Atlanta talk radio host Erick Erickson lashed out against opponents of the COVID-19 vaccine on one of his shows last week by calling them “idiots” after a member of his family died of the virus.
“What I care deeply about though is that some of you are scared of getting [the vaccine] because you’ve heard people on the internet lie to you and you don’t know that they’re lying,” he said.
Erickson directed much of his anger at anti-vaccination activists who shut down a Georgia clinic last week.
Erickson said he didn’t care if people wanted the vaccine or not. “But if you’re out there spreading lies and misinformation and disinformation and willfully undermining people’s trust with a vaccine, I care about that a great deal.”
The Erick Erickson Show is broadcast on 95.5 FM WSB weekdays 12 – 3 p.m.
