It’s highly unlikely that podcaster Joe Rogan will feel compelled to get vaccinated against COVID-19 anytime soon.
Rogan confronted CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. The two squared about issues related to the virus Rogan’s use of ivermectin.
Rogan pushed back against skeptics who have called ivermectin a horse dewormer. “Calling it a ‘horse dewormer’ is not the most flattering thing,” said Gupta.
“It’s a lie.” “It’s a lie on a news network … and it’s a lie that they’re conscious of. It’s not a mistake,” Rogan said, referring to CNN’s recent reporting about Rogan’s COVID diagnosis. “They’re unfavorably framing it as veterinary medicine.”
As you can imagine, Gupta is under tremendous scrutiny from the left for sitting down with Rogan in the first place.
Gupta classified his appearance on Rogan’s show as a “futile” attempt to convince him to get the vaccine.
“I realized that if I was serious about trying to communicate about public health, I needed to go to a less comfortable place,” Gupta wrote on CNN’s website. “I needed to go into the lion’s den and accept an invitation to sit down with Joe Rogan for more than three hours.”
