RIGHT WING EXTREMISM
‘Brutal’: Far Right Commentator Who Threatened ‘Lead Injection’ for Anyone Trying to Vaccinate Him Contracts COVID

Far right wing commentator Josh Bernstein, who once appeared to threaten to shoot anyone trying to give him a coronavirus vaccine, has contracted COVID-19 and he’s calling it “brutal” and “unbearable.”
“Resist the vaccine at all costs,” Bernstein told his audience back in April. “Resist microchips, stop wearing facemasks, go outside. breathe in some fresh air, get some exercise, eat right, get your sleep, all that good stuff, enjoy your life. And let me worry about the government and everybody else trying to destroy your freedoms,” he said. “I’m not getting an injection, I’m not getting microchip. And if anybody tries to do it to me or I’m sure, millions of Americans out there, guess what, they’re going to get a lead injection instead.”

In 2019 Bernstein calls for all Democrats to be “sterilized,” according to Right Wing Watch.
Comparing Democratic lawmakers to Nazis, Bernstein called them “the types of people that Americans fought against in World War II.”
“These are the ones who should be sterilized so we can start over,” he said. “It’s absolutely sickening who these people are, what they represent, how little they care about this country. They are nothing but a bunch of degenerates.”
On Monday Right Wing Watch reported Bernstein says he contracted COVID.
“This thing is brutal,” he told his audience from his bedroom quarantine.”It’s not the flu,” he added, saying he has “zero” symptoms at all – except he has “an absolutely unbearable, tired feeling.”
We can now add Josh Bernstein to the ever-growing list of right-wing anti-vaccine activists who have contracted COVID. https://t.co/Jv5APtsVDT pic.twitter.com/khK8o8m1Sh
