He had said of the vaccine, โI have a very low risk of A) Getting COVID and B) dying of it if I do. Why would I risk getting a heart attack or paralysis by getting the vaccine?โ
He also said at the time that he had been taking the anti-parasite medication ivermectin, a drug that comes in different forms for animals and humans.
