Joe Rogan hosted former UFC star Quinton “Rampage” Jackson recently for the first time on his podcast. The duo discussed things from MMA to Pride Fighting Championships and landed on the topic of Ivermectin. Rogan and Jackson seemed to agree that the media had portrayed Rogan’s promotion of certain medications in a biased way.
Rogan disclosed that he took a variety of multivitamins and medications, including Ivermectin when he was sick with COVID-19. However, the media focused only on the controversial medications and did not mention the other supplements that contributed to his recovery. Rogan also accused the mainstream media of tarnishing his reputation. Now, Rogan once again praised the benefits of Ivermectin.
They could have saved a lot of life and still to this day they ridicule it….But meanwhile doctors prescribed it…It stops viral replication in vitro…it is not dangerous, it is one of the safest drug profiles of any drug. It’s not a dangerous thing to take.

Joe Rogan noted that Ivermectin could have saved more lives if they used it properly during the pandemic. When injected into a cell, Ivermectin can stop the virus from replicating itself. It also prevents diseases like COVID-19, yellow fever, and dengue. The criticism aimed at Rogan was so severe that UFC CEO Dana White came to the podcaster’s defense.

Rogan also expressed his disappointment with the media establishment. Despite doctors prescribing the medicine, they did not share their insights with the public through the media. It seemed that the government was solely focused on maximizing profits. Jackson supported most of Rogan’s points and even shared an incident involving Ivermectin.

I got this friend…She got this assistant from some South American country and they had symptoms like COVID years ago… They took Ivermectin. She told me about it, ‘If you get COVID, let me know, I’m gonna get you some Ivermectin. My son caught COVID and I got the medicine and I gave it to him.
