And here's the only time the COVID-19 vaccine was brought up. Rogan only slid it in there to talk about "election denial" and Trump focused on elections and didn't say anything about the COVID vaccine.

Joe Rogan (01:22:13):

My point is this idea of election fraud is a forbidden topic, and you get labeled an election denier. It’s like being labeled an anti-vaxxer if you question some of the health consequences that people have had from the COVID-19 shots. “Oh my God, you’re an anti-vaxxer.” If you say, and what I say publicly, and I’ve said this a lot, it’s not 0%. So if you ask me what is the amount of election fraud in this country? Is it 0%? No one thinks it’s 0%. I’ve never met one person, not a super liberal, progressive, far-left person or a right-wing conservative, not one person thinks it’s 0%. They think when you have human beings, and also you have a lot of weirdness that was going on during the 2020 elections, particularly with mail-in ballots.

Donald Trump (01:23:03):

And you had legislatures that had to approve and they didn’t approve and they went out and did it anyway, and you had ballot… You had old-fashioned ballot screwing. You had people going up and dropping in phony votes. You had unsigned ballots, et cetera, et cetera.​

And that talked about vaccines briefly i general to discuss why some people don't like RFK Jr. Trump brought up how great the polio vaccine was and Joe Rogan pointed out that some people got polio from the vaccine.

Joe Rogan (02:00:50):

… some pharmaceutical drugs that have been prescribed that have negative consequences that these people have been profiting off of, and then you have a guy, RFK Junior, who spends an enormous amount of time highlighting those things, you could see how they’d be very reluctant to have you support him.

Donald Trump (02:01:04):

I would say that’s an understatement.

Joe Rogan (02:01:06):

Yeah. So what do you do to stop that from getting in the way?

Donald Trump (02:01:10):

Well look, they’ve come up with some amazing things. I mean, I don’t know how you feel. I know you’re against certain vaccines. But the polio vaccine, people had polio, it was like a disaster. And they came up, Dr. Salk, and he came up with a vaccine, and there’s no polio. Now, very interesting there hasn’t been polio, but now in the Gaza Strip… Can you believe that? Have you heard that? There’s been a big strain of polio coming out in the Gaza Strip?

Joe Rogan (02:01:38):

Is it vaccine-derived polio? Because there’s a strain of polio that comes directly from the vaccine. Because unfortunately, sometimes when you vaccinate-

Donald Trump (02:01:44):

I don’t know.

Joe Rogan (02:01:45):

… people for polio, you have to give them polio.

Donald Trump (02:01:46):

Oh, I see. See, I haven’t heard that. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (02:01:48):

Yeah.​

So to [MENTION=40029]PAF[/MENTION]'s point, Joe Rogan never forced Trump to answer any questions about the efficacy and safety of the Operation Warp Speed vaccines. [MENTION=10908]dannno[/MENTION] is right that there was some discussion about the polio vaccine, but Trump had nothing to do with that vaccine.

Seems a bit like Rogan slipped it in to see if Trump would run with it. Kind of CYA on Rogan's part. "Hey, I brought it up, he didn't bite".

Trump glazed over it.

Could be that the Trump team stipulates that the vaccine, lock-downs, and Trump's COVID stimulus must not be mentioned. Imagine that.

I guess Trump is capable of saying what he wants and not saying what he shouldn't.
Imagine he did talk about COVID and the vaccine. Imagine he admitted the failures and even accepted his share of responsibility, what then? This thread would simply have a different title and topic. It is certainly not in Trumps best interest to breach a topic that controversial a couple of weeks out when he is riding the high wave.

 

[Anti Globalist]

Clearly Trump's plan is to wait after the election to throw the Covid vaccines under the bus.

Yep and part of me thinks this may even be why Rogan didn't press the issue.

Because he knows it makes Trump look bad.

I don't think Rogan ever claimed to be a good journalist LOL
