Joe Rogan, the host of the hugely popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” said on Wednesday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus after he returned from a series of shows in Florida, where the virus is rampant.

Mr. Rogan, who was rebuked by federal officials last spring for suggesting on the podcast that young healthy people need not get Covid vaccinations, said that he started feeling sick on Saturday night after he returned from performing in Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale.

Throughout the night I got fevers, sweats, and I knew what was going on,” he said in a video on Instagram, adding that he isolated himself from his family, staying in a different part of his house.

I trust we won’t have someone here pitching him as “Mainstream” again…

[SarcasticSatyr]

1. Karma is working overtime ...

...

[kimbutgar]

2. Maybe he'll appear on the sorryantivaxxer.com site

Someone else posted it here on DU.

No one is invincible when it comes to Covid 19.

[PortTack]

4. ++++++

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Maybe it's the pics they selected, but they all appear so defiant

Like don't tell me what to do!

Okay. We won't.

[hlthe2b]

3. mainstream? More like a dangerous POS.

He is getting monoclonal antibodies and will undoubtedly credit the ivermectin he is taking at the same time for his future "miraculous" recovery...

[TheRealNorth]

14. If he doesn't think Covid is a big deal, then why is he taking antibodies and Ivermectin?

Doesn't seem too confident he can take on Covid Mano e mano. Weenie.

[HuskyOffset]

17. No kidding, why doesn't he . . .

. . . put that weak-assed Covid-19 in a rear naked choke and submit it? Maybe do some ground-and-pound to soften it up first?

[TheRealNorth]

33. Exactly

Real Covidiots don't need to take scientifically-validated medications or even go to the hospital. I guess Rogan is just another weak, low energy beta male loser.

[multigraincracker]

5. Hey Joe looks like you aren't

as young and healthy as you thought.

[LisaL]

6. He went to Florida.

Enough said.

[Botany]

7. Death comes a calling right Mr. Joe? Don't you dare use up a hospital bed for your punk ass.

[FarPoint]

9. He will be fine...

Essentially... Seems early in infection and he got monoclonal antibodies.....

[rpannier]

28. Can only hope

[monkeyman1]

10. when ya ' got a lot of money ya can be alright !

[Gregory Peccary]

11. I wonder how many innocent bystanders he infected while traveling home.

[monkeyman1]

12. Floriduh is a big infection ! it's totally a American pain in the ass !

American need's a proctologist !

[Initech]

13. That whole state is a biohazard right now!

[monkeyman1]

19. you right ! need to declare floriduh to that effective asap !

should have a federally mandate & have a federal monitor to make sure all the federal fund's go to where there supposed too ! all c-19 reported , not running 2 set's of book's ! I have family down there & fucking tired this republican butt smooch'r . he has wrecked Florida & what piss's me off the most , people their have no ball's & just take it ! I wouldn't go there on a damn bet !

[cadoman]

15. hopefully he survives and learns that masks and the vaccine are essential

He messed with COVID and he may not get a second chance.

Mask up and vaccinate everyone, or it could be you in the hospital begging for a second chance and for the doctors to forgive you for your selfishness!

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. Or....like many of them, he will declare that he got over it fairly easily

If he does. That it was just like a bad case of the flu. And he don't take no flu shots either. And that it only proves his point that an even younger person would have no problem at all. And we can survive it without putting "poison" in our arms.

This seems to be the MO of most of the anti-vaxers who get it, have mild symptoms, and survive.

Of course this totally overlooks the point about spreading to others, who are more vulnerable. Which i don't think he appreciates.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Bye Joe. Kharma sucks huh? How many got infected based on your bullshit lies? You don't care.

Long as you made your money spewing your crap.

[joetheman]

20. And he is taking everything and the kitchen sink, except for vaccination.

But the real thing that will save him is the monoclonal antibody treatment that he won't talk about much. This should be spread far and wide.

[TwilightZone]

21. Remember when some people here thought we should kiss this guy's ass?

Sadly, he really is mainstream, at least for what passes as the mainstream anymore. The freaks and extremists have become the mainstream.

[VarryOn]

32. The ol' guy from New Hampshire or Vermont who ran from President did...

It was actually a very informative interview.

[dalton99a]

22. Meh. Don't let it dominate your life

"If you’re a healthy person, and you’re exercising all the time, and you’re young, and you’re eating well, like, I don’t think you need to worry about this." - Joe Rogan

[Calista241]

23. I'm pretty sure he got vaccinated. He's over 50

[Jetheels]

24. Doctor Joe

Andy wants his 15 minutes back.

[IronLionZion]

25. He claims to be on ivermectin and feeling great

[choie]

26. Another fucker get his clock cleaned.

One question - why in the hell are doctors prescribing ivermectin for these fools?

[rpannier]

27. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[ForgoTheConsequence]

29. He's going to use this to push the Ivermectin bullshit even further.

Egghead is a huge fan of anecdotal arguments.

[Steelrolled]

30. I don't understand all of the excitement every time some

right winger gets Covid. Their chances of survival are pretty high. Especially if they have money and can get access to any treatment they want.

[Efilroft Sul]

31. Like, what could ever go wrong with playing multiple shows in Florida?!

34. Joe, y'll be OK. Just punch thru it. Punch your weight!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

35. Zero fux given. nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. My favorite thing is how Joe Rogan might have sterilized himself by taking Ivermectin.
