Joe Rogan is likely one of the biggest (if not the biggest) names in combat sports who recently contracted COVID-19. But unlike some of the sport’s top athletes, the longtime UFC color commentator got through the disease in just a couple of days since he got sick.
Rogan attributed his speedy recovery to the use of monoclonal antibody therapy — a legitimate treatment — and Ivermectin, a controversial antiparasitic drug that’s been touted as the supposed cure for the dreaded virus, despite a real lack of evidence. With Rogan pushing that drug on his huge platform, it of course didn’t sit well with many experts in the medical community.
