Rogan argued he was in a "unique" spot during COVID because he had a head start discussing vaccines and alternative treatments. Guest Chase Hughes praised Rogan for raising early doubts, and Rogan accused some media — notably CNN — of manipulating his COVID announcement footage.
Rogan admitted he lost many sponsors and defended having discussed treatments he used, including Ivermectin. The article notes Ivermectin is not FDA-approved for treating COVID-19 and that mainstream outlets criticized his coverage. Rogan repeated his frustration that he has seen "not a single apology" from critics.
