During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, podcast host Joe Rogan and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers discussed a controversial new study that alleges significant deaths linked to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines—specifically Pfizer’s formulation.
The conversation centered around data-adjusted findings from VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), MIT researchers, and the Florida Department of Health.
BREAKING – A joint MIT and Florida Health study, using adjusted VAERS data, now estimates that Pfizer’s C-19 mRNA vaccine may be linked to 470,000 to 600,000 American deaths

Rogan introduced the topic by referencing a study he had sent to his producer.
“Sent Jamie this study. VAERS adjusted data and other derived from the MIT, Florida Department of Health study findings that yield a conservative range of 470,000 to 670,000 American deaths from the COVID-19 mRNA shots,” Rogan said.
Rodgers reacted to the numbers with disbelief. “That’s it? Just that alone, that’s a lot of people, man.”

Rogan responded by putting the figures into historical context.
“More than World War One, World War Two and Vietnam combined. If that’s true, it indicates Pfizer. This is Pfizer alone. So this is not even Moderna. Pfizer alone, likely killed over 470,000 Americans. They found a 36% increase in all-cause mortality among Pfizer recipients versus more Moderna.”
Rodgers responded with a common defense offered by vaccine advocates: “Yeah, but they saved millions.”
Rogan replied bluntly: “Yeah, I keep hearing that.”
But it was what came next that was truly disturbing.
This was a bombshell and there is no denying it anymore.

The remarks stem from a growing body of public skepticism surrounding the safety and efficacy claims made about the COVID-19 vaccines, particularly as more long-term data and independent reviews surface.
The MIT and Florida Department of Health analyses cited by Rogan and referenced in the discussion challenge the mainstream narrative that the vaccines were universally safe and effective.
Rogan and Rodgers have both previously expressed criticism of the federal government’s COVID-19 response, including vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and censorship of medical dissent.
The VAERS-based study they discussed is among several being debated in recent months as public trust in pharmaceutical companies and public health institutions continues to erode.
Neither Pfizer nor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has directly responded to the specific claims raised in Rogan’s discussion at the time of this article’s publication.
The CDC maintains that the vaccines were thoroughly tested, monitored, and continue to be safe and effective against severe COVID-19 outcomes.
The conversation between Rogan and Rodgers highlights ongoing scrutiny of the mRNA vaccine rollout and the lasting impact it may have on public policy and health freedom debates going forward.

At present a lot of words but actions zero!!!!! Is there a penalty murder???????
Didn’t you know?
Justice for the common man is DIY these days.
Good luck.
May be under Bondi as Garland went as demented as Biden — but look at Cuomo he caused deaths with proof and as a Democ rat 🐀 of the fascist party he is allowed to run for office again. We poor mortals were allowed to die !!
WELL YOU COULD SAY THAT DOKTOR MENEGELA SAVED MILLIONS OF NAZI SOLDIERS BY HIS EXPERIMENTS ON DEATH CAMP PRISONERS JUST LIKE PIZER AND FAUCI HAVE.
Was the “cure” almost as bad as the disease?
The “cure” was far worse than the disease!
Accountability is demanded !! Any FaucI connection ?? Or Biden era of deception ?? Or let’s get some real legal evidence so that it never happens again ??
Revoke the pardons of Fauci and everyone involved with this. Then, don’t have anymore of these stupid worthless feckless GOP hearings. Just arrest them, put them in a general population cell. Let them rot in there until their trial (against humanity and the public good) starts. And if Bondi resists this and throwing the book at these tyrants, then replace her with someone who seriously wants real justice!!!
