Former Florida talk show host Dick Farrel passed away from COVID last week and he’s getting bashed online because of his views against the vaccine. He was hospitalized with the virus three weeks ago. Farrel was 65.
A close friend of Farrel’s, who provided us this picture of the conservative talker, told Radio Ink Farrel was one of her best friends and he was the reason she took the COVID-19 vaccination shot. Amy Leigh Heir says Farrel texted her and told her to get the shot and that the virus was no joke. He also told her he wished he had gotten the shot himself.
One social media post states that Farrel called Dr. Anthony Fauci a “power-tripping lying freak” and urged people not to get vaccinated as recently as June. Yahoo! Entertainment’s headline on Farrel’s death called him an “Anti-Vax Radio Host.”
Former CBS West Palm Beach Market Manager Lee Strasser hired Farrel in the 1990’s. He told WPTV the former South Florida host was flamboyant, outrageous at times, and willing to take on any and all comers. “He loved to engage with local politicians and pulled no punches. “Was he right all the time? No… But he was “RIGHT” all the time, especially if you asked him. Did he stay out of trouble? Not always. Was he great with clients? Yes. Was he a pleasure in the building? Absolutely. Was he loyal? Unquestionably! Was he skilled? Yessir! His passing is a big loss. He was a kind-hearted person with a load of passion, and his memory will stand the test of time. We have all lost a friend in Farrel.”
Hubbard Radio Creative Director Mick McCabe told WPTV, “Dick was a pioneer ‘shock talk’ host, certainly here in South Florida, and a loyal friend both personally and to listeners here for decades.”
In addition to working in radio Farrel also worked with Newsmax.
As this rubes death shows, our real problem has never been that the Reality Show Con Artist is an easy to spot liar, grifter, coward, fraud and corrupt unfit incompetent Russian dupe.
It is that nearly half this country is either too stupid, too lazy and/or too biased they are okay with it.
He is just the pus that denotes their infection to this country and unfortunately there is no vaccine to stop their pestilence.
I will not rejoice at this science denying rubes death.
It pains me too much that we have so many barely sentient people in this country in the first place.
Make no mistake – these rubes are our Titanic; they will take us all down with them.
I’m grieved to hear of the passing away of Dick Farrel or anyone who purportedly dies of Covid-19. A legitimate question is, was he truly the victim of Covid-19? Or rather of current medical protocols and inappropriate drugs? Before accepting that anyone has died of Covid, I respectfully ask to review all medical records, the drug protocols used, and what treatments were refused, such as Ivermectin, zinc and vitamin D3.
How many readers are aware that SARS-CoV-2, commonly referred to as Covid-19, may never have been properly isolated in a laboratory, according to strict scientific definitions and standards of “isolation” (Koch’s Postulates)? Thus, Covid-19 may not even exist. https://www.bitchute.com/video/eOGvhrGTVq6N/
Preposterous? Historically, medical science and their cousin, Big Pharma, have an abysmal truth and safety record.
If this virus has never been properly isolated, a difficult if not impossible task, then all Covid tests are also suspect, and Covid-19 could be the greatest hoax in scientific history. The perpetrators will eventually face justice. Famous German-American attorney Dr. Reiner Müllmich (of the diesel-gate scandal) continues to collect exhibits for a coming worldwide class action suit.

If media where to do their job and accurately report these facts, the political narrative would cease to be relevant. Anyone who censors or labels this a “conspiracy theory” demonstrates ignorance and becomes party to the plot.
Mr Myers, with all due respect, SARS CoV-2 has indeed been isolated in viable form from multiple labs and from patients suffering from similar disease states (many thousands of times over, in fact). It has also been inoculated into animal models to replicate a similar disease as seen in humans. It, therefore, fulfills the requirements for Koch’s postulates as the causative agent for COVID-19. The greatest hoax in history is the fraud perpetuated (and unfortunately believed by many) that this virus does not exist. If one denies this, it means they are subscribing to an alleged massive fraud and conspiracy that encompasses collusions with many countries, many hospitals and many laboratories and thousands of scientists and competing government agencies – all conspiring seamlessly to pull it off. I just don’t buy it – not because I am not a skeptic but precisely because I am. This would have to be the grandest and most elaborate conspiracy ever perpetrated on anyone – it would also necessarily deny peer-reviewed science that has published hundreds of papers on the subject. More tragically, it would deny the millions of people, and their families, who have died from the diseaswe. Flat-earthers, moon-landing deniers, now COVID-19 deniers – they are all one in the same. Paranoia – self-destroyer.
There is one common flaw with all of the criticism against anti-vaxxers whomever they are. We still have this thing called freedom of choice in America. If you want to take the jab that is your right. If you don’t that is also your right. If the issue were solely a virus, that would be different. However, people who are bashing this unfortunate fellow for his views are simultaneously slamming anyone who won’t agree with theirs. We never saw this attitude with Ebola, SARS, H1N1, and the common flu. What it really is, is political. Many believe that the government of today in America has your interests at heart. Take a look at Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and many others. The playbook is in use here now.
You are starting false claims. Absolutely no one here is attacking freedom of choice. And no one is attacking Farrel. People like you are making this political, by distorting the facts and exacerbating this pandemic. And costing lives.
What we ARE saying… is that conservative talk radio is undermining the medical credibility of vaccines, and irresponsibly turning a MEDICAL SCIENCE based pandemic crisis, into a political matter. That’s it. And consequently, some misinformed people are dying.
If you choose to ignore that reality, that is on you. If you choose to exercise your rights and not take the vaccine, science has proven that you are then endangering the lives of others as well as yourself.
But certainly, it’s your right to act responsibly, or not.
The reason we never saw this with Ebola, SARS1, BirdFLu or any other infectious disease is due to our government following proper protocols. DJT purposefully and intentionally allowed this to rage through this country. He’d gutted the CDC’s manpower & slashed it’s funding 75% at least a yr prior to this pandemic. This is what a malignant narcissistic sociopath with sadistic tendencies does. Pres. GW Bush listened to Fauci, et al. & was so alarmed he set in motion funding to develop a pandemic emergency response team. Obama continued following what Bush set up. However, stupid 45 was so narcissistic & jealous of 44, that he undid anything and everything Obama was doing. To the tune of 610K+ deaths because a weak minded sociopath couldn’t rise about his defects & stay with the program. I’m so sorry you’ve been hoodwinked into believing these so-called Republicans are trying to save us. They are not. I was a Republican, no more. They’ve been compromised. The GOP is using dark money from many sources including Russia and it’s mob. We are looking at a collapse of a democratic republic right before our very eyes.
Lee Strasser; “Was he skilled? Yessir.” Apparently not skilled at dropping the always “right” attitude of his program in deference to science and a proven killer. There should be a reckoning for station owners and hosts on this account – willingly pushing false and dangerous narratives that dupe feeble minded people. Shameful.
Dick Farrel’s passing may save a few lives as his anti-vax rants leave the airwaves. Instead of fanning his political “white privilege” listeners Farrel could have acted as a responsible radio broadcaster and separated politics from science.
Instead, he chose to follow the path of Florida’s nutcase governor DeSantis who cares little about science.
Is this responsible and professional broadcasting?
The only science getting traction these days IS politicized. BTW, is responsible broadcasting to merely take government press releases and air them uncritically? Do you believe everything authority tells you? It’s a serious question.
Bill,
Absolutely not. Every place I’ve worked handouts are only the starting point and have to be verified as they all have an agenda.
Regarding science and covid there is more than enough evidence from multiple government and civilians sources stating that mitigating (masking) and vaccination are the way out of the pandemic.
It gets political when a group claims “freedom of privilege” thus putting the larger group of those vax’d and masked at risk. (Also a science fact)
Where are you getting your nonsense info from? Scientific and medical studies are very well controlled. You need to read them to see how the controls are used to ensure their premise is true. Heck, politicians haven’t a clue about science or medicine. Hence, DJT, Cruz, Hawley or DeathSantis have no biz setting rules or laws when it comes to our public wellbeing or health. I am hopeful to join a class-action med-mal lawsuit to stop the evil men from continuing their intentional culling. They should be held accountable for practicing medicine without a license. There’s no such thing as Free Speech when you’re giving advice as a well informed leader. May all the men & women who’ve purposefully caused our country to suffer now and most definitely into the next many decades be servely punished if not imprisoned.
When will right wingers finally stop politicizing medical science? Most of the right wing talk show hosts on Salem stations, on Audacy stations, iHeart stations, and others – with their ranting about “rights” and undermining the credibility of vaccines – are in effect killing people.
How reprehensibly irresponsible, and all for money and to keep audience. This is immoral, from allegedly “moral” on-air talent and their station owners. Some even purport to be Christian. That’s sadly, laughable in this instance.
This is not about “rights” or inflammatory comments like “government control.”
This is about MEDICAL SCIENCE… and a NON-POLITICAL virus. A virus that sadly, is killing right wingers, left wingers, moderates…everyone. Because the virus doesn’t care about your politics. Trump…Biden… the virus knows no difference.
A generational tragedy. Some of the lives could have been spared — had they got the vaccine. Or not listened to right wing talk radio.
