Anti-Vax Radio Host Who Got COVID at QAnon-Friendly Conference Dies

[Zorro]

Douglas Kuzma contracted the coronavirus at a Texas conference that right-wingers had claimed was the victim of an anthrax attack.

Far-right podcast host Douglas Kuzma—who was an outspoken critic of the COVID-19 vaccine—has died while battling the coronavirus, which he contracted after attending a QAnon-friendly gathering in Texas that right-wingers baselessly claimed was the victim of an anthrax attack.

“I really loved him and I would do anything for him,” Amanda Kuzma told The Daily Beast on Thursday morning while confirming her father’s death earlier this week. “He was a great father.”

Kuzma, who hosted a program on the far-right “Frog News Network” and called his listeners “froganites,” had come down with COVID-19 after attending the right-wing “ReAwaken America Tour” gathering held in Texas in mid-December. Friends of Kuzma told The Daily Beast that Kuzma had fallen ill following the event and was later admitted to the hospital, causing many of his loyal allies to lose touch with him.

The news initially kicked off with pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood posting to Telegram in later December that Kuzma had “taken a turn for the worse” as his lungs aren’t responding to treatment. “Doug is suffering from Covid after returning from a recent patriot conference. Anna [a friend of Kuzma] informs me that Doug has taken a turn for the worse,” Wood wrote. “His lungs are not responding to treatment.”

10. Anthrax poisoning

Another conspiracy theory to discount the reality of Covid, it's devastating effects on the human body.

Another unnecessary death.

I read the reddit OP yesterday by the ICU nurse caring for the 'walking dead man', Bob. You can't help but react with horror and heartbreak.

But still. Another unnecessary death because of denial. Simple medical facts: this virus can kill you; this virus has killed 830,000+ Americans citizens.

Time to wake up from the conspiracy stupor.
