Actress Sharon Stone who has worked in front of and behind the scenes in AIDS activism and research has weighed in on controversy surrounding podcast host Joe Rogan and Spotify, the parent network of his show.
“He should put a disclaimer that he’s an a**hole and that his behavior is dangerous and affecting people’s lives and deaths. COVID is not an opinion-based situation and Mr. Rogan thinking that his opinion or disclaimer for the lives he personally has affected and caused losses of — it’s not an opinion. Mr. Rogan is risking people’s lives with his idiocy and his professing that his thoughts about COVID are opinions, infectious diseases are science, and they are fact-based situations, so the pretense that these are opinions is dangerous.
