Far right extremist commentator Josh Bernstein, an anti-vaxxer who recently contracted COVID after threatening a “lead injection” for anyone who tried to vaccinate him, appears to have issued an obscenity-laden death threat against Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President.
“Let me tell you something, you sick and twisted garden gnome,” Bernstein said, addressing Fauci. “Our rights don’t come from you. They don’t come from the NIH, they don’t come from the Center for Disinformation Control, they don’t come from the Wuhan health organization, and they certainly don’t come from this fraudulent, extremist, authoritarian regime government either.”
“They come from God, that’s where they come from,” he declared. “And not you, or any government or any intel person or agency is gonna do anything about it.”
“You know, I’ve always said Patrick Henry had it half right: ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ Bullshit. Give me liberty or give you death. That’s right. Signed, sealed and fucking delivered. So all I got to say about that. Tread lightly.”
Bernstein fell ill to COVID last month.
“I literally have zero flu-like symptoms. I’m not coughing. I’m not sneezing. I don’t have a headache. I don’t have a fever. I don’t have chills. I don’t have anything. The only thing I have is an absolutely unbearable, lethargic, tired feeling,” Bernstein said.
✱Bernstein “treated” himself with Ivermectin, and a cocktail of vitamins.
✱At the time he asks viewers to pray for him.
✱Earlier this year, he told listeners not to get vaccinated.
✱He said to stop wearing face masks and get fresh air.
✱Said, “I’m not getting an injection, I’m not getting microchip. And if anybody tries to do it to me” they’ll get a lead injection.
Bernstein would have been one of several unvaccinated conservative talk show hosts who contracted the virus after criticizing inoculation efforts.
Since August, at least five have died from COVID-19. Dick Farrel, Phil Valentine, Marc Bernier, Jimmy DeYoung and Bob Enyart have all died after contracting the virus.
