A group of 270 doctors signed an open letter calling on Spotify, which has exclusive rights to air Joe Rogan’s podcast, to take action against “misinformation” on the platform and increase censorship. The letter was penned in response to an episode that featured Dr. Robert Malone, one of the pioneers of mRNA technology.
The authors of the open letter disagree with some of the claims Malone made in the episode, such as the idea of “mass formation psychosis” and his allegations that hospitals inflate Covid deaths for financial gain.
Infectious disease epidemiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital Jessica Malaty Rivera often debunks what she calls medical misinformation through her Instagram account.
According to Rolling Stone, she was alerted to the episode by some of her followers. She claims she was not only horrified by the claims made in the episode but also the fact that people in her life who she considered “quite wise and discerning” were believing Malone because of his academic credibility.
