That's like saying Rogan was drinking engine coolant because he was drinking water.
The US currently requires refugees from certain regions to take ivermectin prophylactically. If Fox News ran a headline saying "Biden Administration Forcing Horse Dewormer on Immigrants", I think we'd all object.
That's basically what CNN is doing here.
(To avoid confusion on my own personal views: There is no data showing ivermectin is effective in treating COVID. We should all get vaccinated. But disagreeing with my views doesn't justify lying.)
