AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan's successful podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', is known for covering a wide range of topics. The UFC commentator once slammed the medical industry and discussed how he discovered that profits are prioritized over health and safety.

In episode #1979 of 'JRE', Rogan invited Dr Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist, public health crusader, author, and opponent of COVID vaccinations, who has come under fire for his dietary and health beliefs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he published 'The 21-Day Immunity Plan', which claims that diet can reduce virus risk, but this claim is not supported by medical research.

'They rig the test'

Rogan discussing the medical industry's prioritization of profits over health and safety said, "All these mainstream news are mocking me for taking horse medication... Literally taking a drug that's on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines. Literally taking a drug that's been prescribed billions of times. Taking a drug that was invented by the guy who won the Nobel Prize for inventing that drug. Has one of the best safety profiles of any known drug, but it's generic and it's cheap."

Rogan went on to say that he stated the other prescriptions he was taking, but that they were overlooked by the media, as was his quick recovery from COVID-19, before concluding, "It wasn't until I read Robert Kennedy's book, The Real Anthony Fauci, that I got a sense that this is a playbook that they have used forever. They offer one solution. This one solution is patented."

He went on to say, "This one solution is controlled by these pharmaceutical companies and it's very expensive and they make a f**k load of money from it, whereas anything that's off-label, anything that's generic, is dismissed. They rig the test."

Rogan also expressed surprise at finding himself in the midst of disputes around the COVID-19 vaccination. He also questioned why there was no discussion of how he recovered from COVID-19 so rapidly, instead focusing on the meds he chose to take.



 

'So many of these tattoos of me are weird as f**k'

Rogan is one of the most well-known people in the world. Several fans of the UFC commentator get tattoos of his face on their bodies. He is, nevertheless, humbled by the incident. Rogan once shared a fan tattoo of himself on Instagram, writing, "I have long lost count of how many tattoos of me are out there, but it is always an honor and makes me feel very appreciated in a strange and unexpected way. THANK YOU!"
