Joe Rogan Confronts CNN’s Medical Correspondent About Network’s ‘Lie’ That He Took ‘Horse Dewormer’

Podcast host Joe Rogan is accusing CNN of lying by claiming that he took a horse dewormer to treat COVID-19.

During an episode of his podcast, “The 👤Joe Rogan Experience,” CNN’s chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta said, “Horse dewormer’s not a flattering thing, I get that.”

“It’s a lie, it’s a lie on a news network, and that’s a lie that they’re conscious of. That’s not a mistake. They’re unfavorably framing it as veterinary medicine,” Rogan responded.

Gupta noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent out a “snarky” tweet about the veterinary version of ivermectin that read, “You are not a horse, you are not a cow” and urged people to “stop taking this stuff.”

However, Rogan noted that ivermectin is also taken by humans and asked, “Why would they lie and say that’s horse dewormer? I can afford people medicine, motherf***er. This is ridiculous. It’s just a lie.”

He asked, “Don’t you think that a lie like that is dangerous on a news network when you know that they know that they’re lying?”

“Do you think that that’s a problem that your news network lies?” Rogan pressed.

Gupta asked what was said on the network that was false. Rogan explained that the journalists on CNN claimed he was taking a horse dewormer. He added that a doctor prescribed ivermectin to him.

The medical correspondent responded, “They shouldn’t have said it was . If you got a human pill, because there were people that were taking the veterinary medication…and you’re not obviously you got it from a doctor, so it shouldn’t be called that.”

Rogan asked, “Does it bother you that the news network you work for out and out lied, just outright lied about me taking horse dewormer?”
