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.

Frank LoCascio, the Dapper Don's former underboss and acting consigliere, passed away Friday at the Federal Medical Center, Devens - a facility that houses federal prisoners with health issues - in Massachusetts.

The great class divide: Spending gap between private and state schools DOUBLES as they spend £6,500 more per pupil, study shows

Private school pupils have almost twice as much money spent on them as their state sector peers, a study shows. The Institute for Fiscal Studies found the gap has doubled over the last decade. While private school fees have risen by 23 per cent, per-pupil spending by the Government has fallen by 9 per cent in real terms after inflation. It meant average private school fees last year were £13,600 while state spending per pupil was around £7,100 – a gap of £6,500. In 2009-10, private school fees were £11,100 on average and state spending was £8,000, a difference of just £3,100.

Where do most people refuse the COVID-19 vaccine? See what place in the ranking is your state.

Reluctance to vaccinate is partly responsible for the recent delta epidemics across much of the United States. According to a recent US Census Bureau poll, 25.9 million Americans - or 10.4% of the population aged 18 and over - said they would likely or permanently refuse the vaccine. Depending on the state, the percentage of eligible individuals likely to refuse vaccinations ranges from 25.2% to 3.7% of the adult population. The Northeast is home to the states with the highest percentage of adults seeking the vaccine. Many Americans who have not yet been vaccinated report one of three reasons: they worry about possible side effects, they want to wait and see if the vaccine is safe, or they have trouble getting the vaccine. Others offer different explanations. 16.3 million adults, or 6.5% of the adult population, do not trust COVID-19 vaccines, while another 6,980,000, or 2.8%, do not think COVID-19 is a serious threat. Additionally, because they do not trust the government, 13.8 millio...
