Is Joe Rogan Vaccinated?
— An0maly (@LegendaryEnergy) September 1, 2021Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator and podcast host, has come down with COVID-19, he announced on Instagram. He said he’s treating the illness with, among other things, ivermectin, the unproven treatment beloved by anti-vaccine activists and right-wing politicians.
In a video, an exhausted-looking Rogan said that over the weekend he tested positive after having felt run down and feverish. "We immediately threw the kitchen sink at it," he said. "Monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-Pak, prednisone." Three days of treatment, he claimed, had him feeling like a new man.
He took a coronavirus test Sunday and it came back positive.
Rogan said he took “all kinds of meds,” including monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-Pak and prednisone. He also got an NAD drip and a vitamin drip three days in a row.
Rogan said he was feeling better Wednesday.
“It is what it is, crazy times we’re living in, but a wonderful heartfelt thank you to modern medicine for pulling me out of this so quickly and easily,” he said.
It was not immediately clear whether he was vaccinated against the virus.
“I’m not an anti-vax person,” he told Variety in April. “In fact, I said I believe they’re safe and I encourage many people to take ’em. I just said, I don’t think that if you’re a young, healthy person, that you need it.”
Rogan is currently on a national tour for his comedy show, “Joe Rogan: The Sacred Clown Tour.” He was scheduled to perform with comedian Dave Chappelle in Nashville on Friday but that show and another one in New Orleans have been postponed to October.
