Editing this as I find them:

Joe rogan claiming that Texas won’t give vaccines to obese elderly white people because he knows one person that was denied. Denies official source. https://youtu.be/tR0bO1KKl60

Joe Rogan saying young healthy adults don’t need the vaccine because his two children didn’t have bad symptoms https://mobile.twitter.com/AlexPattyy/status/138707714515606...

You’ve misrepresented that - the story was about monoclonal antibodies, and it has been known and corroborated multiple times for a while now.

Specifically, I think he said that if a 20-year-old healthy person were to ask him if they should get the vaccine, Rogan would say “no”. He then applied the anecdote about his two kids and their experiences to it, which is obviously not very sound justification for the position. To a certain extent it’s understandable that he’d have that position given anecdotal experience, but it wasn’t the right thing to say.

Some of the recent data on the risk factors for myocarditis in young people (particularly males) is, however, at the very least, interesting. I’m not a doctor, biologist or immunologist though, so I don’t have any reason to suggest anything regarding vaccine use in young adults either way.

But neither of those are from the Robert Malone interview? Which is what Neil Young was angry about and what the GP asked for examples of misinformation from.
