According to West, both he and his wife Angela have Covid-19. West said Angela was vaccinated against the coronavirus, but he was not. “Col. West is experiencing a low grade fever and light body aches,” according to an official Facebook post earlier in the day. “Out of concern for public health, Col. West is suspending in-person events until receiving an all-clear indication.”
A post on West’s Facebook said he was taking hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin — two drugs that do not have a proven track record of success in treating Covid-19 and public health officials have recommended against using for Covid-19 — as well as the more conventional monoclonal antibody treatment.
