Joe Rogan, host of the podcast, who has openly criticized the need for vaccines against COVID-19, has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
The 54-year-old announcer revealed that he contracted the coronavirus in a recent post on social media.
“I AM CAVED. Excuse me, but we have to move the Nashville show to Sunday, October 24th. Much love to all “, he wrote together with a video of him explaining his situation.
In the clip, Rogan said he felt “very tired,” adding, “It hurt my head, and I just felt worn out.” After several tour dates in Florida.
He added that he was quarantined by the rest of his family and took a COVID test which was positive. After the result, he “threw the kitchen sink, all kinds of medicine.”
The drug Rogan said he took was “monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-Pak, prednisone, and so on. I also got a drip of NAD and a drip of vitamin and I did it three days in a row. We are here on Wednesday and I feel very good ”.
Ivermectin has not been recommended by the FDA as a treatment for COVID-19.
“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, everyone. Stop it, ”the Federal Food and Drug Administration he tweeted last month next to a link to an article entitled “Why not use Ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19”? Ivermectin is approved for both humans and animals, however, overly concentrated animal drugs can be extremely toxic to humans.
Rogan has been embroiled in many coronavirus-related controversies in the past. In an April episode of his popular Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” he advised “healthy” 21-year-olds not to get the vaccine.
“Are you healthy?” Said Rogan. “Are you a healthy person? Look, don’t do anything stupid, but you should be careful. You should do it: if you’re a healthy person and you exercise all the time, you’re young and you eat well, for example, I don’t think you have to worry about that, ”he said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci then slapped the host on the “Today” program and said his comments were incorrect. “You talk about yourself in a vacuum,” he said. “If you only want to worry about yourself and not about society, nothing happens. But you tell yourself, ‘Even if I get infected, it could hurt someone else, even if I had no symptoms,’ and that’s why you need to be careful and get vaccinated. ”
However, Rogan stepped back in his controversial comments and clarified his statements. “I’m not a doctor, I’m an idiot,” Rogan said in another episode. “I’m not a respected source of information, not even for myself … But at least I try to be honest about what I say.”
He added: “I am not an anti-vax person. I said I think they are safe and I encourage a lot of people to take them. My parents were vaccinated. I just said that if you are a young and healthy person you don’t need it. “
According to reports, his staff at Spotify was outraged last month for their opinions and comments. “I am personally concerned about his transphobic comments and I am concerned about how he might spread misinformation,” an employee wrote last year on the internal network channel’s Fishbowl app, Insider reported.
Rogan later clashed with the passports of the COVID-19 vaccine, which provide evidence of vaccination, and said they would bring the United States “one step closer to dictatorship.”
