Bret Weinstein was filling in for two of Tucker's fellow talking heads who have gone off the air permanently in consequence of taking their own anti-vax advice:
Marc Bernier, a late Daytona, Florida, talk radio host who dubbed himself “Mr. Anti-Vax” in December while assuring his listeners “I’m not taking it.” True to his word, Bernier contracted COVID-19 roughly three weeks ago and his death was announced over the weekend by his radio station–
Ditto Newsmax talker Dick Farrel , who died from COVID-19 on August 4th, after spending the last weeks of his life claiming that the vaccine is “Bogus Bull [Shit],” referring to the pandemic as a “SCAM DEMIC,” and suggesting that the delta variant is an elaborate ruse orchestrated by Anthony Fauci .
“Why take a vax promoted by people who lied [to you] all along about masks, where the virus came from and the death toll?” he wrote in a July 3 Facebook post.
Contracting the virus changed Farrel's mind. Shortly before dying he urged his close friend Amy Leigh Hair to get the shot, saying COVID “is no joke" and ‘I wish I had gotten it!’”
