A Nashville-based conservative radio talk show host by the name of Phil Valentine who told his listeners that he didn’t think the vaccine was necessary and believed his personal odds of dying from Covid-19 were “probably way less than one percent” has now perished from the virus. He was 61.
His brother Mark Valentine spoke out from the hospital:
“He recognizes now that him not getting the vaccination has probably caused a bunch of other people not to get vaccinated. And that he regrets.’
“This is a real threat, it is a real public health crisis and it is something that if he had to do over again … his cavalier attitude wouldn’t have been what it was and he would have gotten vaccinated and encouraged everybody to get vaccinated,” he added.
How many deaths is Phil Valentine responsible for?
