NASHVILLE, Tenn (WTVF) — Conservative talk radio host Phil Valentine has died following a lengthy battle with COVID-19. He was 61 years old.

...


Recently Valentine voiced skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine.

In December of 2020 he tweeted "I have a very low risk of A) Getting COVID and B) dying of it if I do. Why would I risk getting a heart attack or paralysis by getting the vaccine?"

He even recorded a parody song - Vaxman - mocking the vaccine.

In July, he told his audience he had COVID and he expected to be back soon.

I wonder if these sorts of deaths will even move the needle on antivaxxer opinion. I suspect not
No. They just go into conspiracies about how ventilators kill people and that he probably got the vaccine in secret and that gave him covid.

His death will convince very few people, if any at all because most of the people left without the vaccine are hardcore into conspiracies, and yes that includes Trump supporters.

Welp.

And absolutely good of that article to remind ppl of his stance on the vaccine and Covid in general. Yeah, he came to his senses after the fact but it was literally too lil too late ...oh well.

And his "senses" would have lasted about a week. The people that tune in to him don't want to hear about the vaccine. They want to be lied to. They want to be angry. Listeners would be dropping like flies and he'd stop that shit real quick. Their whole life mentality is rotten to the core and it very rarily changes. The power and the money is what they live for. Or in his case, died for.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the people he convinced not to get the vaccine that also died or are suffering long-term complications due to COVID.

It's just God calling one of his most powerful spirit warriors home a little early. 👼

I'm sure the COVID diagnosis was a lie promulgated by Big Science to make this guy look bad.

Even if he survived, his quality of life would have been shit. He went through an agonising month for both himself and his family and friends for no reason.

Millions of people are suffering without having the vaccine, mostly due to a lack of access or are immunocompromised or not eligible in some other way. On top of that so many are ending up in the hospital and needing treatment not just for Covid symptoms but other diseases and conditions like cancer that are not able to get their care thanks to these anti-vaxxers.

I don't understand. Why did he spend a month in hospital? I thought he distrusted medical science, since he was against the vaccine.

Last month:

"Yes, the rumors are true. I have COVID. Unfortunately for the haters out there, it looks like I'm going to make it. Interesting experience. I'll have to fill you in when I come back on the air. I'm hoping that will be tomorrow, but I may take a day off just as a precaution. It'll be a game time decision."

I just don't get how people let themselves get brainwashed to believe mocking vaccines and dying is a better idea than just getting a vaccine.

humanity is just urg.

Too bad more of the republicans don't get high on their own supply like this one. I do love how these z tiers weren't let in on the real grift. Should we tell Phil that weve all actually been vaxxed? Nah.

They get other vaccines though. Plenty are required to attend schools or colleges, or the military, or immigration. It's just this vaccine, because reasons.
