Candace Owens Furious After Denied Coronavirus Test For Her Anti-Vax Claims
Conservative agitator Candace Owens was denied a COVID test because of her repeated claims against people wearing masks to stop the spread of the coronavirus and “actively dissuading people from receiving life-saving vaccinations.”
As Owens usually does, she took to her Twitter account to lodge a complaint against the private COVID-19 testing clinic located in Aspen, CO, where she was refused service.
Holy crap!! I just received an e-mail from a Covid testing facility that they are REFUSING to administer a test to me because they don’t like my politics.
INSANE. I’m banned from making sure I don’t accidentally spread Covid? Going live with the e-mail on Instagram in 10 mins!— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 2, 2021
Owens posted a video on her Instagram account to speak about the incident.
“HOLY CRAP!! I was banned from taking a Covid test because of my politics! So I am no longer allowed to comply with covid measures and responsibly test myself for Covid because…they don’t like my politics in Aspen.
“Thanks @rocky_mountain_labs for partnering with a psychotic leftist activist named Suzanna Lee to keep your community safe— from those who believe in medical freedom. This pandemic is so real and so deadly, that Covid facilities are now googling the names of people who book Covid tests to ensure they vote for Biden. 😂😂😂”

Owens also provided a screenshot of the email she received from the owner of the facility.
“We cannot support anyone who has pro-actively worked to make this pandemic worse by spreading misinformation, politicizing and DISCOURAGING the wearing of masks and actively dissuading people from receiving life-saving vaccinations.”

As promised— here is the email from the rabid activist declining to give me a test, plus my response to her. She clearly isn’t stable enough to work in health and is a danger to the Aspen community. pic.twitter.com/nV7xMGqVN3

Owens has promised to take action against the facility.
UPDATE. It turns out the facility that rejected my ability to take a Covid test receives both state and federal funding.
So no— she had NO RIGHT to deny me a covid test when my taxes go toward her operationsThis situation is currently being escalated to the HHS.
Stay tuned!

Owens has used her platform to speak out against getting vaxxed.
How many “rare, breakthrough” cases will it take before people realize that they are neither rare, or breakthrough?
How many booster shots will you let them mandate into your arm before you begin to question whether or not you are fighting new variants, or failed vaccines?

Back in July, Owens had made a firm stance that “not one person in my family will ever touch the COVID-19 vaccine.”
Not one person in my family will ever touch the Covid-19 vaccine.
That is the decision that we have made, unabashedly, as a family.
Medical freedom is an individual right that should NEVER be infringed upon and any person who thinks otherwise has no place in our government.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) July 7, 2021
