses, and other health professionals had signed a petition to Spotify stating that “throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Joe Rogan has repeatedly spread misleading and false claims on his podcast, provoking distrust in science and medicine.” When it comes to Covid-19 info, Rogan’s podcast has been more RoganLine than MEDLINE. Would such a debate moderated by Rogan be fair? Would it even be worthwhile? Or will it simply further anti-science misinformation? All of this brouhaha-or perhaps tweethaha-does raise an important question.
Musk even tweet-claimed that Hotez is “afraid of public debate.” Musk twit or tweeted this despite the fact that Hotez, a world-renowned infectious diseases expert, the founding Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and a Professor at the Baylor College of Medicine, has regularly spoken about Covid-19 and vaccines across many different public venues. Soon after Rogan tweet-issued his challenge, billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Ackman tweet-chimed their support of Rogan’s tweet-proposal. Hotez, MD, PhD, to come on to his Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast and debate Robert F. If you’ve been on Twitter, by now you may have heard that Joe Rogan tweet-challenged Peter J.
