Cardinal Raymond Burke, a former archbishop of St Louis, USA, who was hospitalised after contracting Covid-19, is now off a ventilator and has been moved out of intensive care into a regular hospital room. Burke, 73, one of Pope Francis’ loudest critics, is a former Vatican official who has expressed scepticism about the need for distancing measures to contain the coronavirus. He has also opposed mandatory vaccination schemes. Burke has said the virus ‘has been used by certain forces, inimical to families and to the freedom of nations, to advance their evil agenda.’
