Joe Rogan’s COVID treatment blasted by CNN medical analyst: ‘He’s not helping matters’

CNN healthcare analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner laid into influential podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan on Don Lemon Tonight Wednesday. In an Instagram article before in the working day, Rogan uncovered that he has COVID-19, and went on to record the multiple unproven or disproven medication he took in an try to struggle the virus.

In the video clip, Rogan said, “Turns out I bought COVID, so we instantly threw the kitchen area sink at it. All sorts of meds. Monoclonal antibodies, Ivermectin, Z-Pak, Prednisone, every little thing.”

Rogan walked again anti-vaccination opinions he produced previously this yr, saying, “I am not a medical professional. I am a f**king moron.” Reiner quoted that assertion and said he doesn’t “quibble with that” prior to going on to Rogan’s most recent remarks.

“He’s, all over again, producing a terrific deal of general public disservice,” Reiner mentioned, “when he describes a completely jumbled, type of self-established healthcare program that he is on ideal now.”

Reiner then went on to describe why every single medication Rogan named will not work in this predicament. Of ivermectin, the horse dewormer that has lately come to be popular among the some who refuse to get vaccinated, Reiner flat out claimed that it does not work for COVID and “we know that.” Reiner explained that monoclonal antibodies are not for Rogan, they are for people with delicate to average signs or symptoms at large danger of progression, and that it doesn’t look like Rogan falls into that group. Reiner explained that Z-Pak is antibacterial which in no way will function for a viral health issues, and that prednisone is for hospitalized clients on oxygen remedy.

“He’s promoting, sort of a nuts jumble of, you know, type of folk solutions and net-recommended medicine. It really is, yet again, harmful now,” Reiner said. “He really should have a lot more perception. After encountering the sickness, and again, I hope he does effectively and will get very well rapidly, he’s not assisting matters when he promotes this kind of nonsense therapeutic combine.”

Rogan is just the newest in a string of COVID skeptics to be stricken with the virus, which Reiner hopes will compel him to force vaccination.

Tale proceeds

“This is the missed prospect for individuals like Mr. Rogan,” Reiner claimed. “He has all of these listeners, and the people that are listening to him are the the very least vaccinated team in the United States, kind of this 18 to 30-12 months-aged group, individuals who believe they are invulnerable who have listened to him, and who have resolved they really don’t have to have to be vaccinated. He has the ear of these men and women. He could be a force for vaccinating this region, for putting the virus down by simply just indicating, ‘You know a thing? I was erroneous.’”

Rogan not too long ago struck a big deal with Spotify, and reaches hundreds of thousands of men and women above various platforms. Don Lemon thinks Rogan has a obligation to tell the real truth about COVID.

“As someone who has that massive a platform — what does he have, 13 million followers on Instagram and however lots of individuals listen to his podcast — he has a duty to explain to people today the truth, and to support folks,” Lemon claimed. “Quite honestly, in this natural environment when there’s a world pandemic, to convey to people today to get vaccinated, to maintain on their own healthier.”

Lemon also pointed out that not all people can afford all the treatment plans Rogan experimented with, which also incorporates an NAD drip and a vitamin drip.

“All of that expenditures money, the vaccine is free of charge,” Lemon explained. “Joe Rogan has a whole lot of dollars. I’m certain a good deal of people today who listen to him really do not have a large amount of income.”
