They didn't make him out to be a "crazy lunatic", merely dangerous in his backing of unapproved treatments.

Again, the FDA itself recommends against usage of Ivermectin:

https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-shoul...:

"Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19"

You and Mr. Rogan (and ilk) seem to be confounding the usage of Ivermectin in researched and approved treatment regimens with the opposite and claiming discrimination when pointed out. Self-treatment carries unforeseen dangers. Whether or o not Mr. Rogan is right is irrelevant - he's not a subject matter expert.

It simply does not work both ways. You and I have limited reach in forums like these, but Rogan has listenership in the millions, which makes his unscrupulous statements very risky.
