Politician to miss his anti-vaccine mandate rally because he has COVID


A Republican lawmaker in North Dakota will miss his Monday rally opposing vaccine mandates because he has COVID-19. Instead, Rep. Jeff Hoverson said he will stay home and take a cocktail of medications including the unproven anti-parasite drug ivermectine and the malaria remedy Hydroxychloroquine.

“Covid is real and like a really bad flu,” Hoverson wrote on Facebook. “I am currently quarantining and each day is getting better.”

Hoverson claims his home remedy, which is popular with right-wing pundits, should be more widely used by the public. He noted that he’s not hospitalized and said he’s on the mend.


The lawmaker, who is also a pastor, told the Associated Press he tested positive last week for coronavirus. He said three of his teenage children will attend Monday’s rally at the statehouse. He is a father of six.

1. I'm sorry. But anti-VAXers getting sick gives me pleasure. Not ashamed

2. Too bad

3. He still can't resist saying it's like the flu. Even calling it a really bad flu is bullshit.

He's probably not really using Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine either.
