FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WKRN) — Conservative radio talk show host Phil Valentine has died after weeks in a Nashville area hospital battling COVID-19, according to his station, SuperTalk 99.7 WTN.

During a live broadcast at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, several of Valentine’s coworkers and close friends announced they had spoken with Valentine’s brother Mark, who confirmed the 61-year-old passed away earlier in the afternoon.

Vax people die

It’s not yet a cure all

[nutmeg]

Never heard of him but based on the FR comments here, he seemed like a good guy.

RIP MR.Valentine

Dittos to that. I've never heard of him either, but it's a damn tragedy whenever we lose another good conservative - famous or not. Rest in Peace, Mr. Valentine.

If you believe in Dr. Kory, listen to what he says:

Vaccines will offer better, or longer-lasting, protection than any drug.

So get vaccinated, and if you want to play with Ivermectin afterwards, go for it.

remdisivir == toxic Niacin.
remdisivir will make covid worse

[WoofDog123]

when is critical. if he started late, it won’t do any or much good.

[WoofDog123]

how do you evaluate risks of ADE down the road from current vax products, particularly in light of this issue with coronavirus vaccines in general and sars-1 in particular?

based on an article on nih site recently it seems ade is not being specifically highlighted in the informed consent disclosure, but I have seen no one claim it is not a possibility. it seems like something people should be made aware of.

[WoofDog123]

does xlear kill virus in the nasal passages? what frequency of use is suggested during suspected (or known) exposures?

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Was he vaccinated?

NO. He openly opposed vaccination and even sang a parody of vaccines by changing the lyrics of the Beatles’ song, TAXMAN to VAXMAN.

I think after his hospitalization, he openly expressed his regret for not heing vaccinated.

Treatments don’t create antibodies. The illness does. And the illness creates long-lasting broad immunity for most ppl. The best immune system is one in which vitamin D blood levels are optimized; those ppl might not even develop antibodies because their base level immunity is so strong.

You can take my cv19vx. I’m never taking it.

We are 20 months into COVID, and it is been over a year since the Pfizer large scale phase 3 trial started and ADE hasn't shown up yet for natural cases or vaccinations.

[Steve Van Doorn]

from your article:
" Research has demonstrated that using this medicine for prophylaxis can reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection by 92.5%."

They misleadingly calculate the “effective” number by calculating the reduction in infections from the vaccinated versus the placebo which was 0.74 (placebo)-0.04 (vax)=0.7 and then they divide that result by the total placebo cases to get the 95% effective rate: 0.7/0.74=0.95.

This study came out in Dec 2020 when they where still in the first phase of the injections. Meaning they couldn't have gotten any actual effectiveness when they recently put it in the arm.
This is the study they took it from
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT04368728?term=NCT04368728&id=NCT04368728&draw=2&rank=1

this study came out in phase two
Peer-reviewed research from @TheLancet shows that the experimental vaccines reduce your chance of catching COVID-19 by:
Pfizer: 0.8%
Johnson & J: 1.2%
Moderna: 1.2%
AstraZeneca: 1.3%
So, basically NO prevention, no immunity and no antibodies

I will miss Phil.

[Steve Van Doorn]

said, "ADE hasn't shown up yet"
Yes it has.
1. I've been wondering why there is no informed consent for these injections. From the national institutes of health. from the report: "may worsen COVID‐19 disease via antibody‐dependent enhancement (ADE)"

My take on how this reads: Answer:
People wouldn't get the injections if they knew how bad it was.

Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID‐19 vaccines worsening clinical disease

2. PCR tests are showing more organisms in vaccinated tests then unvaccinated tests consistently. This is a sign of ADE

[Wayne07]

It isn't "my article", I think Dr Kory is kinda of a kook. I was just replying to one of his ivermectin followers. If you believe Kory's hype on IVM, you should listen to his whole message and take the vaccine as well.

As for the Lancet, you don't understand what the numbers mean, particularly ARR.

Let’s say a study enrolled 20,000 patients into the control group and 20,000 in the vaccine group. In that study, 200 people in the control group got sick and 0 people in the vaccine group got sick. Even though the vaccine efficacy would be a whopping 100%, the ARR would show that vaccines reduce the absolute risk by just 1% (200/20,000= 1%). For the ARR to increase to 20% in our example study with a vaccine with 100% efficacy, 4,000 of the 20,000 people in the control group would have to get sick (4,000/20,000= 20%).”

Here is what the author of the Lancet piece said about people distorting his study:

When asked about the claim, Olliaro, professor of poverty related infectious diseases at the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health of Oxford University ( here ) told Reuters via email it was “extremely disappointing to see how information can be twisted.” He also said, “Bottom line: these vaccines are good public health interventions,” and added that in the commentary, “We do not say vaccines do not work.”

Sorry to say you are the victim of propaganda meant to damage

[TomServo]

Hey Wardaddy, I also had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Phil especially during the tax protest.

Not surprised this thread is devolving into a shit show for such a fine man.

[Wayne07]

There have been no reported cases of ADE. That there was risk in the vaccine is known. Lucky for us we have science and they have avoided it. Showing a mention in a disclaimer isn't evidence of actual cases, right? We can agree on that?

PCR tests are showing more organisms in vaccinated tests then unvaccinated tests consistently. This is a sign of ADE

1, Virus aren't organisms. 2, this is nonsense. Tons of data shows lower viral load in vaccinated people. 3, A sign of ADE is severe illness and dying.

I grew up working on and then also operating a NW IL grain and livestock farm. It was very physical. The three square meals a day were a necessity. Then I became a truck driver. I realized real quick that I needed to eat less and do some exercising. The sit all day jobs should only require half the calories, unless there is a dedicated exercise regimen.

At age 67, I am not the slightest bit interested in having big muscles, nor going to a gym. I do some good old calesthenics and core exercises on the living room floor, go out to the garage and get on the old Nordic track ski machine for a few minutes, then go run up a 200 yard stretch of the dead end road, in front of our house a few times. It all takes about 35-40 minutes. I do this about 3 times a week. Sometimes mixing in a few miles on the bicycle.

Rebuilt nordic tracks are cheap and give a good workout. I bought mine about 8 yrs ago on ebay, and haven’t needed any parts for it, but they are available. Just make sure that there is tension on the flywheel spring before stepping into the skis. Other than that they are easy to get used to.

[Patriot Babe]

Thank you for giving me hope.

[Steve Van Doorn]

I have Wayne07 written down a few months back as a Bad actor on freerepublic.
What that means to me is that you ignore or manipulate data to make an argument. Meaning you did this to me in the past.
This is far worse then a troll.

Absolute risk reduction (ARR) – also called risk difference (RD) – is the most useful way of presenting research results to help your decision-making. In this example, the ARR is 8 per cent (20 per cent - 12 per cent = 8 per cent). This means that, if 100 children were treated, 8 would be prevented from developing bad outcomes.

Relative risk reduction (RRR) tells you by how much the treatment reduced the risk of bad outcomes relative to the control group who did not have the treatment.
more on the differences:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK63647/

From the report from the lancet
" With the use of only RRRs, and omitting ARRs, reporting bias is introduced, which affects the interpretation of vaccine efficacy"

[Mr Rogers]

Very few people are dying from the vaccine. I don’t believe in mandates but the vaccines are not causing people to drop like flies. And too many are dying needlessly, given the percentage of deaths among the unvaccinated.
