A right-wing radio host has died from the coronavirus after leading a campaign against masks and vaccines.
Bob Enyart, pastor of the Denver Bible Church, passed away on Monday after contracting Covid earlier in the month. The news was confirmed by Fred Williams, who hosted the Real Science Radio Show along with Enyart.
It comes with an extremely heavy heart that my close friend and co-host of Real Science Radio has lost his battle with Covid, Williams said. Bob Enyart was one of the smartest, and without question the wisest person Ive known. All the while being exceedingly kind and humble, and always, always willing to listen and discuss anything you wanted.
Over the course of the pandemic, Enyart said he and his wife refused to get vaccinated, falsely claiming on his website that the vaccines were tested on the cells of aborted babies. Enyart also waged legal battles against mask mandates and social distancing guidelines while downplaying the seriousness of the pandemic. The Denver Post notes that before the pandemic, Enyart was known as an anti-abortion activist and provocateur who used to have a bit on his old TV show where hed mock people who died of AIDS by reading out their names while Queens Another One Bites the Dust played in the background.

(12,500 posts)if I knew he was dying I would have tried to visit him in the hospital to tell him; "I'm sad you're going to die in the hour or two Bob, because Fox News just announced that The Donald is being re-inaugurated as president for life tomorrow, and you're going to miss all the fun. Bye Bob".
