Conservative radio talk show host Phil Valentine has been hospitalized with COVID-19, according to his brother.
“He is in the hospital in the critical care unit breathing with assistance but is NOT on a ventilator,” Mark Valentine said in a statement posted to Facebook on Thursday.
“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,” he wrote.

Sorry to hear.
It’s sad where it’s comes to the point
of “damned if you do, damned if you
don’t” get the jab. Prayers up.
Getting the jab doesn’t mean you still won’t end up in the hospital. I’ll take my chances without it
Delta can by pass the existing vaccinated after 4 months Israeli data shows less than 16% effectiveness from 4 to 6 months down from 80+% at months one. Delta is also 1200 times higher viral load in the respiratory track making it vastly more transmissible. It has a documented RT factor of 5 the alpha strain was RT of 2 that’s not linear it’s logarithmic every generation of Delta is logarithmicly worse. Pfizer and Moderna have in testing right now specify targeted Mrna for Delta as it has 7 mutations from the alpha strain. With the targeted Mrna effectiveness should match the alpha strain rate in the mid 90% range. Those targeted boosters for the existing vaccinated and targeted initial shots for newly vaccinated Delta should be squashed like the alpha strain has effectively been , the Delta is by far the dominate strain as alpha has run out of hosts.
What’s the J&J Delta effectiveness? I’ve seen mixed reports (it’s great! It’s bad!)
Israel dropped Pfizer for Moderna as they think Pfizer’s delta handling is bad but Moderna’s was OK
This man, this Phil Valentine, was brave enough, years and years ago, to move to Philadelphia (where we lived at the time), and tried soooo hard to offer a conservative viewpoint. He was so nice and I felt sorry for him, because Philly, at that time, was BAD and it became WORSE.
He finally had to leave, but I dropped him a note...AND HE ANSWERED ME WITH A HANDWRITTEN NOTE thanking me.
I’ll never forget that. You know why, because that’s what people who are conservative do. They are NICE, they are thoughtful, they are appreciative and they are America. Unlike the horrible Left hypocrites.
Sorry to vent, but I will pray for Mr. Valentine, who tried, in a horrible CITY, to make a difference.
Here are recent podcasts of his show (the site says his radio show starts in 13 hours) https://www.talkstreamlive.com/program/phil_valentine
Apparently not that great more than one source is telling J&J single shot users to get the Pfizer or Moderna booster specifically for Delta antibodies. Makes sense the J&J was a whole androvirus vaccine and doesn’t target the spike proteins specifically. Pfizer and Moderna both go right after the spike proteins Delta has enhanced spike protein mutations so one would expect the targeted mrna to be more effective.
The rate at which non-high risk public figures who do not openly support the vax, or who speak against it ‘suddenly’ contract Covid appears to be MUCH higher than the non-high risk average Joe gets ‘Covid’. In fact, your ‘risks’ of getting Covid somehow go up with every broadcast and public statement. It’s biowarfare, and they aren’t done fighting yet.
If this person and their physicians were aware of the safe effective treatments that have been available for a long time now, and were allowed to use them, this person would not be in the hospital. But the Center for Disease Control is preventing access to drugs, fanning panic etc. to drive people to use the ‘vaccines’ that China and Bill Gates would like us to use, or else.
““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’,”
Everyone is once they come down with the *hit and nearly die from a full blown case of it. I damn near died from it and my neighbor has been in the hospital for month and can’t shake it.
You fail to tell the whole story and while using the colloquial anti Covid vaccine get the jab rhetoric …. The data are clearly bearing out that being vaccinated prevents critical illness virtually 100% of the time. In a population of 25M or so in Florida there are zip…zero…nada critically ill people who have been vaccinated. No deaths. No critical illness. And according to Florida board of health statistics 97% is hospitalized cases are not vaccinated. The other 3% do not progress snd leave the hospital within days id admission
There is no ADE. It would have long been seen. We know as the clinical trials have shown that these vaccines are safe and effective. This is borne out again wirh the Florida data
It is most likely going to ruffle some peoples point of view but the data are overwhelming at this point. You have made it clear you will take you chances as is your choice. No one is mandating vaccination on this forum. However please let’s actually tell the truth about what is happening. And the truth is this…vaccination will prevent your from dying. And in the vast majority of cases will prevent you from getting sick.
Ivermectin, HCQ and Zinc do a good job reducing the propagation of the viral load in the body - yet they still don’t treat until one is sick enough to be hospitalized - maybe because there’s more money for them to be in beds than walking to the drug store.
I really think most doctors are trying to do what is best for their patients,
Getting vaccinated does significantly improve one’s chances.
He’d still be in the hospital even with the jab. I love the way these articles never say if the victim er patient was given any medication at time of diagnosis.
How exactly do you know that?
Most new covid cases are vaccinated.
No.

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/21/coronavirus-texas-vaccinated-deaths/
For every article saying no there are three saying yes. CBS is your go to for info? 😣
Gee that’s odd.
In the southeast 97% patients are unvaccinated. 100% of critically ill patients are unvaccinated.
These are the actual data.
It is completely inaccurate to state the majority hospitalized are vaccinated.
