So, do we think Rogan is actually taking Ivermectin to treat his Covid, or just saying that for the attention and controversy?
I'm guessing he is taking the pills intended for humans, not horse paste. He preaches vitamin D, exercise and weight loss for obese people to improve their odds if they get COVID. Despite all the media proclamations, he is pro-vax and tells people with comorbidities they should get vax'd, he just thinks that since he is healthy, he doesn't need a vaccine. I've read about lots of healthy people dying, so I can't imagine banking on my immune system to carry me through when a highly effective vaccine with very low risk side effects is readily available. Actually, I tell myself and my wife all the time that I'm healthy and have a strong immune system, so she doesn't worry about me getting COVID. I try not to worry too much about getting it, but I still take all the precautions I can and got the vaccine.
Bolded part is why it would probably save tens of thousands of lives if he died.

Don't disagree with you on this one. I'm sure thousands of vax hesitant people would realize they should get a vaccine if COVID could take out the all powerful Joe Rogan.

Niece at UDel tested positive. And she’s symptomatic. Her roommates tested positive, too. The SIL is asking my wife about ivermectin, more of a mom freak out gotta do somethinganything to keep it from getting worse than anything else, I think.

Nephew at JMU has a roommate who tested positive. He (the nephew) is symptomatic but tested negative (not sure which test).

Both kids are vaccinated as both schools appear to mandate vaccination.

He's always been hardcore Christian and taken some wacky right wing stances. He also came out early as not believing the media COVID narrative. He had some story that made no sense, blaming a hospital for misdiagnosing his friend, preventing the family from seeing his friend because they thought he had COVID, and thinking there was some conspiracy. I don't remember the specifics, but it was so illogical.

I like to look at it in a similar light, but using Louisiana senator John Kennedy as the example.

That Foghorn Leghorn mother fucker went to Oxford. The people that voted for him have no fucking clue where Oxford is.

I read more of her tweets and she was really concerned about food poisoning which I suppose means she's a big supporter of strong government oversight of the food industry.

It's kinda fun watching these people kill themselves to own the libs.

I mean, I'm not rooting for anyone to get COVID, but when you get it after acting like it's no big deal, I have no sympathy and will Kermit meme the whole time.

It's like, I don't root for people to have their houses broken into, but when you say "Security systems don't even work!" and you decide to leave your windows and doors open all the time and you get robbed, eh, you deserved it.

My youngest's building was 8 days, her grade level, but not near her class and no one that we know (we think). So they were virtual last Weds and Fri (off Thurs for the Jewish holiday) and are back in class today as far as I know. We had the whole fam tested on the off day just to be sure since we were going to a mostly outdoor event on Saturday, as well as various sporting activities, and we're all clear. It's actually the first time I've been tested.

Schools have been good, but two kids quarantined from my daughter's soccer team for close contacts. They go to the same school, and rumor is they were contacts due to school team tryouts. They said playing school runs a risk of injury, nobody warned about COVID contact quarantine.

We now know two (2) kids whose classes have been set virtual because of positives.
