Rocker Ted Nugent, 72, has tested positive for COVID-19. This news comes months after the “Cat Scratch Fever” singer stated he believes that the virus outbreak is a scam.
Fox News reports Ted Nugent took to his Facebook, revealing to his fans that he has taken a COVID-19 and is positive for the virus.
Ted Nugent “I thought I was dying’
“I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying,” Nugent said. The singer described his symptoms, stating that he has a stuffy head, body aches, and other symptoms.
“I thought I was dying,” Nugent reveals on Facebook Live during a Monday evening post. “I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days. So I was officially tested positive for COVID-19 today.”
Ted Nugent was taken down by coronavirus
In December of 2020, Nugent publicly announces via Facebook his disbelief in the pandemic. The video shot at Nugents Michigan home reveals the out-spoken rocker using racists slurs while referring to the virus.
The singer also reveals that he wouldn’t be getting the COVID vaccination. Simply because he believes that “nobody knows what’s in it.”
Earlier this month, Nugent revealed that due to the COVID pandemic, a decision to cancel his upcoming tour is being announced. His frustration was obvious with the decision by production companies, which he calls “COVID-19 freaks.”
The singer stands his ground
However, despite Ted Nugent’s admission stating, “I’ve never been so sick in all my life.” The singer went on to suggest there is no point in getting a test for COVID-19. All while downplaying the need for social distancing, mask-wearing, and vaccinations against the virus.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 75 million Americans are now fully vaccinated as of last week.
