"Joe Rogan's AIDS Denialism Controversy Sparks Outrage on Spotify"

TL;DR
Joe Rogan, during a podcast with Bret Weinstein, erroneously suggested that poppers, a huffing drug used for anal sex and quick dancefloor highs, may contribute to the spread of AIDS more than the actual HIV virus. This claim goes against established science and is often used as a means of homophobia. Rogan referenced the discredited "Deusberg hypothesis" that suggests recreational drug use in queer men's communities is a more compelling factor in developing AIDS than HIV infection. This dangerous misinformation is being spread to Rogan's tens of millions of listeners.
