Ted Nugent, who called COVID-19 pandemic a ‘scam,’ tests positive for coronavirus: ‘I thought I was dying’

After a year of denying that COVID-19 was real, Ted Nugent now has the virus.

The rocker announced Monday that he has tested positive after experiencing a “stuffed-up head” and “body aches.”

“I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying. Just a clusterf--k,” Nugent said on Facebook Live. “I got the Chinese s--t.

“My God, what a pain in the ass. I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days.”

Despite getting seriously sick from the virus, Nugent said he still refuses to get the COVID-19 vaccine, falsely claiming that there are questions about its safety and origins.

The 72-year-old right-wing singer has mocked mask-wearers as “sheep,” called the pandemic a “scam” and claimed the death toll was “bulls--t,” making it relatively easy to guess how he may have been infected.
