Sorry, can’t find any better sources for this.

The animator then asked Maher what the “downside” of “getting a vaccine” was, which caused the comedian to go on an anti-vax tirade.

“The fact that you the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, all vaccines,” he ranted. “They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does. You can see it in the literature. They can’t write it on their back on the vaccine. So you have to dig them. And of course, there is a vaccine court because so many people have been injured.”

    The US media allows charlatans and grifters to rise to the top. Worse, their nonsense gets translated into Arabic and spread by our idiots.

    Good thing I live in a country with mandatory vaccination.

      I feel that. Recently YouTube has been recommending me videos from the “manosphere” and tons of Arabic and Cyrilic commentators talking pretty harshly about women. Feels like slipping backwards in time.

      The cultural divides are getting a little thinner online these days.

      I would hardly say Bill Maher is at the top of society. He may have a lot of money but he doesn’t much more say on how the country is run than any other American. He doesn’t have lobbying money. Also anyone getting mopped the floor with by Family Guy funny man isn’t exactly someone people look to for political views and discussion.
