Three anti-vax conservative radio hosts have died from Covid in one month

“Bogus,” Dick Farrel called Covid vaccines. “Promoted by people that lied.”

“I’m not taking it, are you kidding me? Mr Anti-Vax?’ said Marc Bernier.

“If you’re not at high risk of dying from Covid then you’re probably safer not getting it,” said Phil Valentine.

All three men, influential conservative radio hosts well known for their vaccine scepticism, went on to die of Covid within a year of their comments, and within just a month of each other.

Their deaths were, for many, a tragic reminder of the realities of Covid – and the serious dangers of the misinformation surrounding it.
