Another conservative media host dies. Called himself "Mr Anti-Vax"


Quote:
WNDB released a statement announcing that Marc Bernier, one of their longest-running figures on Daytona talk radio, has died. The news of Bernier’s passing comes weeks after local media reported he was hospitalized for Covid in early August.

“It’s with great sadness that WNDB and Southern Stone Communications announce the passing of Marc Bernier, who informed and entertained listeners on WNDB for over 30 years,” the station said. “We kindly ask that privacy is given to Marc’s family during this time of grief.

At least he put his money where his mouth is.

I suspect some of the loudest anti-vax voices are secretly vaxxed. Tucker Carlson comes to mind (he’s definitely vaxxed, as are all Fox hosts).

I didn't know they were "secretly vaxxed"--I have heard many...not all, because I don't watch them all--call on people to get vaccinated. I do hear some saying they should have the right to decide but not a lot of complete opposition to the vaccinations. Maybe I miss it; I check MSNBC, CNN, and Fox during the day but prefer not to hear from the more pundit-type folks at night. I do remember hearing Tucker saying to get vaccinated at least once.

I googled “Tucker anti vax” and this was just one of MANY recent articles that come up.

I'm okay with this one. I believe a patient even deserves euthanasia if that's what is desired. The judge is just enforcing the wishes of his power of attorney and the doctor is willing to give it to him.

Yeah, reading the article, I’m okay with it too.

It’s what he and his wife want. If he wants the medical care of a horse, treat him like a horse.

Just waiting for someone to say why don't you like people choosing to stay unvaccinated. Because this guy is only hurting himself.

I’ve got no problem with doctors in African countries with very low access to vaccines treating Covid in whichever way seems to work best.

But here in America - anyone can easily get a free, highly effective vaccine. Only true morons would choose the horse paste over that.
