In a recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, rapper Ice Cube admitted that he didn’t land a $9 million movie deal after refusing to take the COVID vaccine.
QUICK FACTS:
- During an appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience,” famous rapper Ice Cube told the host he refused a hefty movie deal after learning he would be forced to take a COVID-19 shot.
- Ice Cube said he had never spoken on the matter publicly and didn’t reveal his vaccination status or speak negatively about the producers, but said getting vaccinated was never going to happen.
- “They try to, you know, put my business in the street, put pressure on me, everybody around me tell me how stupid I am so I can go get vaxxed and say you know: ‘Please let me do the movie,'” Ice Cube said. “You know that was never gonna happen. I don’t care if it was 20 million. That was never gonna happen.”
- The rapper also called out the influence of the mainstream media, saying they are “really just an extension of these corporate conglomerates” who want to control people.
- Ice Cube said that people are being “steamrolled” by these elites, and urged people to “stand up” and “push back” whenever they can.
- “You know, it’s like, I didn’t lose $9 million,” he said. “Because I’ve never had it like if you never have some [expletive] you can’t lose it. Okay? You lose it when it’s in your bank account and you look up and it’s gone. You know, I’m saying but if you never had it, I didn’t lose it. It just was never given to me.”
ICE CUBE ON HOLLYWOOD COLLECTIVELY MANDATING THE COVID VACCINE:
“The strangest thing, you know. All the producers in Hollywood decided that they don’t want anyone on their movie set that haven’t gotten the vaccine,” Ice Cube said.
BACKGROUND:
- A pre-print study published in early June 2023, confirms that adverse events caused by the COVID-19 vaccine are not being reported.
- The study, written in Epidemiology and Health, examined the reporting rates of adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) to a spontaneous reporting system (SRS) and its predictors among individuals with AEFIs after COVID-19 vaccination.
- They analyzed a cross-sectional, web-based survey conducted from December 2 to 20, 2021, and recruited 2,993 participants who had completed a primary COVID vaccination series more than 14 days prior.
- “Reporting rates were calculated by dividing the number of participants who reported AEFIs to the SRS by the total number of participants who experienced AEFIs,” the authors explained. “We estimated adjusted odds ratios (AORs) using multivariate logistic regression to determine factors associated with spontaneous AEFI reporting.”
- A 2010 analysis submitted to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) confirmed that fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events that do occur are ever reported.
- “Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported,” write the analysis authors, adding that “[a]lthough 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”
