Joe Rogan is prone to falling for fake news on the internet and go on lengthy tirades on his podcast. The long-time UFC commentator’s gullibility has caused problems for a doctor based in Florida.
Joe Rogan Experience is consistently the most-streamed podcast in the United States of America. When Rogan is not calling fights octagon-side, he is in the studio. In a recent episode of his podcast, featuring guest, Bret Weinstein, Rogan discussed a lengthy conversation about a fake tweet.
In the episode, Rogan and his guest discuss a fake tweet from Dr. Natalia, based in Florida. The lack of fact-checking led to Rogan going on a ramble which caused trouble for the doctor. “I will never regret the vaccine. Even if it turns out I injected actual poison and have only days to live,” read the fake tweet.
This segment takes place in episode #1919. The conversation now seems to have been removed from the actual podcast. Rogan has been guilty of falling for fake news on numerous occasions. For instance, his rant on Australia not allowing people to grow their own food, and his unnecessary emotional speech over a Youtube boxing match between creators, “Dad” and Matt Watson.

Joe Rogan apologizes for ranting over “fake tweet”
Rogan has revealed that he has deleted the segment from his podcast. Still, fans have managed to upset the user “Dr. Natalia” forcing her to go private on Twitter. The podcaster has now come out to apologize for his mistake and admitted he was tricked.
“I was informed last night that this tweet is fake. The show was already out, so we initially decided to post a notice saying we got tricked, then later thought it best to just delete it from the episode. My sincere apologies to everyone, especially the person who got hoaxed,” wrote Rogan.
