Gupta tells Joe Rogan CNN shouldn't have called ivermectin 'horse dewormer'
Sanjay Gupta, CNN's top medical analyst, told Joe Rogan the network should not have referred to medication he took to combat a coronavirus infection as "horse dewormer" during its coverage of the popular podcaster's bout with the disease.
"It's a lie on a news network ... that's a lie that they're conscious of. It's not a mistake," Rogan said to Gupta as the longtime medical analyst appeared on his show this week. "They're unfavorably framing it as veterinary medicine."
The controversial podcaster, who has drawn criticism for past statements about coronavirus immunity and vaccines, pressed Gupta about CNN's coverage.
