A few weeks ago, longtime south Florida conservative radio host Dick Farrel posted to Facebook:
"Why take a vax promoted by people who lied 2u all along about masks?"
In another post, Farrel said:
(June 27) "so you wanna take the Poison Pfizer and Moderna and J&J are peddling? have all you want. I know I don't need it nor ever Will....."[sic]
Another post:
(July 5) "why can't lib morons get it thru their pointy head? Cleve Clinic sed 'U need no vax once you survived getting covid!!' folo the sci" [sic]
Another:
(July 5) "remember only dim wit elected dummy craps violated covid restrictions, Not A single one got it"
Farrel, a former Newsmax host and a staunch Trump and DeSantis supporter, was opposed to masks, social distancing, any form of pandemic mitigation and *especially* vaccines.
He said COVID was a hoax, no worse than the flu, and only a way for government to control you.
Dick Farrel died yesterday, from COVID.
He reportedly spent his last few hours of consciousness texting his friends and family, urging them to get vaccinated.
Don't be a Dick, get the jab.

‘John Wick’s Keanu Reeves, Chad Stahelski, Ian McShane & Lionsgate Mourn “Consummate Professional” Lance Reddick: “A Joy To Work With” – Update
A week ahead of John Wick: Chapter Four hitting theaters, star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski are mourning the loss of their co-star Lance Reddick, who died today at 60.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick,” the pair said in a statement. “He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with. Our love and prayers are with his wife Stephanie, his children, family and friends. We dedicate the film to his loving memory. We will miss him dearly.”
Ian McShane, who plays Winston in the films, said: “Total shock and disbelief. Lance was a wonderful human being and a wonderful colleague. My deepest condolences, peace and love to his wife, Stephanie, and all his family.”
Lionsgate, the studio behind the action franchise, said in a statement today:
“The world of Wick would not be what it is without Lance Reddick and the unparalleled depth he brought to Charon’s humanity and unflappable charisma. Lance leaves behind an indelible legacy and hugely impressive body of work, but we will remember him as our lovely, joyful friend and Concierge. We’re stunned and heartbroken, and our deepest condolences go to his beloved family and his fans all around the world.”
Reddick played Continental Hotel concierge and Wick collaborator Charon in all four John Wick movies and its 2019 video game. His long list of credits also includes series-regular roles on The Wire, Fringe, Bosch and Corporate, along with dozens of TV guest spots and movies including Godzilla vs. Kong, One Night in Miami, Sylvie’s Love, Faith Based and Angel Has Fallen.
