Joe Rogan, one of the most popular podcasters in the world, has cancelled a sold-out gig at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena because of provincial COVID-19 vaccine mandates..And the show isn’t even happening until April 20, TMZ reported Wednesday morning..Rogan said he is cancelling because Rogers Arena requires proof of vaccination to attend events — and the fact he’s unlikely even to be allowed to enter Canada..“I should probably say this because I haven’t yet. My 4/20 show that’s sold out in Vancouver, I don’t think that’s happening,” he told his podcast on Wednesday..“I don’t think I can even get into the country. I’m not vaccinated. I’m not gonna get vaccinated. I have antibodies. It doesn’t make any sense.”.Rogan has been a vocal anti-vaxxer in the US — promoting treatments that aren’t medically recommended like Ivermectin and Zithromax. .Rogan contracted COVID in September and claimed the various meds he took cured him..The 54-year-old gained fame as comedian, actor and UFC commentator. He appeared as an actor on several television shows including Hardball and NewsRadio..On May 19, 2020, Rogan announced he had signed a multi-year licensing deal with Spotify, worth an estimated $100 million, making it one of the largest licensing agreements in the podcast business..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
