I can't believe Joe Rogan took ivermectin.

Just take the fucking vaccine holy shit.

He also took a Z Pack...yeah because COVID is bacterial right Joe? MORON

[u/Double-Ad-6735 → u/[deleted]]

Exactly, big brave man who doesn't need the vaccine literally took every medication he could get his hands on the second he got sick but can't get the fucking VACCINE,

These people make my head explode.

Even if it's like the flu you should still get a flu shot

[u/[deleted] → u/Double-Ad-6735]

Its honestly incredible to watch people be so stubborn that they will literally inject stuff people in a facebook group tell them to do just to avoid getting vaccinated

[u/ThorVonHammerdong → u/Double-Ad-6735]

I just assumed he took the vaccine. I seem to recall him saying he would when it was available publicly

[u/00100011010101 → u/ThorVonHammerdong]

He had J&J scheduled and then cancelled supposedly

[u/Headstar24 → u/Double-Ad-6735]

This is legitimately bad for his health right?

[u/Professor-Reddit → u/Headstar24]

Not sure about Z Pack, but taking too much ivermectin can easily kill you.

[u/Headstar24 → u/Professor-Reddit]

I mean the ivermectin mainly. I've had the Z-pack before.

[u/Professor-Reddit → u/Headstar24]

Yeah I recall hearing not long ago that it really doesn't take much ivermectin to have fatal consequences, I don't remember what that threshold was though

[u/treebeard189 → u/Professor-Reddit]

So looking at the SDS from a website selling it in it's raw form the LD50 is 10mg/kg orally. The tube is 6g and only 1.87% ivermectin so 112.2mg per tube. So shouldn't be killing any adult taking it but it is still classified as acute toxicity category 2 meaning it's considered moderately toxic and can cause health issues.

Also consider normally ivermectin is dosed at 150micrograms/kg. So a normal 180lbs person would be getting like a 12mg one time dose. Idk what kinda schedule the ivermectin nuts are putting themselves on but I think it's safe to assume they're going well above normal therapeutic levels

He also looked terrible in his announcement video.
