The family of a conservative radio host Phil Valentine, who is now hospitalized in a Tennessee critical care unit with COVID-19, issued a statement on his behalf Friday, expressing his regret over the vaccine skepticism that he has shared with his listeners over many months. They ended their statement with an all-caps plea to Valentine’s listeners: “PLEASE GO GET VACCINATED!” Valentine is the most recent in a string of conservative media personalities to embrace the COVID vaccine after months of public skepticism.
