Conservative radio talk show host Phil Valentine remains in “grave condition” a month after being hospitalized with COVID-19, according to his family.

In a statement provided Monday evening, relatives asked his friends and followers to “pray for a miracle,” as he remained in “grave condition.”

Valentine’s family revealed on July 22 that he was hospitalized “in very serious condition” and was suffering from “covid pneumonia,” along with other side effects of the virus.

Only conservatives. Rarely liberals.

Always enjoy hearing him on the radio when I get a chance. Funny how they have to point out his mask/vaxx stance.

Masks do nothing, and they never said whether he took the clot-shot himself.

Very sad
I wonder what his over all health was?

Be interesting to know whether or not he did, but...none of my business, too. I wish him well. We all have a day coming. I'll proclaim my anti-mask/anti-hokey pokey jab stance even from my Rona death bed. When it's our time, it's our time.

“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,” his family wrote in their initial statement following his hospitalization.

That statement concluded, “PLEASE GO GET VACCINATED!”

Have they said whether he tried to get the antibody infusion before he got too sick

Not that I've heard.

X2 of us. I will die, and I don’t want to do it suffocating behind a respirator. I will sign a DNR, and check out of the hospital screaming for prophylactic treatments like Ivermectin etc. They may control my life, but I can likely control how and where I die.

Treat him with HCQ, Zinc Sulfate or Ivermectin and he will recover in 2 days.

Sounds like he did early on but no luck. Read his previous social media posts.

Sounds like he took the vaccine and is now sick.

But go get vaxed.

I typically listen to his radio program daily. I got the impression from what he said that he did not take the shot(s). He did, however, according to the sub hosts, recommend several of them take the shots -- due to their ages, health status, etc.

I think he said 2 or even all 3 of his sons had COVID at some point in the last year or so. Those were months ago, so it would seem doubtful that he contracted from them.

@ 12 - those appear to be very effective in the first few days. Not so much late in the disease. May be why early studies only used people with advanced covid in studies to proclaim they are ineffective and promote an experimental treatment.

If he’s held stable for a prolonged period, that is hopeful. When my ‘rona pneumonia didn’t improve for the first two weeks, but didn’t worsen, the doctors took that as favorable.

Did you get placed on a ventilator? I know folks recover even after the ventilator, but that seems to be the kiss of death. I don’t know the survival rates once placed on one.

Not true.

It's been a big deal for him and his family re: vaccines. He did not get the vaccine and has been urging people to get them since being hospitalized - regrets having not done so himself.

No. I was on high volume oxygen at 100%, maximum flow. Next step would have been the ventilator. I was on the high-volume at max for more than a week, with no improvement. The doctors were encouraged.

Getting placed on a ventilator is bad. But being stable for a prolonged period is hopeful. The virus typically clears in a couple of weeks, and then it’s a matter of the body dealing with the aftermath. At least in my case.
