Horse Worm Rogan

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s lead medical correspondent, went on the popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” earlier this week to discuss COVID-19 .

After the three-hour discussion aired on Wednesday’s episode of Rogan’s Spotify podcast, a clip of Gupta saying CNN “shouldn’t have said” Rogan used a “horse dewormer” when he contracted the novel coronavirus went viral.

Rogan declared CNN had lied. “Why would you say that when you’re talking about a drug that has been given out to billions and billions of people? ... Why would they lie and say that’s a horse dewormer?”

Thus began an online debate this week about who’s telling the truth here, Rogan or CNN. Let’s rewind.
