Phil Valentine, right wing Radio Host and Vaccine Skeptic, Dead at 61 From Covid Complications

[IcyPeas]

promoted herd immunity and ivermectin...

A few days after Phil Valentine announced he had tested positive for Covid-19 on July 11th, the conservative talk-radio host wrote on Facebook that he was “doing my patriotic duty for natural herd immunity.” Valentine... had questioned the vaccines on his current show on Nashville’s SuperTalk 99.7 WTN and online, mocking the U.S.’s inoculation campaign in the song “Vaxman,” a parody of the Beatles’ “Taxman.” “I certainly am not getting the vax now,” he replied to a commenter on Facebook on July 14th. “I have full immunity.”

Valentine died Saturday from complications related to Covid-19, according to a tweet from his station. He was 61.

“You need to have a plan in case you get COVID. Make SURE you get your vitamin D3 level checked… And then have a doctor on speed dial who will write you a prescription for ivermectin,” Phil Valentine wrote on Facebook on July 13th, recommending an unproven drug used to treat livestock for worms.

1. I guess ivermectin didn't do the trick.

The mind boggles.

8. He should have tried ultraviolet light, disinfectant

And hydroxychloroquine….Dr. Ron Deathsentence has clinics down in Florida for monoclonal antibody treatment…..they could have shipped him down there for treatment….or like you said, a large tube of industrial sized horse paste. Tots and pears! The mind boggles indeed.

18. It got rid of the parasitic worm didn't it?

I'm very bad, I'm sorry.

2. It's too bad he endangered and hurt so many people before he ceased to be...

That's all I have to say about that.

3. "my patriotic duty for natural herd immunity."

I salute you sir! We and future generations...as a herd, will benefit from your willingness to self-cull the stupid.

4. This lib feels so owned right now.

I wish Sean Hannity could own me too.

[UpInArms]

16. I really want to be owned by Andrea Mitchell

[grumpyduck]

5. I have exceeded my quota of

fucks to give about these idiots dying from Covid.

Yes they have left families, but it was totally their choice.

14. I wonder how many of his listeners he took with him

And how many innocent people his listeners took with them.

15. Clarence Darrow (not Mark Twain) said it best

I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.

[Crunchy Frog]

17. About time. It took him long enough.

Wasn't he the one who was going to be put on ECMO a few weeks ago?

I guess he really did do his patriotic duty in the end.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Well, at least he did his patriotic duty. Too bad. I actually wanted this one to live because

according to his brother he was going to become "the biggest promoter ever" of the vaccine. The coverage of him going through rehab and PT, the stories he and his family told of suffering may have helped save lives.

We can't get back the lives he terminated and ruined with his influence before. And I DON'T feel even a little sorry for him. I am sorry for the opportunity lost.

[blugbox]

21. Sorry, not sorry...

Out of an abundance of caution, Phil has decided to be put in a casket and buried in the earth to give his soul much needed rest. We are confident that he will pull through, &.....
