A repentant anti-vax activist is reportedly urging people to get vaccinated after a 'fan' of his died of COVID-19
Bacco described anti-vax leaders, including himself, as "bastards" who should be held accountable.
Pasquale Ba cco spoke at around 300 anti-vaccine protests in Italy, Newsweek reported, and had thousands of followers opposed to getting shots.
But after one died of COVID-19, he told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Messogiorno that he became racked with guilt.
Now, a repentant Bacco is vaccinated and is urging his followers to do the same.
Bacco told Corriere della Messogiorno that the death of a 29-year-old follower deeply impacted him.
"The family told me that he was a fan of mine," Bacco said. "They didn't tell me with anger, on the contrary, and this hurt me even more."

Bacco said he was, in part, motivated by the financial incentive of building a brand as a prominent anti-vaxxer.
The doctor told Corriere della Messogiorno that his private business increased a "thousandfold," and he could charge patients whatever he liked.
