An anti-vaccine right-wing radio host in West Palm Beach, Florida died Wednesday from COVID-19 complications.
Dick Farrel, 65, used his local talk show and social media to rail against Dr. Anthony Fauci, who he called a “power tripping lying freak,” and say that no one should get the coronavirus vaccine. When COVID-19 sent him to the hospital for three weeks, though, he changed his tune, urging friends to get vaccinated, friends told local station WPTV .
Farrel wrote in early July, “Vaccine Bogus Bull Shid!, Two peeps I know, got vaxed, now have Corona, hospitalized critical. Thank you Moderna, FOR NOTHING!” He erroneously told his followers they would not need the vaccine if they had already survived COVID-19. The CDC has advised former coronavirus patients to get vaccinated.

Two days later, he wrote, “Why take a vax promoted by people who lied 2u all along about masks.” He called Fauci “FOOT-chee” and said that the infectious disease expert and “power trip libb loons” Democrats were conspiring to make it seem like the pandemic was ongoing so they could grab more power.
In late June, he wrote, “So, u think it wasn’t a SCAM DEMIC? NOT ONE ELECTED DEMOCRAT ever tested positive.” He called masks “face diapers” and “face pantys.”
An ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, Farrel wrote often about baseless conspiracy theories of election fraud. In June, he penned a fearmongering post about liberals wanting to remove the American flag, writing, “Civil war beckons.”

Amy Leigh Hair, a close friend of Farrel, wrote on Facebook, “COVID took one of my best friends! RIP Dick Farrel. He is the reason I took the shot. He texted me and told me to ‘Get it!’ He told me this virus is no joke and he said, ‘I wish I had gotten it!’”
Hair later told WPTV, “I was one of the people like him who didn’t trust the vaccine. I trusted my immune system. I just became more afraid of getting COVID-19 than I was of any possible side effects of the vaccine. I’m glad I got vaccinated.”
The deep-voiced host, whose real name is Farrel Austin Levitt, also anchored for Newsmax after the radio station where he worked, WFLN, sold in 2016, according to friend and station owner George Kalman, who wrote Farrel’s obituary.
Farrel is one among several recent deaths of anti-vaccine advocates who have succumbed to COVID-19. Just this week, a Republican city councilman in Texas fought rapid and fatal bout with the virus that saw him hospitalized and dead within three days. He had used his position to advocate against vaccines and face masks.

Anti-Vax Radio Host Who Called Fauci A ‘Power Tripping Lying Freak’ Dies Of COVID
No, that would be The Turd Reich who is a power tripping lying freak.
gee, that's a real bummer ...
I'm so all torn up about it . . . . .
"Farrel is one among several recent deaths of anti-vaccine advocates who have succumbed to COVID-19.

I don't wish death on anyone but these scumbags with their ignorance and denial - are causing others to die.
It will only take a few more of them to hit critical and/or die for many of the rest to rethink their ideals. Some never will. What's going to be so heartbreaking is seeing more and more children die, since many of them can't yet get immunized. Start packing them in schools without masks and vaccines and it's incubation utopia for viruses.
Yet so many ignorant morons are calling for kids NOT TO MASK.
It's insane.
Our braindead Governor in Florida issued a EO to stop any masking mandates in Florida schools. We are at record levels of kids with Covid and also the number hospitalized.
Of course, we also have our braindead members that are in full agreement with DeSantis and currently have an article posted on kids shouldn't wear masks.
As long as it's someone else's kids that gets it, it no big deal to them.
A federal judge just ruled in favor of Norweigan Cruise Lines in their fight with DeSantis.
DeSantis issued an order that cruise lines cannot mandate that vaccines are required on their ships. (the irony of that order is stunning). Norweigan Cruise Lines sued the state of Florida and won, this will probably end up in federal appeals court, but in addition to Norweigan Cruise Lines, many other cruise lines have made it very difficult for non-vaccined to be part of their cruise.
FL may ultimately win the school issue, but I don't think they can win the cruise ship case.
If morons like this all died off tomorrow, not one tear I would shed.
Same here Paula.
I hate to speak ill of the dead, but reading this article it sounds like he was literally a moron.
I don't. He was a literal moron just like his hero, trumpturd, The Turd Reich.
Karma
Cue Another One Bites The Dust.
Yeah but after he caught the virus he changed his attitude about the vaccine, so he’s a good guy right?
