rogan fact-checked in real time about myocarditis

[butters]

During Wednesday’s edition of his podcast, Joe Rogan denied that myocarditis – an inflammation of the heart muscle – is more commonly a side effect in children who have had Covid-19 than it is in children who have had the Covid-19 vaccine. He was immediately fact-checked by his guest Josh Szeps, who said the opposite is actually true.

After not believing Szeps, Rogan had his producer look up the information to confirm. Szeps was correct.

full transcript of their conversation about that issue:

and here's a snippet:

ROGAN: “Myocarditis is more common after Covid-19 infection than vaccination.” But is this with children?… With children is the issue.

SZEPS: Well, no. We were talking about 15-year-olds.

ROGAN: Well, we’re talking about young children… “[Males aged] 12 to 17, were [most] likely to develop myocarditis within three months of catching Covid at a rate of 450 cases per million infections. This compares to 67 cases of myocarditis per million of the same age following their second dose of Pfizer.”

SZEPS: Yeah, so you’re about eight times likelier to get myocarditis from getting Covid than from getting it from the vaccine.

yes, kids, especially boys, far more likely to get myocarditis from catching covid than from getting vaccinated

So he didn't deny anything, and was cool with being corrected


I can see why Chads upsets Butters.
