Like most of those commenting on virology these days the closest I have to a relevant qualification is my Cycling Proficiency Test, but it well.
When hospitals are overflowing with people with a group loyalty/ lack of critical thinking skills that requires them to gorge on horse medicine that causes the shitters, delirium and blindness . . . seems a fair bet that's an act of faith and trying to read papers/ journals to keep up with the woo will only lead to them sharpening their own counter arguments. Imo point at vaccine successes, link to medical advice and exit stage left.

But Joe Rogen used it to cure his case of covid in only 3 days!
(That's my sarcasm, although a lot of people seem to believe it)
He’s the American Jesus! May God have mercy on our souls…

I want to give you a laugh reaction, (I came close) but it's really not funny, is it?

Rogan took a cocktail of stuff (including ivermectin and an antibody treatment). Something in there helped him kick COVID quickly ... but from only one data point we cannot tell which ingredient(s).

No. You don't know that anything in there did anything.
It's entirely possible and likely that his particular case of COVID would have happened in exactly the same way in the absence of this "cocktail."
This is what is so frustrating about these claims; he could've just eaten a chocolate bar, and said, "Hey, look all you gullible people, CHOCOLATE cures the COVID!"
It's why actual science relies on things like double-blind studies, and not individual claims.
Correct. What Rogan says about his personal experience is an anecdote. An anecdote is not meaningful data.

In particular because we have no way of knowing if any of his claims are remotely true at all. I'm not calling Rogen a liar, necessarily, but his whole schtick isn't exactly done out of the goodness of his heart, is it? It's all about the likes/clicks/follows/etc (AKA the $).
