In the wide-ranging interview, Mel Gibson told Joe Rogan about his experience with Remdesivir, the pharmaceutical industry and alternative treatments for cancer.
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 week-long 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 acquired COVID from his gardener, who he had known for twenty 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 re-iterated 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.

The Ontario Court of Appeals is allowing a $290 million class-action lawsuit against Freedom Convoy protesters to continue.
On March 6, Ontario Court of Appeals Justices David Brown, Peter Lauwers, and Steve Coroza ruled that a $290 million class-action lawsuit against some of those who organized and participated in the Freedom Convoy for creating a “public nuisance causing pain” will be allowed to proceed.
“We are not unconstrained free actors but must all live subject to some rules,” Brown wrote.
“The Charter reminds us that individual action must always be alive to its effect on other members of the community since limits can be placed on individual action as long as they are ’reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society,” he continued.
The 2022 Freedom Convoy was a peaceful protest in downtown Ottawa, featuring thousands of truckers and Canadians camping outside Parliament to call for an end to COVID regulations.
Despite the demonstration’s non-violent nature, some residents from downtown Ottawa have claimed that the protest disrupted their lives.
In February 2022, the Freedom Convoy leaders were hit with the lawsuit, which originally started at $9.8 million but then ballooned to $290 million. The class-action lawsuit was filed by Ottawa civil servant Zexi Li on February 4, 2022, along with Geoffrey Delaney, Happy Goat Coffee Company, and a local union. It names plaintiffs who have businesses or were working in the city’s downtown core during the Freedom Convoy.
The defendants of the claim are Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber along with a number of other participants and entities. A previous attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed was rejected.
The decision comes just over a year after Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that Prime Minister Trudeau was “not justified” in invoking the Emergencies Act to shut down the protest.

Both Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber face up to 10 years in prison for their roles in the non-violent Freedom Convoy protest which sought to bring an end to COVID mandates in Canada.
The verdict for Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber’s mischief trial, which was supposed to have already been released, will now come on April 3.
“We have a new verdict date. April 3,” Lich wrote on X Monday.
At the end of last month, Lich broke the news that the original verdict date of March 12, 2025, had been delayed indefinitely.
Both Lich and Barber face a possible 10-year prison sentence despite the non-violent nature of the protest. LifeSiteNews has reported extensively on their trial.
Lich recently shared a heartwarming letter she received from a child, who told her to “keep fighting” for everyone and that “God will protect” her from the “enemy.”
The Lich and Barber trial concluded in September of 2024, more than a year after it began. It was only originally scheduled to last 16 days.
Lich and Barber were arrested on February 17, 2022, in Ottawa for their roles in leading the popular Freedom Convoy protest against COVID mandates. During COVID, Canadians were subjected to vaccine mandates, mask mandates, extensive lockdowns and even the closure of churches.
Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government invoked the Emergencies Act to clear-out protesters, an action a federal judge has since said was “not justified.” During the clear-out, an elderly lady was trampled by a police horse and many who donated to the cause had their bank accounts frozen.
While Trudeau has now been replaced as Liberal Party leader by Mark Carney, the latter is on the record as having been in favor of the freezing of bank accounts of Freedom Convoy protesters and their supporters.
