A Collection of Right-Wing Radio Hosts Dead of COVID
Yes, every death is a tragedy, and Meditation 17 by John Donne, which states “no man is an island” is still as true today as the day it was written.
However.
The pattern that is starting to emerge here is at the very least, worthy of closer examination. That is:
- Right-wing radio host goes all-in on fanatical Trump support
- Said host parrots that COVID-19 is a "hoax"
- Problem: why would you need a vaccine for a hoax?
- Solution: the vaccine is worse than COVID!
- Radio demagogue screeches this idiocy daily to dim-witted listeners
- Contracts COVID
- Reality of full-body pain & agony of slow strangulation
- Repents of being a gullible idiot who led his listeners to death
- Radio host dies
Let’s check in on the current body count, shall we?
1. Marc Bernier, was a truly Awful Person.

… and finally, his last & pinned Tweet, comparing getting vaccinated to Nazi Gas Chambers
Should say, “Now the US Government is acting like Nazi’s. Get the shot!” https://t.co/8WLpXVxGRm

Bernier was off the air as of Monday, August 2, stricken with Covid-19 at home. Sean Hannity’s syndicated show was airing in his place. On Saturday, August 8th, Bernier was hospitalized, according to the WNDB station manager, who described Bernier as “anti-vaccine.” And that appears to be the last word on his status:

Drank the Kool-Aid
“I am not vaccinated. I am not a sheep.”
Weeks before dying from COVID, MAGA radio host Dick Farrel called for Dr. Fauci’s arrest, referred to COVID vaccines as “poison,” and declared, “I know I don’t need it nor ever will.”https://t.co/gLcc9ugDUX pic.twitter.com/5FU6aXYmbf

Phil Valentine was a performatively awful person:

Just FYI, if they find enough voter fraud in MI and WI and the recount in GA goes Trump’s way, this thing is over, and Biden is the loser. And he doesn’t even need PA. Yes, it’s a long shot, but let’s just let the process play out.
— Phil Valentine (@ValentineShow) November 11, 2020
Over 66,000 people voted in GA who were not legally old enough to vote. Biden won by less than 13,000. You do the math. I’ve been waiting for proof and this is just part of it. Thousands of dead people and thousands of felons voted. There’s no way the election can be certified.

Six states have now joined the actual lawsuit with Texas, in addition to all the states filing amicus briefs. SCOTUS has no choice but to invalidate the results in the 4 states named by Texas. See why here:https://t.co/goNOrB0VyE

This is U.S. government study that shows that masks not only don’t work, they are detrimental to your health. Wonder why this hasn’t been all over the news and touted by Fauci.https://t.co/MLi8W7hDFI

Mocked the vaccine:

Ah, but I’m sure their vaccine is perfectly safe. Don’t worry about it.https://t.co/mNC7Sj4XpV
— Phil Valentine (@ValentineShow) July 15, 2021
And then:
Mr. Valentine scoffed at the need for vaccines, writing on his blog that his chances of dying from the virus, should he become infected, were “way less than one percent.”
He announced his Covid-19 diagnosis on July 11 and pledged to return to his show within a day or two.
“Unfortunately for the haters out there, it looks like I’m going to make it,” he wrote. “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.”
Less than two weeks later, his radio station, 99.7 WTN, announced that the Nashville host was hospitalized “in very serious condition, suffering from Covid pneumonia.” The statement said Mr. Valentine had had a change of heart and urged others to get a vaccine.
Current status:
Phil Valentine died of COVID after mocking the disease as a hoax and spreading misinformation about the vaccine. He was on a ventilator for weeks. The Senator must have run out of space to include those details; there’s no way she’d omit facts in a manner that was self-serving. https://t.co/eoroksiSr4
