WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former South Florida talk show host Dick Farrel, known and beloved by fans for his over-the-top right-wing opinions, has died from complications from COVID-19.
On Facebook, Farrel advocated against getting the coronavirus vaccine and was skeptical of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and his recommendations concerning the coronavirus. Friends said after contracting the virus he changed his point of view.
"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!" said Farrel's close friend Amy Leigh Hair on her Facebook page. She told WPTV, "I was one of one 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."
Former Market General Manager for CBS Radio West Palm Beach, Lee Strasser, remembered Farrel, whom he hired in the 1990s. "Dick 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," he said. "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.”

And he was 77 years old...
RIP. I heard him as a guest on Bob Grant.
You want to try again?
>> What can you say.
You’re an ardent supporter of the vax?
no drug therapy?
Another 300 lb obese man who didn’t take care of himself. What was his vitamin D levels? This man was likely never given the info on early treatment with ivermectin, famotidine, fluvoxomine, and so much more.
Disgusting post. I can go toe to toe with cases of vaccinated people who get the virus and are given zero treatment. Except, they dont feel sorry for not getting the treatment because the gov’t made sure they dont know about it. This is happening all over the place and will increase in 2 months.
Are you an amateur, or a paid professional?
Out of respect to President Trump it’s the least we could do to show appreciation for him moving heaven and earth with DOD, pharmacy, DARPA etc with Operation Warpspeed as he’s said often, to get these deployed and out to the people more so quickly than incompetent Sleepy Joe could ever do.
If I were the treatment deniers and knew that the five dollar treatments were bunk, I'd kill two birds with one stone.
I'd let them have their treatments, then laugh at them while they died.
Weird that the quacks won't do that. It would prove that their opinions were godlike.
You are a zealot.
You're known on Free Republic for subtly undermining President Trump at every opportunity.
There you go again.
i see at least one certain preexisting condition, probably at least three
very overweight
probably diabetes issues
probably arterial/heart issues
I think it's cute that someone who's been here almost two weeks is offering opinions on the Class of 98.
77 years old.
I could be on here 20 years or 2 days, call it like I see it. Does sign up time really matter?
