"What the f**k is going on" - Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson revisit the COVID-19 Ivermectin drama in brutally honest critique of $13.31 trillion industry

While examining the broader Healthcare Services Market, Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson recently discussed COVID-19 and Ivermectin. This market is valued at $13.31 trillion in 2024, with projections estimating growth to $22.57 trillion by 2031.

In episode #2254 of the Joe Rogan Experience, Gibson engaged in an extensive conversation with Rogan on various topics. One of the subjects they revisited was the controversy surrounding Rogan's discussions about Ivermectin, which had drawn criticism from some media outlets.

The FDA and CNN labeled Ivermectin as a horse dewormer, advising Americans against using it to treat COVID-19 symptoms. During his conversation with Gibson, Rogan revisited this topic, reflecting on the backlash he received:

"That's what's so bizarre about the time that we just went through because there's more information now available to people instantaneously than ever before. You look it up on your phone you instantly know, oh ivermectin the guy who created it won the noble prize 2015 for use in human beings. So what the f**k is going on? Who's running this thing?"

Rogan and Gibson got further into the subject of ivermectin, with the latter claiming that it healed several of his friends. Getting into the specifics of this anecdotal instance, Gibson stated:

"I have three friends. All three of them had stage four cancer. All three of them don't have cancer right now at all - and they had serious stuff going on."

In response to Rogan asking what they took, Gibson responded,

"[They] took some... what you've heard they've taken."

The acclaimed actor stated that his friends subverted their late-stage cancers by pairing these drugs with some other treatments to where they now reportedly have no symptoms from the ailment at all. Both substances referenced by Gibson are reportedly being studied to see if they have anti-cancer properties within them.

Ivermectin is a World Health Organization-approved drug that, according to the Mayo Clinic, is generally used to treat things like river blindness, intestinal infections from threadworms, and a variety of other worm infections. Fenbendazole has a similar utility according to the Mayo Clinic as far as its effectiveness in treating infections that come from worms.

Despite his Malibu home burning down while filming the podcast, Gibson seemingly generated a lot of talking points that people have been sinking their teeth into over the last few days.
