Senator J.D. Vance appeared on the “Joe Rogan Experience” on Thursday and discussed a wide range of topics related to his experience and the campaign.

During the three-hour conversation, Vance spoke about his skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine to Rogan, who has made false claims about vaccines on his show.

The COVID-19 vaccines have proven effective in preventing serious illness and deaths from the virus. Some side effects of the vaccine include “pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, chills, fever and nausea,” and typically go away within a few days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. and Prevention.

Vance claimed on the show that he was “red pilled” after experiencing side effects after taking an unidentified COVID-19 vaccine.

“We’re not even allowed to talk about the fact that I was as sick as I’d ever been for two days, and the worst COVID experience I had was like a sinus infection. I’m not really willing to trade that,” Vance claimed.

Vance also said he worried that in 30 to 40 years there could be a “conflict” with developing countries because they have a negative view of Westerners because they “give them health care that is not actually health care,” referring to vaccines.

The senator also claimed that people become trans or gender non-binary to reject their white privilege and participate in DEI programs to gain admission to Ivy League colleges.
