Despite being thoroughly vaccinated, Stern recently revealed his contraction of the virus, leaving him utterly bewildered. Puzzlingly, he expressed confusion about the source of his infection, given his extreme adherence to precautions. Stern disclosed that he ventured out of his home only once since 2020 for a public dining experience.
From Outkick:
Stern recently discussed an argument with his wife, Beth. It was over her decision to leave the house, increasing the chances she could bring Covid back to his secluded residence.
“Beth has a bunch of plans. She has like a wedding shower to go to and lunch to go to with a friend and a dinner and a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah — but I can’t get Covid,” he explained.
Bill Maher recently admitted that while he and Stern are friends, Stern refuses to see him in person these days.
“I don’t think I’ll ever see Howard again because I don’t think he’ll ever leave the house because he’s what? No, you know, he’s very, very — look, I don’t want to judge it, but he’s scared of germs,” said Maher.
Howard says the virus could “kill” him.
“It is not just a cold for me,” he claims.”It’ll probably be way worse. It could kill me.”
But after four years, Howard Stern finally tested positive for Covid-19.
“See if we can get through this show. We were supposed to be back last week. We weren’t,” Stern told listeners on Monday. “I got Covid.”
The irrational fear exhibited and endorsed by Stern epitomizes the larger issue with the prevailing COVID culture in our country. There's truly no justification for such heightened anxiety regarding an illness with a remarkably high recovery rate.
Attempting to convey this perspective to individuals entrenched in this belief system proves challenging, given their deep indoctrination into these unfounded fears.
