Bob Enyart and his wife Cheryl both had refused to get the coronavirus vaccine citing that Covid-19 vaccines rely on 'cells of aborted babies'

A conservative radio host and pastor, who openly opposed mask mandates and vaccines, has died of Covid. According to a Facebook post by his co-host, Fred Williams, pastor of the Denver Bible Church, Enyart died Monday, September 13. Enyart was 62 years old.

Bob Enyart's 'Real Science Radio Show' website rallied against what it called the "imagined" burden of Covid-19 cases on hospitals. Instead, Enyart emphasized treating the virus by following the Bible, and blamed "fake news" outlets for exaggerating the severity of the virus. Enyart and his wife Cheryl both had refused to get the coronavirus vaccine citing that Covid-19 vaccines rely on "cells of aborted babies". Enyart also successfully sued the state to shut down capacity limits and stop mask mandates in churches.

Fred Williams' now-deleted post on Facebook read, "It comes with an extremely heavy heart that my close friend and co-host of Real Science Radio has lost his battle with Covid." He added, "Heaven’s gain has left an enormous hole here on earth. Bob’s enduring legacy will live on with the treasure trove he leaves behind." Williams also noted that Enyart was the "smartest" and "wisest person" that he had known. Reportedly, Enyart, on his radio show alleged that scientists tested the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson vaccines on "the cells of aborted babies". According to a 1999 Westward profile, Enyart, on his old TV show, 'Bob Enyart Live', would "gleefully read obituaries of AIDS sufferers while cranking ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ by Queen". 

'Bob Enyart unshockingly passed away'

Bob Enyart's demise sparked reactions on Twitter as people remembered his statements on Covid mandates. One person tweeted, "Conservative firebrand Bob Enyart, sued the state over mask mandates & limits in churches. On his old TV show, he would “gleefully read obituaries of AIDS sufferers while cranking ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ by Queen. He’s the 5th conservative radio host to die from the hoax." Another said, "Right wing TV and radio talk show host Bob Enyart has just died of covid. Enyart called for the death penalty for women who get abortions, mocked AIDS victims, and called for vaccine boycotts." One tweet read, "Conservative radio host Bob Enyart, who spread vaccine conspiracies, and who mocked HIV/AIDS deceased by reading their obituaries while playing the song "Another One Bites the Dust” has unshockingly passed away of Covid-19. I give cobras, coffee and condolences." Another user wrote, "Republicans are upset liberals are mocking Anti-Vax deaths He used to read lists of dead AIDS patients names while Queen’s Another One Bites The Dust played Republicans weren’t upset then"
