Right-Wing Activist Laura Loomer Has Brutal Case of COVID After Claiming It's
No Worse Than Food Poisoning

Apparently God is sitting this one out "Pray for me please", asks political
media figure

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer confirmed this week she has COVID-19 and the
symptoms have been �brutal.� In the past, she expressed an interest in
contracting the virus so she could prove it�s no worse than food poisoning.

�Just pray for me please,� she wrote on Gettr, a social media platform
launched by Jason Miller, a former spokesperson for Donald Trump. �Can�t even
begin to explain how brutal the body aches and nausea that come with covid
are. I am in so much pain. This is honestly the worst part about it.�

�Have you ever eaten bad fajitas? That will kill you faster than COVID,� she
wrote on Parler, another social media app favored by conservatives. Loomer,
known for her anti-Muslim views and a failed Congressional run in Florida,
has been banned from Twitter for three years.

Though she�s not on the popular microblogging platform herself, Twitter users
shared screenshots of her past Gettr posts about the pandemic and COVID-19
vaccines.

�I believe when a few years pass, we will see that the vaccines will have
killed more people than COVID,� said one of Loomer�s old posts. �How is a
vaccine �saving lives� for a virus with a 99.7% recovery rate? A bad case of
food poisoning is literally more lethal than COVID.�

Another post said, �People get COVID and don�t even know they have COVID. I
know people who have cancer and are on chemo who got COVID and nothing
happened to them.�

She called the virus �the biggest hoax� since the 2020 election.

Neither COVID-19 nor the election was a hoax, though numerous right-wing
political figures have cast baseless doubt on the veracity of both. Over
670,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 since early 2020.

Loomer told her Gettr subscribers she received a Regeneron treatment, but is
in a lot of pain and �will be sleeping� for the time being. She said she
still does not plan on getting the vaccine.
