PIERS MORGAN has spoken out as a radio host who doubted the Covid vaccine is on a ventilator after contracting the virus. US radio host, Phil Valentine, 61; is currently on a ventilator in intensive care after he contracted Covid earlier this month. Valentine had previously told listeners of his ‘The Phil Valentine Show’ which airs from Nashville, Tennessee; that the Covid vaccine was only necessary for those with underlying health issues. He said in a blog post in December: “I am not an anti-vaxxer. I am just using common sense. What are my odds of getting Covid? They are pretty low. What are my odds of dying from Covid if I do get it? Probably way less than one percent.

Phil Advice to Get Vacchinated:

“If you are not at high risk of dying from Covid then you are probably safer not getting it.” Piers Morgan has now spoken out about Valentine’s condition saying: “I pray he survives this and then goes back on his show to tell his listeners to get vaccinated.” Valentine’s brother Mark said in a Facebook post that the radio host regrets his comments about the vaccine. Mark said: “Phil would like for his listeners to know that while he has never been an ‘anti-vaxxer’ 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.”
