An episode of the Joe Rogan Experience promoted what the coalition said were 'baseless conspiracy theories” about the pandemic.

YouTube deleted a recording of the Rogan podcast shortly after it was uploaded to the website by a third-party. Critics say Spotify doesn’t have robust policies to combat misinformation, like Alphabet Inc.’s Youtube, Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook and other social media companies have adopted in recent years.

In his programmes, Rogan has touted ivermectin as a potential Covid-19 therapy, which the US Food and Drug Administration has debunked. He has also previously said he does not think young people"need to worry” about being vaccinated against Covid-19.
