Popular podcast host Joe Rogan is accusing CNN of making up claims about his experience with COVID-19.

During an episode of his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the host asked, “Bro, do I have to sue CNN?” 

“They’re making sh*t up. They keep saying I’m taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. It’s an American company. They won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for use in human beings, and CNN is saying I’m taking horse dewormer. They must know that’s a lie,” he added.

Rogan, who is not a medical expert, shared last week that he contracted the coronavirus and “immediately threw the kitchen sink at it, all kinds of med.”

He revealed that one of the medications he took was ivermectin, which health experts have warned against taking as a treatment for the virus.

The podcast host added that he was “feeling great” at the time.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ivermectin is “approved for human use to treat infections caused by some parasitic worms and head lice and skin conditions like rosacea.”

The drug is also used to treat intestinal worms in livestock, and some have focused on its use in livestock to criticize those who have touted it as a potential treatment.

CNN’s Jim Acosta on Sunday interviewed Dr. Anthony Fauci and said that Rogan was “taking the livestock dewormer ivermectin.”

While the FDA has approved ivermectin for human use, it warns that it has “not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals.”

The agency also notes that studies have not found ivermectin to be effective against the coronavirus and that taking large doses is dangerous.

Additionally, the FDA said there is an “animal ivermectin” that is “very different from those approved for humans.”

“Use of animal ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in humans is dangerous,” it adds.

The FDA says, “The most effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19 include getting a COVID-19 vaccine when it is available to you and following current CDC guidance.”
