Charlie Sykes had a piece this morning that listed a bunch of the conservative radio assholes from which I have stolen the following:
5. Dick Farrel
A West Palm Beach Florida radio host who died of COVID had also mocked medical experts.
But as recently as July, Farrel wrote, βVaccine Bogus Bull Shid!, Two peeps I know, got vaxed, now have Corona, hospitalized critical. Thank you Moderna, FOR NOTHING!ββ
He died in early August of COVID complications.
6. Jimmy DeYoung
Jimmy DeYoung had also made a point of spreading skepticism about the COVID vaccine.
He died in mid-August of COVID-19.
7. Marc Bernier
Before he got COVID, Marc Bernier had called himself, βMr Anti-Vaxβ.
One of the last things that conservative talk show host did before he died of COVID was to send out this tweet:
8. H Scott Apley
Forty-five-year-old H. Scott Apley was a member of the Texas Republican Partyβs governing board. βI wish I lived in the area!β he wrote this spring about a βmask burningβ party in Cincinnati.
According to the Washington Post, he once replied on Twitter to a doctorβs post celebrating the effectiveness of Pfizerβs shots against the coronavirus: βYou are an absolute enemy of a free people.β He remained a skeptic almost to the very end. Via the Wapo:
