Ted Nugent tests positive for Covid after saying coronavirus ‘not a real pandemic’
Ted Nugent has said he’s tested positive for Covid-19, after declaring it ‘wasn’t a real pandemic’ and mocking the use of face masks.
The right-wing singer, who also felt the need to suggest the coronavirus vaccine was ‘not a real vaccine’, revealed yesterday he tested positive after coming down with flu-like symptoms.
Sharing his symptoms on a Facebook Live from quarantine, Nugent said he thought he was ‘dying’.
He told fans: ‘Everybody told me that I should not announce this.
‘I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying. Just a clusterf**k.
‘I was tested positive today. I got the Chinese sh*t… I’ve got a stuffed-up head, body aches.
‘My God, what a pain in the ass. I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days… So I was officially tested positive for Covid-19 today.’
He then went on to talk about not knowing what was in the vaccine (again) and then claimed doctors who tested him said they’d do ‘nothing’ different than if he were to test negative, all while coughing and spitting.
Nugent – who is an avid Donald Trump supporter and previously performed at a campaign rally – had been called out for his comments on the pandemic and the coronavirus vaccine after recently saying he would refuse to be vaccinated.
He ranted: ‘It’s not a real pandemic and that’s not a real vaccine, I’m sorry.
‘I ain’t taking no vaccine. You come at me with a needle and I will be in fear of my life.
‘You know what I’ll do if you come at me with a needle. “Hi I’m from the government, this needle’s good for you”. F**k you.’
In a recent post, he also labelled the people of Great Britain ‘a bunch of sheep’ for wearing face masks, while also declaring there was ‘no such thing as systemic racism in America’ because he hadn’t personally witnessed racism in America.
He later responded to allegations of racism, calling himself the ‘anti-racist’ and saying: ‘If you find somebody who calls Ted Nugent a racist, you are looking at a subhuman piece of sh*t who lives a lie.’
