The American radio host, known for his attitude against vaccines, Dick Farrell, died of coronavirus. Before his death, he changed his mind and called on his friends to get vaccinated, reports WPTV in Florida.
Farrell was the host of the federal television network Newsmax, and then began working in radio in West Palm Beach. For a long time, he ran programs in which he criticized medical regulators and vaccines. In particular, the journalist called Anthony Foci, the country’s chief infectious disease specialist, “a mad liar mad with power” and called the vaccines a “scam.”
Farrell claimed that the coronavirus was a democratic fabrication aimed at misleading Republicans, glasnews.bg writes.
Three weeks ago, the radio host was hospitalized with a coronavirus, where he suddenly changed his mind.
Farrell’s friend Lee Hare wrote on Facebook that after Farrell’s death he decided to get vaccinated against COVID.
“Because of him, I was immunized. He sent me an SMS and told me that I should be vaccinated. He told me that the virus was not a joke, and added that he himself should have been vaccinated,” he wrote.
Earlier, it was reported that a sharp increase in coronavirus deaths was predicted in the United States.
