Posts by his family on social media confirm that CUMULUS News-Talk WWTN (SUPER TALK 99.7 WTN)/NASHVILLE afternoon host PHIL VALENTINE is in the hospital "fighting for his life" after contracting COVID-19.
VALENTINE had voiced skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine on the air and opposed government efforts urging the public to get vaccinated, touting Vitamin D; he initially posted on JULY 11th that he had contracted COVID but "unfortunately for the haters out there, it looks like I'm going to make it." The statement from his family confirmed that he was hospitalized and "is in very serious condition, suffering from COVID Pneumonia and the attendant side effects... breathing with assistance but... NOT on a ventilator." They added that "while he has never been an 'anti-vaxer' he regrets not being more vehemently 'Pro-Vaccine.'"
