"The EG.5 subvariant is already in Argentina, could COVID cases increase?"

It's a mistake to treat this forum as a right-wing echo chamber, there are quite a few of us who are non-US, and also some who are liberal in their political leanings. And, speaking for myself, we can be vocal, so expect pushback when you drop some of the wilder US beliefs here.

I'm an incredibly tedious centrist Brit. Being anti-vax crosses all political leanings. This forum isn't a right-wing echo chamber. I tend to sort people into camps marked sensible and gibberish.

Is Joe Rogan an authority on anything? I really don't understand this personality cult thing going on here.

Joe Rogan interviews interesting people on his three hour podcasts, many of the people he interviews are "controversial" as well as "authorities" in their professions. He isn't the leader of any movement or group. He has a huge audience, not a cult following.

"Joe Rogan is the mst powerful journalist who has ever lived...by an order of magnitude...and if you don't know that you are not in the modern world." Jordan Peterson (several days ago in an interview with Piers Morgan at minute 14:00).

Rogan is now probably consdered as leaning to the right as he recently indicated he would probably vote for Trump over Biden should the two men face off in 2024, but it is important to know why:
