This man said covid was a hoax

I had to separate Ted Nugent into two files years ago: there's Ted the guitarist and Ted on the soapbox.

Guitarist Ted is phenomenal. One of the most unique sounds in all of rock, a masterful player and a great showman. He inspired me to play the guitar actually.

Soapbox Ted is a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, philandering hypocrite. Unfortunately, this version came out after i was already a fan of the music and the more he inserts his foot into his mouth , it makes it harder to justify liking the music but i still try to separate the two.

I wish him a speedy recovery and nothing but the best against the COVID19 virus. However, i would wish this would smarten him up over the severity of it and why a vaccine could be useful. No one has become a mutant, so its not the monster its believed by some to be.
 
ET CanadaTed Nugent Tests Positive For COVID-19 After Previously Calling The Pandemic A ‘Hoax’

He says he has had flu symptons for the last 10 days, thought he was dying. WELL NOW HE SEES FIRST HAND,ITS NOT A HOAX AFTERALL,
Several people who thought it was a hoax are dead now...
So I figure we just let natural selection take place...(Darwin was right).
The people who refuse vaccination --- are going to be surrounded by people spreading the virus everywhere, --- and will probably become very sick from it.

And those who refuse to wear masks --- will also be spreading it everywhere.
No, It's not a hoax.

Ted seemed like a rational person many years ago.
But lately not so much.

Many deniers have come down with Covid-19 after refusing to take precautions.
And as AmpMadScientist has said, there will be more.

Covid doesn't care about your belief system. As with cases in general, many deniers had only minor symptoms, while others felt truly awful and some few needed hospitalization. Only a small percentage of deniers have died, making it easy for those with an agenda to continue pushing the false narrative that it's really nothing to worry about - despite the loss so far of more than three million souls.

It is always a human tragedy when someone is struck down by this pandemic. Ironic when it happens to deniers, whose deaths sometimes are literally due to vain demonstrations of their disbelief. It isn't just conspiracy theories that they're spreading.


Like Hans Gaarder in Norway, a very vocal conspiracy pusher who threw several illegal house parties despite already being sick with covid and died of it just a few days later. At least a dozen who attended the parties contracted the virus; some went on to infect others.

In a post to his Facebook page before the parties, Gaarder said: "What could be the reason for the measures 'to prevent infection' for something that will be like a cold or mild flu? Could it be to camouflage that coronavirus is not transmitted from person to person?"


It's human nature to want to believe a story which reinforces one's existing point of view, and to resist any thought that might challenge it.
We're also hard-wired to feel strong, even virtuous, when we know others think the same way.

Those who deliberately craft disinformation are quite aware of this; I prefer to think the millions who share misinformation without checking it probably don't realize they are participating in mass deception.

There's no vaccine against blind acceptance.
And herd immunity is no protection against the herd instinct.
 
Since my prudent GIF won't load to the page, I'll just say this:

I've hated this man with the heat of a thousand suns.

But DAMN I love Stranglehold.
Yeah thats my dilemma with him too: was a fan of most of his early music before he went cuckoo for cocopuffs. Now, it's tiring explaining to other folks that i have no excuses or respect for any of his wild, insane beliefs while still enjoying the early days stuff
