Andrew Tate is a name that needs no introduction at this point. The former kickboxing champion rose to fame over the last few years with his rather controversial opinions. While it has led to him being banned from the majority of the big social media platforms, it has also helped Tate garner a massive fan following. However, he is unfazed by the ban and continues to share his views.

Tate is also known as somebody who is not afraid of making his opinions heard. And he did the same recently by vowing to put $500k on the line in Joe Rogan’s challenge for Peter Hotez.

What did Andrew Tate say in response to Joe Rogan’s $100k challenge for Peter Hotez?

Much like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan is somebody who is not afraid of anybody when it comes to making his opinions heard. During one of the recent episodes Rogan, who has frequently stated his opposition to Covid vaccines, was discussing the same with special guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Interestingly, not everybody seems to have agreed with what was said on the show, including Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccine researcher involved in the development of Corbevax (a COVID vaccine).

Following the show, Hortez took to Twitter and called them out for spreading misinformation. Reacting to the same, Joe Rogan offered $100k to Dr. Peter Hotez to discuss the same on his podcast.

 

Interestingly, Rogan was also backed by Elon Musk. And now it looks like Andrew Tate is ready to up the stakes by putting in $500k of his own. He took to Twitter to declare the same and said:

“I’ll add 500k. But I also want to state a lot of the nerds who are anti-vax now we’re total Covid p*ssies at the start. A lot of them even took the vaccine.”

Has Tate always been Anti-Vax?

The former kickboxer was anti-vax up until recently. While the Covid vaccines were being mandated in the majority of countries around the world, ‘Top G’ was quite vocal about how people should be given a choice with what they want to do with their bodies.

However, following his release from prison earlier this year, he seemed to have changed his stance on the vaccine mandates and admitted that he might have made a mistake in judging the medicine.

But it seems like Tate wasn’t being serious about his stance. He might have just played with the vaccine supporters, as he later berated them. And now is also supporting Rogan in his challenge against Hotez.

What is your thought on Andrew Tate’s stand for Rogan? What do you guys think about Rogan’s challenge?
