Rogan got shit for talking about taking ivermectin when he had covid and about how much the drug helped him. Everyone said it was bullshit, that it was a horse deworming drug and that Ivermectin was dangerous and whatnot. There was a ton of drama about it.
It's almost like they don't WANT to find treatments for people the way a lot of this shit reads.
Joe Rogan based his stance on a study that came out. I will note that most SCIENTISTS agreed with Joe. Then, a couple of months later, it came out that the study had false data, and many co-authors dobbed in the person who made up the data
This is when scientists changed their mind, away from Rogan. With the proviso that other, more reputable scientists will continue looking into Ivermectin, just in case
Rogan got shit because he ONLY kept citing this study because he didn't want the vaccine, even though it. He was just saying something based on ideology, not on evidence.
It became increasingly problematic once normal Ivermectin ran out and people started raiding vetinary clinics. Even if you think Ivermectin helped, you can see that this is not right. All of this happened ONLY because people who are sacred of a vaccine that has had a hundred times more studies done on it than Ivermectin. And the one for Ivermectin was false.
I also note that during the Rogan/CNN interview thread on here, I pointed out many times that, 'at the time of this recording' Ivermectin wasn't proven to be effective and scientists were looking into it. Because that's what the scientists were saying if you ever bother to listen instead of making up viewpointd
I also note that the controversy during that interview wasnt Rogan's clear ideological abuses and spreading data that was false, it was how he was 'insulted.' I specifically remember you stating that CNN could no longer be trusted over them insulting Rogan..... and then completely disregarding that Rogan was lying about that particular study. Which is some straight up BS. This turned me against Rogan because this shows how utterly irresponsible and up his own ass Rogan is to not bother to see what problems he's causing
You saying that 'we aren't interest in finding leads' is a lie. We are interested in what can be proven. Not what can be falsified. If this docs study is replicated at least ten times hopefully in multiple countries, we can start believing it as true. Again, it's not that people were saying it was BS, they said Rogan had no evidence for what he was saying (at the time of that recording.) You NOT understanding this is exactly what you are complaining about others doing to Rogan.
If the vaccine was able to put in a little effort as what some people expect to prove Ivermectin was useful, this pandemic would have been over in June 2020. But, unfortunately, science has way higher standards than a study coming out in saying something
If you think anyone should give Rogan an apology, I strongly disagree. He might have backed an alternative cure. He didn't do it based on anything other than his feelings. If Ivermectin is prove effective, I'll be saying that too. Because that's how science works. If Rogan hates me for not backing up is unevidenced claims, so be it. I'll follow what the evidence says and I'm not going to kowtow to an influencers just because he has opinions
Lastly, I saw Rogan's statement yesterday. He waa talking about having alternative views on, which I suppose is great. He's just going to copy what they say instead of having thoughts himself. So I'm not that keen. I would personally much prefer that he acts like he did to the CNN guy - doesn't take what they say as true. Actually dig deeper. Also, just because he says that he that his advice shouldn't be taken doesnt mean that people aren't going to take the advice. Maybe take responsibility and understand how Rogan repeating false data (which can quickly be checked by Google on air) is going to be used by people to hurt themselves
