Phil Valentine, a 61-year-old radio host from Tennessee and vaccine skeptic, has died of COVID.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - Phil Valentine, a conservative radio host from Tennessee who was skeptical of vaccines until he contracted COVID-19, has died. He was then 61 years old.

On Saturday, Super Talk 99.7, which starred with the popular conservative radio host, tweeted: "We are devastated to report that our host and friend Phil Valentine has passed away." "Prayers and thoughts are needed for the family on Valentine's Day."

Valentine has previously expressed doubts about the coronavirus vaccination. However, after testing positive for COVID-19 and before going to the hospital, he advised his listeners to consider the following: “If I buy this COVID item, is there a chance of it? to die? In this case, he recommended that they be vaccinated. He said he decided not to get the vaccine because he believed he would not die.

Mark Valentine said his brother wished he had become a "stronger supporter of vaccination" after Valentine's transfer to the nursing unit intensified.



“I'm sure if he could tell you, he would tell you to get the vaccine. Don't worry about politics. On July 25, Mark Valentine told the Tennessean: "Stop worrying about all the conspiracy theories."

“He would like him to insist more on vaccinations. Take a look at the data, said Mark Valentine.

My brother refuses to be vaccinated: I asked why. Here are his excuses. Like my reviews.

A radio host for 20 years, Valentine rose to fame as a Tory talk show host in Nashville in 2001 after opposing the state income tax planned by the Republican governor. Don Sandqvist at the time.

The Valentine Show became a national show that aired on 100 stations for 12 years. Valentine was given a three-year contract in 2019 to stay on Super Talk 99.7 WTN at the end of her stay.

Valentine told Tennessean four years ago that his mother's death in a car crash prompted him to leave his small North Carolina community.

“Everything is fine in my hometown, but the main thing is the big markets,” she said, said Valentin. "I did not accept it until my mother passed away."

Valentine wanted to be a rock star since she was a child and started performing in bands at the age of 13.

After a friend Steve Brown told him, "You have a deep voice," he dropped out of college and went to broadcast school. Why not try your hand at the radio? "

Valentine became a fiction writer and podcaster towards the end of his career, teaming up with his son Campbell to share stories on historical and other non-political topics.

When they joked about their connection on the father-son PodGOATs podcast, the elder Valentine softened.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn expressed their condolences on Twitter.

Senator Marsha Blackburn tweeted: "Phil Valentine was a visionary in the Conservative movement and had a huge impact on the lives of many Tennessee residents." “My sincere condolences and prayers go out to Phil's wife, Susan, and their family. In this terrible time, may they be comforted and surrounded by love.

The Taliban's medieval justice: The corpses of three 'criminals' are hoisted from diggers in Herat after they 'invaded another man's home and tried to rob him' in Afghanistan

The bodies of three alleged criminals were hung from diggers in Afghanistan by the Taliban, harrowing pictures released today show. According to deputy governor Mawlawi Shir Ahmad Muhajir, the three men were killed by another man when they entered his home in Obe district in Herat province. In the graphic images shared on social media, the corpses are shown publicly hoisted into the air and hanging by their necks from the raised arms of two diggers as people below watch on and take photographs. Tuesday's gruesome publicly display is yet another example of the kind of practices that feed international concern that the Taliban have returned to their brutal ways last seen when they were in control of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. This is despite the Taliban frequently insisting to the world that it has changed from the hard-line Islamic group that doled out brutal punishments to criminals and greatly restricted the rights of the country's citizens, particularly women and girls.

The Texas abortion ban sends mixed signals about the future of Roe v. Wade.

Legal experts say it is still unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing abortion guarantees, which it plans to review later this year. Despite uproar from activist organizations that see the move as a de facto departure from the 1973 ruling, the Supreme Court's failure to act on Texas's near-total abortion ban does not necessarily mean Roe v. Wade is dead. Legal experts say it is unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing guarantees for abortion, which it plans to review later this year when it hears a direct appeal against this important ruling. Texas' first-of-its-kind law allows individuals, not the government, to impose a six-week ban on abortion and file lawsuits against health professionals or anyone who helps someone get an abortion. Clinics and other potential claimants will find it more difficult to establish their position in court or to determine a specific target for satisfying claims due to the unusual enforcement mechanism.
