      He’s thinking of chicken pox, isn’t he? I hope Joe’s immunity is long gone. Nobody deserves measles and polio more than him and RFK Jr.

      Joe, you did not get measles. You got chicken pox.

      Next he’s gonna say he got scurvy or some shit.

    3. I’m confused. Even *if* what he’s saying was true, how’s that an argument against vaccination? Wouldn’t it be better if you could get the same immunity without having to catch the illness at all?

    4. My eyesight went from 20-20 to 20-200 after having measles in 1964. Had to wear glasses my entire life until I got cataract surgery a few years ago.

    5. Rogan is only a couple of years older than I am and when I was a child nobody got measles because everybody got the fucking vaccine

    6. I am slightly younger than Rogan, and, no, that was never measles. That was chicken pox. Jesus, dude.

    7. “And then youre immune for life” imagine if you could do that without getting the full disease. A less potent or dormant version of the virus that illicit the same response in your immune system 🤔

    8. He’s about my age. We all got lined up and given MMR boosters in high school. We got to grow up without measles and heard horror stories from our parents of lost friends to it.

      He is definitely describing chicken pox.

    9. Why so many people listen to the brain farts of uneducated clowns like Joe Rogan is beyond my understanding.

      This dude has zero expertise in 99 percent of all topics he constantly talks about and sadly, most of his guest are too weak to unmask this blowhard.

    10. no, vaccated kids can still get lighter cases (spots, muscle aches, fever) for a few days. they just stopped dying from it. //as if this guy ever stayed up all night caring for a sick child, or sat in a crowded and scarytothekid waiting room for hours and hours.

    11. From the CDC website

      >Hospitalization. About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized.

      >Pneumonia. As many as 1 out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.

      >Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain). This can lead to convulsions and leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.

      >Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.

      He’s full of shit. I’m Joe’s age. We had the vaccine. They gave it to us at school (which I hated!) It wasn’t a common thing to get the measles after the early 70’s.

    13. More evidence that having a microphone doesn’t make you smart.

      >In 1919, there were almost 13 deaths from measles per 100,000 population in the United States. However, this rate had dropped to zero by the year 2021. 

      In 1919, there were almost 13 deaths from measles per 100,000 population in the United States. However, this rate had dropped to zero by the year 2021.

      The U.S. population in 1919 was around **104.5 million. 1045*13 = 13,585.** That would give about **45,262 deaths per year at todays populatio**n, in the US.

       My wife almost died of the measles when she was a child.

    14. I’m the same age as Joe, we all got vaccinated for measles, I have no memory of anyone getting measles when I was growing up. Up until 15 years ago I’d never heard of an outbreak until this whole anti-vax nonsense started.

      My parents both had measles and said they were glad my sister and I didn’t have to deal with it

      Conversely I had chicken pox and it sucked. I was happy my son’s had to deal with it. Id much rather get a vaccine then have chicken pox to get immunity.

    15. Another dipshit mistaking chicken pox for measles except this dipshit has a massive platform and influence. Amazing.

    16. I’m about the same age as Joe, and nobody got measles when I was a kid. He’s confusing fucking measles with chicken pox.

    17. Joe’s over here pretending he’s 80. He’s in his 50’s and the measles vaccine was available when he was a child.

    18. What idiots like this don’t get is that there are immunocompromised people like kids with kidney transplants who would get deadly sick from measles. Even if his dumb argument was correct (which it isn’t really – 500 children a year died from measles before the vaccine. Edit: that was in the US before a vaccine, looked at the link above & saw 95,000 deaths a year worldwide NOW), the reason we get vaccinated is to protect those whose own immune systems aren’t up for it.

      Same as the anti-Covid vax idiocy – I wasn’t getting it to protect myself, I was getting it to protect my 80 year old parents.

      But this is what comes of a profoundly selfish world view – people only think “how does this impact ME?” and never consider the consequences to others. God forbid you feel a little tired for 12 hours to save the life of someone’s 80 year old mother or 12 year old son with a kidney transplant. Does he ever consider that there’s basically no HARM in getting the damn vaccine, so why not just DO IT to protect those less fortunate than you?

    19. this is what happens when you promote an anti-science conspiracist for views…you can’t remember the difference between **chicken pox** and a disease that you probably never even knew anyone who contracted it growing up *because we were all vaccinated*

      Rogan and i are about the same age and seeing people my age be this stupid about vaccines and preventable illnesses blows my mind, like who fucking raised you?

    20. ‘Pox parties’ used to be a thing before the vaccine became more prevalent than the disease. Measles parties were absolutely not a thing.
