    Agreed and it was wishful thinking that LV would even compete, BUT nothing like Goodell and sub sub sub par officiating to let the Bungles get a very undeserved win. But hey they ended the lets not talk about anything else for 3 hours 30 year slump so that happened.

    Have to say that there were a few questionable calls

    To be fair, we set rules (rightly or wrongly) that you need to be double vaxxed to come to Australia.
    Certainly not the only country with that rule.
    Add to that he has been out and about while covid positive before, and also that he admitted to lies on his visa application, and there is no way he'd make it in if he was any regular guy.
    Pretty sure 99% of Australian's are happy to see rules apply to everyone and are would be happy to see him on a plane home.

    Agree 100 %

    I agree, I'm familiar with Joe Rogan and have seen some clips of his,  but have never listened to any of his podcast episodes.  But as usual a story like this seems way overblown just to try to bring someone down for no other reason then he has a big following and questions a narrative.  He stated something that was based on studies that have shown some young males experience myocarditis after receiving the vaccine.  And the other person cited another study that didn't contradict what Joe said but rather added context.  The story doesn't even say whether that other study has been thoroughly peer reviewed or anything like that.  So we have one person citing a study and another citing another study.   If that means he's constantly spreading misinformation than I'd say just about every news outlet, politician and even some health experts have done the same over the last two years when it comes to covid.

    What happened if you read the article or watch the video is that Rogan said something that was incorrect and the other person called him out on it.Rogan had his own producer search for the correct answer on the internet.So the other person didn't cite another story-it was Rogan's own producer who bitch slapped Rogan !:rofl2:

    This current obsession in attacking Rogan has nothing to do with covid and everything to do with attacking a powerful alternate source of information other than the 99% Democrat controlled mainstream media in the US.

    That's the typical right wing response in the USA but again it's false.99% democrat controlled media ?? Not true

    Joe Rogan Gets Brutally Fact Checked In Real-Time By Aussie Podcast Guest

    Joe Rogan Gets Brutally Fact Checked In Real-Time By Aussie Podcast Guest

    Joe Rogan may think he has all the information when it comes to Covid-19, but he was just proven wrong in real-time on his own podcast.

    The podcaster sat down with Australian broadcaster and fellow podcast host Josh Szeps for a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

    Everything was going well until, Rogan began spouting some incorrect information about myocarditis.

    Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscles and can be a side effect of the Pfizer vaccine, but is much more commonly a result of contracting the Covid-19 virus.

     

    Rogan boldly stated that myocarditis is a 'common' side effect in children who have had the vaccine, but Szeps cut him off quickly to point out that it isn't true.

    "For young boys in particular, there's an adverse risk associated with the vaccine. There's like a two to fourfold increase in the instances of myocarditis versus hospitalization," Rogan said during their chat.

    Szeps responded with: "You know that there's an increased risk in myocarditis among that age cohort from getting Covid as well - which exceeds the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine."

     

    "I don't think that's true. I don't think it's true," Rogan combatted.

    And the final shutdown from Szeps: "It is."

    So what does Rogan do when faced with someone using facts against him?

     

    He turns to the internet.

    "Well let's look that up, because I don't think that's true," he said, quickly putting his producer on the job.

    Related video:

    Unfortunately for Rogan, the producer found this article from UK-based science journal, The New Scientist, which clearly supported Szeps.

    "[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," Rogan reads aloud from the story.

    "Yeah, so you're about eight times likelier to get myocarditis from getting Covid than from getting it from the vaccine," Szeps confirmed.

    What I find particularly amazing is how quickly Rogan moves past this.

    "That's interesting. That is not what I've read before," he said, before going off on a tangent about fact-checking and finding information on the internet.

     

    Spotify, the streaming service that hosts Rogan's podcast, was recently sent a petition from 270 doctors and scientists.

    They were calling on Spotify to punish Rogan for being a 'menace to public health' and for spouting misinformation on the coronavirus pandemic.

    Yet, because he is a tool of the left wing, no one cares about his history.

    He's 81 years old and served under 6 different presidents.3 democrats and 3 republicans so I don't see how he's a tool of the left.At this stage of his life he should be spending his money not keep working.

    lol, yeah, they are the reasons, he he he, so I guess Cuomo and AOC are 2 of the reasons New York is now a shit hole, at least NYC,

    I said they're 2 of the reasons,not the only reasons-big diff.

    Kentucky has no problem taking more tax dollars than they put in,unlike NY.You might think NYC is a shit hole but

    I haven't been to NYC in a long while but as I stated before I'm living the dream !

    I remember when that asshole Paul voted against funding the first responders and victims of 9/11-that piece of shit is dead to me.

    True !

    Also Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell are 2 of the reasons why Kentucky is one of the poorest and least educated states.

  10. Here's what Nadal said :

     

    The ignominy of Novak Djokovic’s attempt to enter Australia to pursue a record 21st grand slam singles title was driven home on Thursday when Rafael Nadal responded to the world No 1’s visa cancellation by stressing the necessity of being vaccinated against Covid.

    After spending his first night in Australia at the airport being interrogated by border officials, Djokovic spent the second in a quarantine hotel awaiting a visa appeal hearing on Monday. It followed an extraordinary day of rolling developments, with the Serbian player at the centre of a diplomatic and political furore over the validity of his medical exemption from Covid-19 vaccination.

     

    Nadal, however, saw it in simpler terms. Speaking after he successfully returned to competition for the first time since August with a straight sets win over Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania, he reiterated that the clearest way to ensure participation in Melbourne was through embracing vaccination and that Djokovic had known the conditions for many months.

    “The only thing that I can say is I believe in what the people who know about medicine say, and if the people say that we need to get vaccinated, we need to get the vaccine. That’s my point of view,” said Nadal.

    He continued: “I went through the Covid. I have been vaccinated twice. If you do this, you don’t have any problem playing here. That’s the only clear thing. The rest of the things, I don’t want to have or to give to you an opinion that I don’t have the whole information. The only clear thing for me is if you are vaccinated, you can play in the Australian Open and everywhere, and the world in my opinion has been suffering enough to not follow the rules.”

    Nadal was asked if he felt sorry for Djokovic given the torrid situation his rival is now in, but the Spaniard’s response indicated that his sympathy was limited. Nadal said that decisions come with consequences, as has been the case for Djokovic after his decision to fly to Melbourne despite being unvaccinated.

    “I think if he wanted, he would be playing here in Australia without a problem. He made his own decisions, and everybody is free to take their own decisions, but then there are some consequences. Of course I don’t like the situation that is happening. In some way I feel sorry for him. But at the same time he knew the conditions since a lot of months ago, so he makes his own decision.”
