One of the most well-known podcasters in the world, Joe Rogan has tested positive for COVID-19, posting an announcement in a video yesterday.

In the clip, which went viral yesterday, Rogan also announced that he has begun a treatment plan that includes the controversial drug called Ivermectin, which has been in the news recently for causing sickness in people who attempt to use it to treat COVID-19.

Joe Rogan: I'm not putting that COVID vaccine in my body! Who knows what it could do?

Also Joe Rogan: I got COVID so I took monoclonal antibodies, Ivermectin, Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, Z-Pak, some pills I found stuck in the cabinet, steroids, and long expired Crystal Pepsi.

Many people were quick to note how, due to Rogan's large presence online, that his handling of COVID-19 will likely have far more impact than commercials and other media will. This is also part of the reason why Rogan's usage has stirred up such a viral debate, as it could convince others to try the treatment as well.

We're all hoping @joerogan has a speedy recovery from COVID-19.

I expect Joe's experience -- which will be very public -- will have more impact on public health policy than any of the "rogue doctor" viral videos. You can decide if that is bad or good.

Joe Rogan took Ivermectin. Scared shitless (or shit-full) of a virus that’s apparently not that scary or that much of a big of a deal. Really funny.
