Podcast host Joe Rogan said Thursday he’s “terrified” at the direction the country is going, and said vaccine proof is “one step” towards China’s “social credit score system.”

During a discussion on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast about what China is doing to regulate the internet, the host warned about giving the government similar control of our “everyday lives” with things like vaccine passports.

It starts at the 8:14 minute mark.

“That’s what’s going to happen with the vaccine passport,” the host shared at the time. “That’s what’s going to happen if they close borders. You can’t enter New York City unless you have your papers! You can’t go here unless you have that! You can’t get on a plane unless you do what I say.”
