Marc Bernier, a talk radio host in Daytona Beach for 30 years, died after a three-week battle with COVID-19, WNDB and Southern Stone Communications announced on Twitter Saturday night.

Bernier, 65, of Ormond Beach, has been remembered in recent days as a conservative who sought out and aired others' points of view while airing a morning comment, three-hour afternoon show, weekend shows and specials, such as remote town halls and political debates. He interviewed countless governors, senators, mayors, sheriffs, journalists, historians and authors.

He also was an outspoken opponent of vaccinations.

I’m well aware. Over 50 y/o is considered dangerous for Covid, as is being overweight. If one doesn’t eat healthy, workout, and take supplements, it increases potential problems with Covid.

Did he have high blood pressure?
Systemic inflammation?
Blood sugar issues?
Other underlying causes?

I’m never taking the vaccine, but I take excellent care of myself. The US is full of pill popping fatties. I’m not saying he was.

Life expectancy is an average. Half die before, half after. My wife keeps doing that to me. Some dude kicks the bucket at 65 and she says: “Oh, that poor guy died before his time.” Umm, no, not even close. His death at 65 balances out some other guy’s at 80ish.

Did he have co-morbidities? That seems to be the main factor in bad reaction to WuhanFlu. Just overweight doesn’t do it. Other issues, perhaps some that would not be talked about on a show.

I know lots of people who think that the unvaccinated should get no care whatsoever if they catch Covid.

I am starting to think that if a public figure who has been vehemently stating his or her opposition to the vaccine ends up in the hospital the medical staff may be fine with just letting the disease take its course, come what may.

Ordinary folk (or their families if the patient died) who have been against the disease get a chance to recant and publicly warn the masses. Treatment is then extended to these converts.

But what is never, ever written in these reports is why anyone who is in otherwise good health (vaccinated or not) ends up at the hospital with COVID already fairly far advanced. Making survival rather iffy. In the coming months I believe we will see more serious COVID cases in the vaccinated even if right now that is not so. Then what will the media report?

This article reads like this guy was on Free Republic claiming it’s just the flu and you dont need anything but the “cocktail”. Now he is dead.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/texas-man-worked-covid-measures-dies-virus-79708696

I hate those posts. It’s a disservice to people. One of the biggest proponents of the cocktail...Dr Ben Marble...still had to get an infusion when he got COVID

If you make the choice not to get the vaccine(I have not) then have a plan that involves more than the cocktail(yes, I have all the ingredients and will take it)

If you fit the parameters to get the antibody infusion then have a plan on how you are going to get it. If you screw around too long with Ivermectin you run out of time to get the infusion.

Covid is not just the flu. You have no idea if it will kill you or if you will skate by with little problem.

And take this to the bank..you may think you have nothing that is a comorbidity but many are just lurking in bodies. Every CT scan I get has “incidental” findings that I had no idea I had. Some significant. Some not.

>>Can’t shake the uncomfortable suspicion that some Covid patients are not getting quality care depending on their “political” beliefs.

I doubt that very much, but I do know many doctors don’t want to deal with patients that refuse to get vaccinated and then come running for help when they get sick.

On a similar note: I personally know doctors that have refused to treat smokers (have them as patients) if they don’t plan or want to quit smoking - can’t say that I really blame them.

Maybe his first mistake was going to a cdc licensed and approved doctor. And then making sure his insurance will cover most of the death protocol set up by the cdc.

“.... if a public figure who has been vehemently stating his or her opposition to the vaccine ends up in the hospital ...”

Very few people will give a damn, and a near majority will say ‘deserved it’.

I predict that any care for anything Covid related will be pretty much unavailable to the unvaccinated pretty soon.

How many COVID jabs were given compared to the number of other jabs? What are the percentages of deaths compared to the number of shots?

A morbidly obese friend of mine was told by his former doctor to find another doctor.

There needs to be a multiprong approach to both preventing (or minimizing)and treating COVID. Early treatment with Ivermectin, etc. Is not meant to be a substitute for further treatments. The idea is to keep the COVID from advancing to the pneumonia stage. So a combination of methods should be encouraged not seen as competing with each other.

Was Covid worse than the average seasonal flu; indeed.

With the amount of propaganda surrounding this from the very beginning that is currently impossible to say. My wife's brother supposedly died very early on “from Covid”. However he was on Hospice Care for an inoperable cancerous brain tumor.

So many other deaths that were blamed on Covid were actually from “comorbidities” and had little to nothing to do with Covid. So I do not know... those who think that they know from hovering over daily reports from tainted sources such as World-O-Meter et al. are gullible fools.

Life expectancy is not the same as life span. What is considered the an average life expectancy is how long one can expect to live at birth. A baby born today can reasonably expect to live 72 years or so. Life expectancy changes as one gets older. Males tend to die at younger ages because of wars, fighting, fast cars and motorcycle accidents. That happens a lot in teens and twenties. After that life expectancy goes way up for males who don’t ride motorcycles or dive into rivers from bridges. Like me. Never rode a motorcycle and never dove from a bridge. At 64 my life expectancy is way past 72. The older you get the longer you can expect to live.

Yes and that is exactly how I am approaching it. I am trying to keep from getting it until a different vaccine comes out.

I think I am going to get the pneumonia vax next since there are studies that show it may help. I am still researching the meningitis vax since that may the most helpful as per some studies.

I had to go for a pulmonary breathing test in a huge hospital. As soon as I got out of there I stuck a PVP iodine swab in my nose and gargled with the mouthwash that is suppose to help kill COVID...right in the parking garage. LOLOL

Funny how it’s people who don’t get the vaccination end up getting really sick. Weird huh?

There practically doesn’t need to be any approach to treating covid. Covid itself needs to die at least in its media incarnation. For everyone else it should be treated without being part of some grand pandemic.

I’m truly bummed. Listened to him most every day. Called in here and there. Good guy.

Fyi, he was overweight, HBP, and a diabetic. Not much exercise either. He knew he could be hit hard. Said so regularly. He was not a proponent of ivermectin.

I think getting the pneumonia vaccine is a great idea. So is everything else you are doing.
