The pandemic has fleshed a wealth of fresh derangement out of conservative figures who already had demonstrated a pretty high capacity for it. Dennis Prager, however, is putting his anti-vaxx colleagues to shame. The 73-year-old radio host, perhaps best known for trying to pass off conservative propaganda videos as reputable under the name “PragerU,” has been projectile vomiting Covid misinformation since the pandemic began.

Phil Valentine, the Nashville-based radio talk show host known for his skepticism of Covid-19 vaccines, has died following a battle with the virus. He was 61.
His station, SuperTalk 99.7 Wtn, confirmed the news in a statement posted to Twitter on Saturday afternoon. “We are saddened to report that our host and friend Phil Valentine has passed away,” a spokesperson wrote. “Please keep the Valentine family in your thoughts and prayers.”
