I’d back young

What misinformation? I have never heard Joe Rogan lie. Same can't be said for the politicians of Australia.

Two highly qualified scientists with a scientific view point on covid and the use of vaccines are suddenly misinforming the public. It's called scientific debate....that's how science works!!

I legit didn’t know Neil was still alive until this story broke. Good for him

I gather Spotify worked our that it wasn't misinformation then ?

Neil young “Wait! I was just trying to flex!”

Why not take down his comments and tell him no more opinions from him...😑...and not play his music for a week instead of this cancel and woke way of life we all seem to be falling into.

Old man take a look at my life.

Still waiting for all the world's leading scientists to point out where the misinformation was. There's open invitations to debate and address their concerns but it's strange none have the guts to enter the arena. Heaven forbid we get an open discussion on all the issues at hand

Never can figure out why hippies from the 60's that were all about nature and freedom are now advocating forcing toxic chemicals in the body.
