The SuperTalk 99.7 WTN's family said he was in a 'very serious condition' and planned to 'vigorously advocate' for COVID vaccines if he recovered.
Phil Valentine, who hosts an eponymous show on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, planned to"more vigorously advocate" for COVID vaccines when he recovered, the statement said.
"Phil would like for his listeners to know that while he has never been an 'anti-vaxer' he regrets not being more vehemently 'Pro-Vaccine,'" the statement read. It went on:"Please continue to pray for his recovery and PLEASE GO GET VACCINATED!"He wrote:"Many of you know that my brother Phil is in the hospital with Covid related pneumonia. He is fighting for his life, which has persuaded me to get vaccinated when I was previously not inclined to do so.
Mark Valentine said he had not previously posted pro or anti-vaccine content online, believing it should be a personal choice, but said:"Having seen this up close and personal I'd encourage ALL of you to put politics and other concerns aside and get it." He went on:"what Phil is going through is horrible & something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Get the vaccine folks...we need all of you to be here for the 2022 elections!"
The host revealed he had COVID on social media on July 12, writing:"Yes, the rumors are true. I have COVID. Unfortunately for the haters out there, it looks like I'm going to make it. Interesting experience. I'll have to fill you in when I come back on the air. I'm hoping that will be tomorrow, but I may take a day off just as a precaution. It'll be a game time decision."
