Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes

Parent Comment was referring to Joe Rogan frequently asserting that Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID. There is no evidence that this is true, and in fact, off-label and unsupervised use of a drug like ivermectin is incredibly dangerous. The misinformation about ivermectin forms a tent-pole in his incredibly dangerous war against the COVID vaccine.

No one is arguing Ivermectin isn't an amazing horse dewormer...

At least in the US, ivermectin requires a prescription to obtain. This means a medical professional (MD or nurse practitioner) believes it is safe for use with that individual and they are supervising it.

This is a misleading rebuttal. There were countless stories about feed stores running out of stock or having to limit sales because people were buying it for personal use in huge volumes. There was literally a US wide shortage of agricultural ivermectin in August/September, and I’m not sure if it’s gotten any better.

You're spreading misinformation by implying that ivermectin is only used as a horse dewormer. Should you be censored, too?

> Ivermectin is used to treat human diseases... [0]

I didn’t imply any such thing.
