Sweet irony here. Goldberg did NOT apologize. She went on Colbert and doubled down with a "I just won't talk about this anymore." Which to my mind is just a, "I'm right, but ya'll gonna cancel me if I say that out loud, so I'll just give a 'Sorry if someone was hurt by what I said' non-apoology and hope that suffices." It doesn't.
Joe Rogan is probably more left than Whoopi Goldberg. When confronted about his stance on Myocarditis, he listened to his gues - and changed his opinion. So your "whataboutism" just fails there.
