Phil Valentine, currently on a ventilator after contracting coronavirus, faces criticism for releasing the parody song "Vax Man" on June 20th, twenty days prior to his hospitalization. The speaker highlights the irony of Valentine's claim that he regrets not being more pro-vaccine while now requiring life support, questioning why he waited until recovery to advocate for shots. References to his band name "Heartthrobs," allegedly linked to his a-fib condition, underscore the tragic timing of this musical release. Ultimately, the segment exposes the dangerous disconnect between Valentine's public persona and his critical health status. [Automatically generated summary]
He's on breathing assistance but is not on a ventilator.
So yeah, that's changed.
He is on a ventilator now.
Phil would like for his listeners to know that while he has never been an, quote, anti-vaxxer, he regrets not being more vehemently pro-vaccine and looks forward...
To being able to more vigorously advocate that position as soon as he's back on the air, which we all hope will be so.
So you know he's dying.
Like, he's literally dying if his family's like, oh, he can't wait to be a pro-vaccine.
As soon as he can talk again, as soon as he doesn't have a tube down his throat, he's definitely gonna be pro-vaccine.
He's gonna have a whole special on how great the vaccine is.
Why don't they just give him the vaccine now?
The reason I like this Scoop Nashville article so much is because it provides a link to something that's very important.
Yes.
It says on June 20th, so a little over a month ago, and about, what, 20 days before he got the coronavirus, Phil Valentine, who was unvaccinated, released this parody song called Vax Man.
Which is a song parody of Taxman by the Beatles and it's credited to Phil Valentine and the heartthrobs.
I'm assuming those heartthrobs are related to his irregular heart rate and a-fib.
That's it, yeah.
Let's go ahead and listen to Phil Valentine and the Heartthrobs' song parody of Taxman by the Beatles, once again written and released 20 days before he became hospitalized with the coronavirus.
