Howard Stern said that unvaccinated people should be turned away from hospitals and sent to “go home and die” during Wednesday’s episode of his Sirius XM radio show.
Stern was talking to a caller named Aaron who suggested that perhaps the virus should be allowed to run rampant and “move through the unvaccinated.”

“What would you think about just letting the pandemic run wild and move through the unvaccinated?” the caller asked.
“If it was up to me, anyone unvaccinated would not be admitted to a hospital,” Stern said.
The caller added that hospitals should “send them home with a bottle of Robitussin.”
Stern continued to express his contempt for people who “don’t trust our government. They think that there’s some conspiracy to turn them into a magnet or something like this. They think they are going to become magnetized if they take the vaccine.”
“I’ve taken this vaccine three times and the worst side effect is for a day, I had a little bit of a headache,” Stern said.
The shock-jock and the caller went on to discuss how getting vaccinated is your “civic duty.”
“No one’s sitting there conspiring against you. Americans don’t want to create a vaccine that’s going to turn you into a robot, or magnetize you. There’s enough Americans now have taken it. Look at us as a sampling where nothing has happened to us. It’s time for you to get it,” the radio personality continued.
Things continued down the dark path until Stern concluded, “Now if you don’t get it, in my America, all hospitals would be closed to you. You’re going to go home and die.”

Mediaite notes that “Stern has been a vocal critic of the unvaccinated, particularly public figures, even mocking conservative radio hosts who died of the disease after opposing vaccine mandates.”
