Anti-vaccine US radio host Phil Valentine dies of COVID-19 |
2021-08-23 |
[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) ![]() 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. |

#17 I will admit I am happy anytime a totalitarian leftist dies. But I'm too busy to go grave dancing. |

#15 Main side effect of the virus: It turns "scientists" into religious zealots and suddenly "my body, my choice" is a slogan on a button in a memorabilia shop instead of lefty gospel. |

#14 This article is generic to the discussion. Mr. Valentine is dead, RIP, next stop might be a confirmation pathology. General one here: A PATHOLOGIST SUMMARY OF WHAT THESE JABS DO TO THE BRAIN AND OTHER ORGANS |

#12 Be careful Skid - don't challenge the Covid-Skeptic wing of the great Church of Solipsism. You don't want all these half-wits directing their semi coherent repartee at you. |

#7 I learned a painful lesson at an early age about using prophylactics when available, whether I thought they were necessary or not. |

#1 Some learn from the experience of others. Some can only learn from their own. And, of course, some are uncapable of learning. |
