Rep. Barry Moore posted on social media Friday that he and his wife tested positive for Covid-19.
Moore stated, “I’m sad to share that Heather and I have tested positive for Covid-19. To every extent possible, I will continue working virtually while recovering in quarantine. While I believe every American has the freedom to make their own health-related decisions, I encourage talking with your doctor about the different vaccines and therapies available and making an informed decision about the prevention and treatment that is best for you. Now is the time to act-don’t wait until you or someone you love is sick.”
On Monday Moore told WDHN that within 24 hours of testing positive, he started to feel better. He said that he was treated with Ivermectin and Z-Packs which were given by his doctor.
Moore stated, “We’re doing well actually,” Congressmen Moore said. “We are quarantining now for the sake of just making sure we don’t get anyone sick. Heather and I are feeling good we have our appetites, everything is going well. We have an infusion of antibodies a couple of days after the diagnosis. I think that was key for me, certainly.”
Rep. Moore has been a vocal opponent of mandatory masking and recently released a statement speaking out against the military mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for all active-duty military members.
“It is absolutely reckless that Secretary Austin is considering a blanket mandate for active-duty military to receive a vaccine approved only for emergency use to protect against a virus with well over a 99% survival rate,” said Moore. “Our fighting men and women are disproportionately younger, healthier, and significantly less at risk from the coronavirus than the general population, and recent reports show that almost 70% of our men and women in uniform have already voluntarily taken the vaccine. Our servicemembers shouldn’t be unnecessarily forced into taking the vaccine just because overreaching politicians want to continue intervening in the private lives of the American people.”
Moore also protested when the Attending Physician of the United States Congress Attending, Brian Monahan, reinstituted the mask mandate in all House office buildings, meeting areas, and the chamber to prevent the spread of the coronavirus among members and staff. At the time, Moore blamed the reinstituted mask mandate on Nancy Pelosi.
