Nashville is cursed with two 100,000 watt right wing propaganda radio stations, WLAC, and WWTN, where this turkey, Phil Valentine, has been spouting nonsense for years.
I called into his show years ago to supply some much needed facts in rebuttal to the BS he was spewing. He talked over me for over a minute until he could get to a commercial break.
The right wing nonsensical propaganda he spews has now hit him directly:
Conservative talk radio show host Phil Valentine has been hospitalized with COVID and is "fighting for his life," according to his family. After expressing concerns about COVID vaccines, he now plans to "vigorously advocate" for them, they said.
On Thursday, Phil Valentine's brother Mark Valentine released a statement on behalf of the family reading: "Phil contracted the Covid virus a little over a week ago & has since been hospitalized & is in very serious condition, suffering from Covid Pneumonia and the attendant side effects."

It’s amazing what it takes for some people to become believers in science. Valentine thought Vitamin D would keep him healthy and COVID free. Uh …
Phil Valentine has been publicly skeptical about all adults receiving the COVID vaccine. In his latest Facebook post on July 16, he questioned the safety of vaccines. Two days prior he wrote he was feeling better, and claimed without evidence "there are some very effective alternatives to the vaccine," and told those who are at high risk of dying from COVID to consider getting vaccinated.
In June, he shared a parody song on Twitter called Vaxman, which spoke about personal freedoms.

(Thanks to Ian Douglas Rushlau for adding this in comments):
"Among the unvaccinated in the United States, covid cases are once again on the rise, due to the highly-infectious 'Delta variant.' The rising cases are being fueled by vaccine hesitancy, which itself is being fueled by a dangerous pathogen scientists are calling the Republican party."
