Conservative radio host, former vaccine skeptic ill with Covid-19
Phil Valentine, who was unvaccinated, is urging fans to "GO GET VACCINATED," his family said.

A conservative radio host in Tennessee who expressed skepticism about Covid-19 vaccines and was unvaccinated is hospitalized in critical care with the disease, his station announced Friday.
Phil Valentine, who hosts a show bearing his name on WWTN-FM in Nashville, contracted the coronavirus a little more than a week ago and is battling pneumonia, his family said in a statement posted on Twitter.
He is in the hospital in the critical care unit breathing with assistance but is NOT on a ventilator, the family said. Phil would like for his listeners to know that while he has never been an anti-vaxer he regrets not being more vehemently Pro-Vaccine, and looks forward to being able to more vigorously advocate that position as soon as he is back on the air, which we all hope will be soon.
"Phil & his family would like for all of you to know that he loves yall and appreciates your concern, thoughts & prayers more than you will ever know. Please continue to pray for his recovery and PLEASE GO GET VACCINATED!

Not even CLOSE to the same thing as a ventilator. Probably just a precaution anyway.
