Detroit rocker Ted Nugent, who previously claimed that COVID-19 is not a real pandemic and a scam, has tested positive for the virus. According to a Facebook live video posted on his official page on April 19, 2021, he revealed the news himself. In the video he used racist language claiming the virus was Chinese: The video can be seen here: In past statements, Nugent has called the pandemic shutdown a scam. In a Christmas message in late 2020, he said COVID-19 was not a real pandemic, and that he was not going to get a vaccine. We have previously covered Nugent’s bogus claims, including one where he asked why there weren’t lockdowns for COVID one through 18. He also echoed erroneous claims that numbers of reported COVID-19 deaths have been exaggerated. Given that Nugent himself admitted to testing positive, we rate this claim as True.
