(LifeSiteNews) — Mel Gibson discussed a wide range of issues with podcaster Joe Rogan this week, almost all of them eliciting strong reactions on social media, especially his comments on cancer and the medical establishment.  

Gibson contracted COVID-19 in April 2020. During a weeklong hospital stay, he was administered the dangerous drug Remdesivir, which, despite having been known to have a mortality rate of over 50 percent in trials, was approved by Dr. Anthony Fauci for use in hospitals during the pandemic. 

Gibson told Rogan that the experimental treatment nearly ended his life. 

“(Remdesivir) kills you. I found that afterward. And that’s why I wonder about Fauci,” Gibson said.  

Hospitals were incentivized to use Remdesivir, which has been shown to cause kidney failure, after the U.S. government approved a 20 percent reimbursement bonus for its use. Medical facilities also obtained money from the government for classifying deaths as being due to COVID-19. Critics allege that those policies enticed medical professionals to use the risky treatment in order to kill patients as a way to unethically boost profits. 

Gibson told Rogan that he contracted COVID from his gardener, who he had known for 20 years, but that he did not survive his illness. 

“We both went to the same hospital, and he died, and I didn’t … I think we both got Remdesivir, which is not good,” he explained.  

“I don’t know why Fauci’s still walking around … or at least free,” he further remarked. 

Gibson and Rogan also talked about cancer and Big Pharma. Gibson revealed that he knows people who have been healed from the illness due to alternative treatments.  

“I have three friends. All three of them had stage 4 cancer. All three of whom don’t have cancer right now at all. And they had some serious stuff going on,” Gibson said. 

“And what did they take?” Rogan asked. 

“They took … what you’ve heard they’ve taken,” he replied. 

“Ivermectin, Fenbendazole,” Rogan said. “I’m hearing that a lot.” 

“They drank hydrochloride something or other … people drinking methylene blue,” Gibson said.  

“There’s a lot of stuff that does work, which is very strange,” Rogan remarked. “Because, again, it’s profit, when you hear about things that are demonized and they turn out to be effective, you always wonder: ‘what is going on here?’ How is (sic) our medical institutions, how have they failed us so that things that do cure you are not promoted because they’re not profitable? They can’t control it. They don’t have a patent on it. Whether it’s Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium, Zinc. I do all that stuff.” 

On Friday morning, an X-approved post titled “Mel Gibson’s Cancer Cure Claim Sparks Medical Debate” was published on the trending section. Some users piggybacked on Gibson’s remarks by stating that they too have used or know people who are using treatments similar to the ones Gibson’s friends did and that “cancer research” is a racket. 

Others were unconvinced and reiterated the media narrative that ivermectin is a simply a “dewormer.”

Elsewhere in their conversation, Gibson defended the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin and the historical reality of the resurrection of Christ, a topic Rogan has seemingly taken a heightened interest in recently given that he discussed the matter in depth on his show with a Protestant guest less than two weeks ago.
