Dennis Prager RWNJ Radio Personality Announces He Has COVID After Hugging 'Thousands' to Get It

[UpInArms]

Right-wing personality and talk radio host Dennis Prager, who once “proved” COVID was nothing to worry about by describing his habit of eating with dirty utensils in restaurants, has now contracted COVID.

But, this wasn’t a bad thing, Prager insisted. In fact, getting sick with the virus was his plan all along, he announced Monday during his show, which streams daily on YouTube.

“It is infinitely preferable to have natural immunity than vaccine immunity and that is what I have hoped for the entire time,” Prager told listeners from his home, where he is quarantining. “Hence... I have engaged with strangers, constantly hugging them, taking photos with them knowing that I was making myself very susceptible to getting COVID… [It is] what I wanted, in the hope I would achieve natural immunity and be taken care of by therapeutics. That is exactly what has happened.”

Prager, who became an outspoken Trump supporter after at first being critical of the ex-president, said he tested positive last week, which was why he didn’t do his show on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. He described having “a great deal of chills,” but that he is “steadily improving” and has not required hospitalization thus far. He has received a course of Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment and told his audience that he has been following the “Zelenko Protocol,” an ineffectual combination of prescription drugs popular with the far right but not meant to treat COVID, and is now also taking ivermectin, an unapproved medication that is used in animals and humans to treat infections caused by parasitic worms and certain skin conditions, but again, not COVID.

1. I wish him a slow miserable recovery

[Paladin]

8. You're being too kind. (nt)

[Hortensis]

13. Same here. According to him, this is his sixth symptomatic day so far.

[Botany]

2. "It is infinitely preferable to have natural immunity than vaccine immunity."

No it is not! This is the new right wing talking point and it is complete bullshit.

God I hope Prager was too late with his monoclonal antibody treatments. The man is spreading lies,
the virus, the disease, and deaths. If natural immunity was and is so good why do we have
something like 1 million* dead Americans?

* I think this is the real # because God only knows the # of Americans who died of C-19
but were not diagnosis with the disease.

3. Bull Shit! No one who "wanted to get it" took nearly two years to catch it.

He's scared just like everyone else who didn't want to get it.

[Siwsan]

4. If catching it is a good thing, then why is he quarantining when he could 'gift' it to his friends?

of course.

[bullwinkle428]

5. So he wouldn't allow that "awful vaccine" into his body, but is now more

than happy to receive the Regeneron monoclonal antibody treatment. Wonderful.

[niyad]

6. May he receive everything he deserves.

[Zambero]

7. His next move should be to visit a rabid critter petting zoo

Once infected, the "natural immunity" will come in handy whenever the odd dog bite comes along.

9. Wait, is that the guy with the cult/'university' named after him?

[underpants]

10. Yes. As seen on the Facebook

Total bullshit posing as intellectual discussion

[marble falls]

11. On his tombstone: Came this close to "natural immunity!"

14. Wait. So he is relying on "natural immunity"

So why the Regeneron?

[LisaL]

15. Exactly.

Doesn't he have an immune system?

[Crunchy Frog]

16. I'm not sure how much natural immunity you get when you let artificial antibodies

do most of the work of fighting off the virus, and your own immune system doesn't have to do much work. That would be an interesting question for researcher to look at.

I'm guessing with the monoclonal antibodies, he's not going to die from it.
