Dick Farrel, a former right-wing radio host in Florida and anchor on Newsmax TV, died Wednesday of complications from Covid-19, NBC affiliate WPTV of West Palm Beach reported.
Farrel was a vocal and staunch advocate against the coronavirus vaccines, which he posted about on social media, once calling them “bogus.” He also railed against figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom he called a “lying freak.”
However, after he contracted Covid-19, friends said, Farrel’s attitude about the vaccines and the virus changed, WPTV reported.
“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!’” Amy Leigh Hair, a friend of Farrel’s, wrote on Facebook.
Someone dies and you rejoice? You are … how do I say it so you’ll understand? Special? Dude you are really messed up. If Fauci and friends wouldn’t have f’d with nature we would never even have this discussion and mass sickness.
Of the 8,787 people who have died in Texas due to COVID-19 since early February, at least 43 were fully vaccinated, the Texas Department of State Health Services said.
That means 99.5% of people who died due to COVID-19 in Texas from Feb. 8 to July 14 were unvaccinated, while 0.5% were the result of “breakthrough infections,” which DSHS defines as people who contracted the virus two weeks after being fully vaccinated.
The agency said nearly 75% of the 43 vaccinated people who died were fighting a serious underlying condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer or chronic lung disease.
Additionally, it said 95% of the 43 vaccinated people who died were 60 or older, and that a majority of them were white and a majority were men.
Polly, how do you know which agency to trust for accurate information about the c-19 deaths?
To me, a high percentage of people that passes is due to C-19. But in reality oak trees, pine trees seem to magically walk in front of cars.
Needles fill themselves with whatever they want to and magically stick themselves in to a person’s arm.
Cordless hole punchers,punch holes in people’s body.
I am not downplaying the deaths from C-19, but not every death is from it.
Well, I know of a 75,64, 57, and 54 year old that has died in the last 2 1/2 weeks from this Delta variant, all were unvaccinated.
In Florida, a whole lot worse, Texas too…….
“This delta variant is burning through the population,” said Jason Salemi, an epidemiologist at the University of South Florida who has tracked the state’s COVID data since the beginning of the pandemic. “It’s infecting a lot of people very, very rapidly.”
Salemi also attributes this dramatic increase in cases to high numbers of individuals in Florida not being protected through vaccination (around eight million who are eligible), relaxation of measures that lower the likelihood of transmissibility, the summer heat driving people indoors and tourists.
New cases increased almost eightfold during the month of July and have more than doubled in the past three weeks, according to a Herald analysis using seven-day rolling averages of daily Florida Department of Health (DOH) case data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC tracks more than 18 lineages of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States, with the delta variant making up more than 85% of samples the agency sequenced during the last two weeks of July. Variants may carry mutations that make a virus more contagious or cause more severe symptoms or that evade the effectiveness of therapies and vaccines.
“I am concerned that now with this much more infectious variant out there proliferating
Sooo much stuff flying around, no-one knows who to trust…
With that said, My coworkers wife seems to be turning the corner, as she was at deaths door. Her husband has been tore up for several days and regrets that his bride, as well as himself didn’t get the vaccine.
“ RBF aka Shunkey, Porch Dick, John Weaver, quite frankly you are full of schitt. In my opinion you are primarily to blame for the degradation of this particular fishing website. You dilute this place with your incessant desire to be relevant by posting constantly whatever cut and paste cartoon or quip you dig up only God knows where just to be "heard". It really must be miserable where you are, if not for you then for those around you.” EF 4/27/21
Haha, as usual you see only the mistake, but not the substance which is 783 children were hospitalized… Do some real math and you’ll see that there has been almost 14% of all cases of children admitted to the hospital since July 1st (just one month)… The mistake doesn’t make those children get better, but as usual the Drumpf Lemmings only care about themselves and regaining power…
Best part is they corrected it, and when was the last time Drumpf or his Lemmings ever admitted to making a mistake that was made public by the Dems, or really anyone?..

Haha, Rand Paul the eye doctor, and covid expert… Looks like we need to keep an eye on Rand Paul and his wife trying to profit from covid in which they couldn’t even do that right either…
That’s a winner. No doubt. Who do you trust when the story continuously changes. Biden tells us all Don’t take the vaccine because it is dangerous, now he tells us we are murderers if we don’t get it?! Fauci … mask, no mask, mask, no mask, two masks, no mask… Go to the supermarket, but don’t attend Church… on and on.
I’m torn, leaning closer to getting the “vaccine”. I’ve lost two friends last month that were vaccinated and died. An ex employees wife (a nurse) was vaccinated and has been on a ventilator for 3 weeks in ICU now sedated with doctors predicting the worse. Terrible stuff. 8 people out of work from covid at our little electric coop.
For me this new outbreak / stain has had many more close to home than the first go around. Why the Heck did Our President send so many untested Illegal aliens all over this country? Was he following Cuomo’s lead in the Nursing home fiasco? When he started mass shipping them out of Texas that seems to coincide with this latest surge in covid.
oh Bobby, Don’t you know you can get it weather vaccinated or not? The question is now will you come away from the infection quicker and easier? That’s the toss up. Don’t be so angry all the time. Life is growing short, be happy! Get off the porch and smile more. Life is good! Even if your man Biden has created a mass spreader event with all the illegals being untested and scattered across our land. I find it odd more people left, right and in the middle are not up in arms over this. Seems a good bi-partisan event to create some unity with. Don’t you think? He did promise to create unity and cure cancer. Trumps gone, let’s all get with the present and move forward, not backwards into another mass shutdown. Stop the surge of Illegals coming in our country and spreading corona and taxing our health care system!
Why is everything that comes out of your mouth so filled with hate, Fred. You cannot talk without spewing that garbage. All you pricks are like that. It’s just nonsense that a grown azz man acts the way you do. Can there be that many people with mental problems? Talk about a porch dick, and you’re the gnat flying around living on it. Show them you are nuts, Fred.
Bob, these scalawags keep telling you to get of the porch……dumbasses clearly aren’t viewing the Freshwater forum here! They are only spewing out opinions and right wing conspiracy Twitter feeds.
