Laura Loomer (R) says she's tested positive for COVID-19

Far-right political activist Laura Loomer announced Thursday that she has tested positive for the coronavirus. Last year, Loomer sparked controversy after she said she wished she could get the coronavirus to show everyone that it is not a dire matter.

“I hope I get COVID just so I can prove to people I’ve had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life threatening than a hyped up virus. Have you ever eaten bad fajitas? That will kill you faster than fake COVID," she wrote on Parler in December.

In a post on conservative social media platform ‘Gettr’, Loomer, a current and former House candidate in Florida, wrote that she began feeling ill on Wednesday.
"I had a fever, chills, a runny nose, sore throat, nausea and severe body aches that made my whole body feel like I got hit by a bus," she wrote. "And after sleeping for a few hours, my symptoms started to remind me of how I felt when I had a bad case of the flu a few years ago."

Loomer, 28, said she later tested positive for COVID-19 and has "immediately started a treatment of Azithromyacin and Hydroxychloroquine," as well as the OrthoMune dietary supplement. She also received the Regeneron antibody treatment, which was also used and praised by former President Trump after his own COVID-19 diagnosis last year.

Loomer, a strong Trump supporter, also said in the post that
she has not received the coronavirus vaccine and will not do so, falsely claiming "it is unsafe and ineffective."

However, her latest messages indicated that she was suffering from severe symptoms of the virus.
“Just pray for me please,” Loomer wrote.

but to sicken to within inches of dying, and experience weeks of torturous fear and pain.

All this while there are no hospital beds for the unvaccinated.

So sad that she was given regeneron because I will guarantee you she will claim the other fake stuff is what brought her through this. I know this because someone we know took Ivermectin after a regeneron treatment and now feel it was the Ivermectin that helped them.
