A conservative talk radio host from Tennessee who had been a vaccine skeptic until he was hospitalized from COVID-19 now says his listeners should get vaccinated.

Phil Valentine’s brother, Mark Valentine, spoke at length on WWTN-FM in Nashville on Thursday about his brother’s condition, saying he is in a critical care unit on supplemental oxygen, but not on a ventilator. Phil Valentine has had an afternoon talk radio show on the station for years.

“First of all, he’s regretful that he wasn’t a more vocal advocate of the vaccination,” Mark Valentine said of his brother. “For those listening, I know if he were able to tell you this, he would tell you, ‘Go get vaccinated. Quit worrying about the politics. Quit worrying about all the conspiracy theories.'”

True...

I’m one of those Free Speech proponents, so I’ll be expecting to visit Room 101 sooner or later.

i don’t trust any medical professional that refuses to remain neutral and listen to anybody’s concerns about any medications and medical procedures...

I am assuming our friend is an anesthesiologist treating very ill patients in the hospital using drugs which he has personally seen work.

If our gas doctor is treating critically ill patients in the hospital then it is probably too late for hydroxyC or ivermectin. In every testimony or study I have seen, these are proposed as early treatment options only. Not for critical patients at the point of a ventilator.

That being said, we are on an anonymous internet opinion forum. Anyone can claim anything. There is no verification of identity here. Doctors whom I know and trust are using ivermectin as a treatment and seeing it work quite well -- if used early in the course of the disease.

On a humorous note, here’s the song Phil Valentine put out a month ago making fun of the vaccine that he now wishes he had taken.

Why are we talking about Ivermectin when there’s a vaccine that people are refusing to take? This thread got hijacked on the first response to be about the worm pill rather than the topic of the article which is that the IDIOT MITTEN Phil Valentine now wishes he’d been vaccinated.

A conservative talk radio host from Tennessee who had been a vaccine skeptic until he was hospitalized from COVID-19 now says his listeners should get vaccinated.

This, of course, is all transparent BS to create a false dichotomy. Even if we were to assume that this guy really was hospitalized with COVID, there are more possibilities than "COVID or vaccination".

The COVID could have been prevented or treated a number of different ways, including ivermection, hydroxychloroquine, and any number of nutritional elements, as well as behavioral things, such as staying fit, getting plenty of sunshine and fresh air, etc.

Additionally, we know that people who have received the "vaccines" aren't immune to COVID at all, and assume the risk, however large or small, of nasty side effects up to and including death.

So, the very concept of "either this or that" is false, but is fairly typical during these days of rampant lies and misinformation.

"Where do you get ivermectin?"

Please go to the following thread for info on getting ivermectin from India without a prescription and how to get a prescription for ivermectin in the U.S. This is for prevention or treatment or for an emergency supply.

That's what's so great about living in America and making individual choices and exercising our freedoms. I can decide for myself what to do as opposed to being told what to do.

You miss a critical fact trying to insert yourself into my life. The vaccines do not stop the transmission of the virus so me not getting vaccinated doesn't increase the risk of spreading it to my family.

And wonders of wonders, I didn't need to rely on my doctor to tell me that. Believe it or not, I can read myself. My family consists of my 74 year old wife who decided to get the vaccine and our adoptive 4 year old granddaughter who lives with us and is at no risk.

But most important, living on a farm in the country means we are isolated most of the time from other people. Very seldom go to town and don't socialize. None of us owns or wears masks except for a couple of old wadded up ones in the glove boxes of our cars in case one is required somewhere.

What is laughable, is my wife and our granddaughter went to the beach this last week. There were actually people wearing masks out on the beach. Seriously?

You have an inflated view of your own self importance and like most people who are full of themselves, you know nothing about my situation enough to be lecturing me on what I should do with my own health and doctor.

I suggest you take care of your own business since you stepped in it big time trying to tell me what to do.

Who are the people you are addressing supposed to believe, anonymous nonmedical posters on FR or the Wall Street Journal? They did they own survey all around the country last week and found 97% of the hospitalized were unvaccinated.

For your information, read this letter written by Zev Zelenko and Joel Groden, two doctors who have treated thousands of Covid patients.

https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/frontlinenews/dr-zelenko-in-letter-to-editor-answers-attack-on-covid-shot-cautiousness/

Pay particular attention to paragraphs 9-10 which I will reproduce here:

from the letter:

The discussion about early treatments for COVID, and their global suppression, is the crux of the entire matter. Dr. Berman’s very short response does not do justice to the topic. If there are effective cures for corona, AS THERE ARE, no vaccine is needed. As a researcher, I have been following this topic for a very long time, and I, and the doctors I collaborate with, can unequivocally state AS AN ABSOLUTE FACT THAT THE TREATMENTS DO WORK, and they work very well. Tens of thousands of COVID patients have been cured with them. In fact, they are so effective that the vaccines would never have gotten Emergency Use Authorization if the treatments would have been acknowledged by the FDA.

It is absolutely scandalous that the FDA pretended, and continues to pretend, that there is no cure for COVID.

Mr. Birtz is absolutely correct that the government, mainstream news media, social media, and pharmaceutical companies are working together in a coordinated effort to suppress the knowledge and availability of these safe, effective cures and preventions, and to vilify them. The studies are there, and the proof is overwhelming. The doctors that I collaborate with use these treatments and save thousands of lives.

Used correctly, the proper early treatments can save almost everyone. As Dr. Zev Zelenko so aptly put it, there are only two risk factors for COVID: the doctor you choose, and the government you live under. With the right treatment, virtually nobody had to die in this pandemic, no matter how old or what comorbidities they had. If you doubt this, ask Dr. Zev Zelenko, Dr. Stella Immanuel, and other heroes what their secret is to saving so many thousands of lives. It’s actually not a secret – they do their best to share it with the world. It’s the simple protocols of HCQ, Ivermectin, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, and anti-inflammatories, anticoagulants, and antibiotics as needed. There are also natural supplements that help tremendously. These aren’t “new”. All these treatments have been known for a year or more, but they are not being used by most doctors and hospitals, and that is why people are still dying.

The government is spending billions to promote the vaccine and “save lives”, but if they truly desired to save lives, the first and easiest thing that they could have done would have been to encourage Vitamin D supplementation. Studies show that people with an excellent Vitamin D blood level (a level over 50) simply do not end up in the ICU, or die of corona.

Why is this fact not all over the news?

In order to have an effective dialogue about this topic, it is necessary to acknowledge the open and proven fact of the censorship of information about effective corona treatments (and of the dangers of the vaccine). For an excellent presentation showing the censorship in the media, please see here.

The media is open about and proud of their censorship, and they have an agreement called “the trusted news initiative”. This is not a secret. You can look it up.

We can do this kind of headline too:

"Liberal TV host beaten and robbed regrets supporting Black Lives Matter, relatives say."

It's just beneath the dignity of the Deep State's Republican Wing to respond in kind. /s

Sorry Phil, but you should have taken precautions to shore up your immune system. Vit C, D3, Zinc, and magnesium. Come down with symptoms, then hydroxychloquine and Zinc. Look on the bright side. If you live, you still wont need a vaccine!
