Rock musician Ted Nugent, an outspoken coronavirus denier and conspiracy theorist who has refused to take the vaccine,announcedhe has tested positive for Covid-19, acknowledging he has been suffering greatly from flu-like symptoms for the past ten days, declaring: “I thought I was dying.”

KEY FACTS

Nugent, 72, posted a nearly nine-minute video to Facebook Monday evening using racist slurs to refer to Covid-19, as he explains that he’s been dealing with body aches, a “stuffed-up head” and other ailments.

“I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days,” Nugent conceded.

Yet, Nugent spends part of the video ranting about the ineffectiveness of vaccines and spreading conspiracy theories.
