COVID-denier Ted Nugent almost dies from COVID

[Sailor]

Nugent said he felt like he was dying, not that he actually came close to dying. The flu makes you feel really crappy unless you are a Trumpy.

Well you know democrats. Love to make up drama even when it does not exist.

Nugent tests positive for coronavirus he called fake: 'I thought I was dying'

Rocker and COVID-19 denier Ted Nugent has tested positive for the coronavirus.

The right-wing rock musician revealed in a Facebook video that he is seriously ill with the potentially deadly virus he has insisted is fake or not very serious, reported Consequence of Sound

Yeah - it's like a bad flu.

Good on Nugent for announcing it and sticking to his guns.

The DemoKKKrat weaponization of the BatFlu is the political Crime of the Century.

Hello BartenderElite,

He says in there that they're "forcing" the vaccine on people, and makes it sound like they're force-testing instead of it being voluntary.

So ridiculous. Why do some on the right - even someone like Nugent, who had COVID like that - still over-inflate the risk of vaccines?

Of course you're taking SOME risk w/ the vaccine. But compared to the risk of what could happen w/ COVID, it's nothing.

COVID is bad news. People don't realize. If you get it and don't get any serious symptoms or lasting effects, you're lucky.

Thom Hartmann said if you take the Johnson and Johnson vaccine you have a 1 in a million chance of getting an extremely rare blood clot. But if you are hospitalized with COVID, you have a 1 in 20 chance.

The other thing people don't realize is life itself is a risk. Yes, you are taking on some odds by choosing to get the vaccine. You are also taking your chances with the odds if you don't. We will soon have a majority of Americans vaccinated. Those who refuse will be the outliers as the rest of the nation bonds together to fight the virus in this act of bravery and dedication to the nation.

All loyal Americans should take one or two in the arm for their country. And it feels good to know the protection is there after doing so.

I support a vaccine passport system of requiring proof of vaccine to participate in certain indoor activities which would otherwise have a high risk of transmission. This encourages everyone to get the vaccine. That makes it more effective.

Israel has done that - with a high degree of success. Their curve was high, they required proof to do things and they brought it way down, brought it under control. A picture tells the story:

Our problem is instantly evident when we compare our situation.

USA Active Cases:

Ouch. We've got work to do.

We leveled the curve but we didn't want to do that. It was on the way down. We needed to keep doing what was effective. It was too soon to open up. Now it looks like we are going to have another wave.

Same reason that trump got a vaccine in private.

True. they want the benefits of science, with all the political benefits of science denying.

As tempting as it may be to play the hypocrite ignorant redneck card, I won't punish this clown admitting he was wrong.

Good for Nugent. His musical act was tasteless low brow garbage for morons.

Nugent said he felt like he was dying, not that he actually came close to dying. The flu makes you feel really crappy unless you are a Trumpy.

He said he thought he was dying.

Nugent said the virus had left him struggling to “crawl out of bed the last few days” and that he thought he was dying.

I have never had a flu in my life which left me struggling to get out of bed and made me think I was dying.

[Doc Dutch]

You're being too nice.

He said he thought he was dying.

I have never had a flu in my life which left me struggling to get out of bed and made me think I was dying.

Agreed. I've only been sick enough to wish I was dead....or in a coma. Same for hangovers in my 20s.

[katzgar]

And I care about this, why again?

you really do have comprehension problems

[Doc Dutch]

And I care about this, why again?

I give up. Why do you care about this? Why "again"? The article is dated 20APR21: https://www.rawstory.com/ted-nugent-19/

Some people like this:

"Everybody told me that I should not announce this," Nugent says in the video. "I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying -- just a clusterf*ck."

"I was tested positive today, I got the Chinese shit," Nugent added. "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."

TBH, she's saner than you.....by a wide margin.

The few times in my life I had a bad hangover, it was way worse than the flu, but fortunately it was shorter in duration.

My take-away lesson: do not drink cheap booze. When I rarely buy vodka, it is only top of the line premium brands.

Dems do that, but not reds? Read some threads. Hyperbole is what they rely on. That and absolute right-wing lies.

I have, once. And almost did die (pneumonia).

I don't hope Nugent dies but if he does the world will be a little bit better because he's not in it anymore.

People who "entertain" for a living are often Drama Queens.....and "politics is show business for ugly people."
