I don't know that anyone is. And Rogan says this 1000000x over on his podcast- that he's a cage fighting comentantor, stand-up comic moron- and no one should take medical advice from him and he's not giving it either. He's just telling people what worked for him.
And this is why they listen to him.  It's not his fault, but people trust him over "medical professionals" because he isn't coming from a position of authority.  Right or wrong, the masses have come to distrust authority figures.  They've learned that some have lied and abused their authority and extrapolated that to mistrust of anyone in authority.
They hear a cool guy giving his thoughts on a matter while absconding any authority or accountability, and when the message is in such pretty packaging, they're more likely to accept it.

It's not complicated.

Yeah, that...or it could also be that the establishment corporate media and the US gov't have lied to the people time and time and time again and again...and gotten so much wrong....no need to even expand on this- there's too many examples.

That a lot of people- rightly distrust their government and the crap they see on the mainstream establishment media.

By the way- this entire BS narrative in the mainstream media about ivermectin being a horse dewormer literally blows my mind. Ivermectin is on the WHO's list of essential medicines, it's been dosed to literally billions of humans for like 4 decades, and the discoverer of the compound won the Nobel prize. It's a HUMAN MEDICINE that was invented FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION in which a version of it was repurposed for use in animals. Is water an animal liquid? Is penicillin an animal drug? Like where the hell is this bullshit even coming from? Pretty obvious what's going on here....
Yeah, Ivermectin got a bad rap. I agree with you that there aren't really any conclusive studies that show that it does squat for COVID, but at the same time referring to it as a horse dewormer isn't remotely fair.

That doesn't mean they should trust Joe Rogan, though...

Good luck convincing the masses that side against the one thing (authority) to not just blindly go with the other thing (Joe Rogan or Oprah or Whatever-the-Fuck).

Joe Rogan hasn't lied about virtually everything, lied them into 7 wars, committed crimes against humanity, massive human rights violations, lied about WMD's, lied about Russigate and pee pee tapes, done awful negligent journalism/reporting, etc., etc..

I don't think Joe Rogan is pleading for people to trust him. One of the great things about that guy is he talks to EVERYBODY and tries to get viewpoints for things from all-sides- and he's smart enough to know what he doesn't know. Very humble guy with a great god damn podcast.

I like Joe Rogan. His stand up is hilarious. I don't really know his podcast and don't follow MMA, so I don't know that aspect of him. But he's a good, thought-provoking comedian. 

I'm just saying that Aaron Rodgers basically said that he talked to Rogan and did what Rogan suggested. That's not saying anything about Rogan, but perhaps Rodgers should have consulted, I dunno, an actual medical professional?

Wow.
What's his cum taste like?
.
He also thought the moon landing was faked until a couple of years ago.  Loves conspiracy theories.  And by his own admission, is mostly an idiot.  
And he does have a good podcast.

I'm kind of the opposite. I think his stand up is kinda meh. I don't follow MMA either. I knew of him obviously being he was on News Radio, a stand-up, and Fear Factor- but I really only became aware of him through his podcast.

You gave him a public digital blowjob.  It was the natural question.

Nah. The masses mostly trust their dishonest institutions like the blind stupid sheep they are and are obedient little sheeple.
