Ivermectin is a horse-dewormer. The CDC has issued an advisory against the use of the drug to treat COVID-19. The dewormer is not proven to cure COVID-19, and large amounts can cause toxic effects on humans.
Rogan has promoted COVID-19 misinformation in the past and invited anti-vaxxers to his podcast. After being criticized for telling people in their 20s not to get the vaccine in April, Rogan said in April that he was not a doctor. "I'm a f---ing lunatic."
It is not known if Rogan has been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Spotify has an exclusive deal worth approximately $100 million with Rogan. Spotify could not be reached immediately for comment.
