A radio host who called himself “Mr. Anti-Vax” passed away after contracting the deadly coronavirus.
The radio host, who is from Florida, USA, criticized the coronavirus vaccination efforts.
The news was confirmed by his radio station.
The statement from the radio station said:
It’s with great sadness that WNDB and Southern Stone Communications announce the passing of Marc Bernier, who informed and entertained listeners on WNDB for over 30 years. We kindly ask that privacy is given to Marc’s family during this time of grief.
3 weeks ago, Marc Bernier was reportedly hospitalized and tested positive for the coronavirus.
WNDB operations manager Mark McKinney told local media:
If you’ve listened to his show, you’ve heard him talk about how anti-vaccine he is on the air.
In December last year, Bernier said that he is not taking the vaccine.
The Volusia county sheriff, Mike Chitwood, said the station told him Bernier, 65, died on Saturday night this month.
Bernier worked as a broadcast journalist for 46 years.
He presented a conservative viewpoint and has been fair to the liberals.
According to official reports by Johns Hopkins University, around 637,000 people have died of Covid-19 in the US.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bernier and all families that have been affected by the coronavirus, may their souls rest in peace.
