He had additionally repeated a story pushed by conservative media and disputed by well being specialists that implies the official dying depend from the coronavirus was inflated.
Final fall, Nugent appeared on “Off The Report” the place he as soon as once more mentioned that he would not take the COVID-19 vaccine as a result of the photographs which might be obtainable in america had been developed in lower than a yr are most likely pretend.
“It is not a vaccine,” he mentioned. “It is an experimental shot. Now the FDA was compelled to authorize it just lately, however they had been jabbing individuals with an experimental shot proper up till that pretend authorization.
“I do not consider it is a vaccine,” he reiterated. “Most of America would not consider it is a vaccine. The one ones which might be taking it are both gullible or being compelled as a result of they’re gonna lose their job, lose their life and lose their livelihood.”
