Joe Rogan responds to backlash over using horse medication: \u201cStay salty\u201d YouTube: PowerfulJREPodcast host Joe Rogan has issued a response to the backlash surrounding his use of Ivermectin \u2014 a medication that can be used to treat heartworms in livestock and other animals. Joe Rogan is one of the most popular podcast hosts on the net, best known for the slew of unique and highly varied guests he invites onto his show, \u2018The Joe Rogan Experience.\u2019 In a video uploaded to Instagram on September 1, Rogan revealed that he had tested positive amid the current global health situation\u2026 but that fact alone wasn\u2019t what sent the internet into a frenzy. Instead, it was Rogan\u2019s claims that he was partly treating his medical condition with Ivermectin, a medication used to treat conditions caused by parasitic worms in both humans and animals. It\u2019s important to note that different versions of the product exist for both people and pets, and are only safe for animals when used as prescribed, as told by the FDA. View this post on Instagram Joe Rogan sparks outrage on the internet over Ivermectin usage In his video, Rogan claimed he was using a \u201ckitchen sink\u201d worth of medication to help treat his health condition, Ivermectin among them. This sparked a wave of backlash against the host, with the likes of CNN claiming he\u2019d \u201cspread dangerous misinformation\u201d regarding proper treatment for the issue, among a number of tweets roasting his medical decisions. A week after his initial announcement, Rogan returned to the studio to discuss the outrage surrounding his September 1 video, claiming that \u201cmultiple doctors\u201d had recommended the drug to him. \u201cWhat they didn\u2019t highlight was that I got better!\u201d Rogan argued of public perception toward his choices. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to make it seem as if I\u2019m doing some wacky s**t that\u2019s completely ineffective, and CNN was saying that I\u2019m \u2018a distributor of misinformation.’\u201d Joe Rogan responds to critics of his medical treatment Rogan went on to explain that he immediately medicated himself upon learning he was positive over the weekend, and claimed that he was feeling \u201cpretty f**king good\u201d once Monday rolled around, having also taken \u201chigh-dose\u201d IV drips of Vitamin C alongside his Ivermectin dosage. \u201cBecause I wasn\u2019t scared\u2026 what they would like, is when I did get sick, that I [would get] really sick and get really scared and learn my lesson,\u201d he added. \u201cI bounced back just about as quick as you can. They\u2019re haters. \u2026they\u2019re weak b***es. Stay salty.\u201d The host\u2019s speedy recovery period and attitude toward his critics has become a hot topic of conversation online, prompting yet another conversation regarding his methods. The FDA has not approved Ivermectin to treat the illness brought on by the global health crisis, and has stated that taking the drug in large doses is \u201cdangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
