Anti-vaccine US radio host Phil Valentine dies of COVID-19
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A conservative talk radio host from Tennessee who had been a vaccine skeptic until he was hospitalized from COVID-19 has died. He was 61.Nashville radio station SuperTalk 99.7 WTN confirmed Phil Valentine’s death in a tweet on Saturday. Valentine had been a skeptic of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)  ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...vaccines. But after he tested positive for COVID-19, and prior to his hospitalization, he told his listeners to consider, "If I get this COVID thing, do I have a chance of dying from it?" If so, he advised them to get vaccinated. He said he chose not to get vaccinated because he thought he probably wouldn’t die. After Valentine was moved into a critical care unit, his brother Mark said the talk radio host regretted that "he wasn’t a more vocal advocate of the vaccination." "I know if he were able to tell you this, he would tell you, ’Go get vaccinated. Quit worrying about the politics. Quit worrying about all the conspiracy theories," Mark Valentine told The Tennessean on July 25. "He regrets not being more adamant about getting the vaccine. Look at the dadgum data," Mark Valentine said. Posted by: Fred 2021-08-23 |
