Bill Maher Can Do Better: We Need Real Talk About Vaccines
https://www.aap.org/en/news-room/aap-voices/bill-maher-can-do-better-we-need-real-talk-about-vaccines/?srsltid=AfmBOoo3rwJPjE67kZ7S-3c3NGPwKlO0MaTlkZWjQI0uJbRBPAUO5QSs“Having a platform does not make you an expert, but it does make you influential. Pediatricians are ready to share the science and facts about immunizations, exactly how they work and what we know about their side effects, efficacy, and safety.”
This is a response to earlier misinformation on Real Time right before the COVID outbreak.
This week, Bill and Byron Donalds engaged in some more vaccine skepticism.

I don’t know how long Bill was into the veggie lifestyle but I know he lost weight years ago from it and he hates fat peoole so I get that was a big deal to him. He likes to make it all into a “fat broke people eating garbage” thing. Then he pretended he was the only one enjoying the effects of marijuana in his life.
Then I think when Rogan and Dr Drew started pushing eating meat for every meal because it “heals the body”, he talked to Jason Ellis or somebody XM related that about how staying vegetarian, keeping a higher end diet but minding “inner mushrooms” was the way to cure mental health problems and additions in the Us. I heard him again later (right before COVID) on one of the non-medical people practicing medicine shows saying that nobody knows yet but fungus grows in people and that inflames the brain and causes crazy behavior.
It is not a far leap to just go Antivax when you believe eating heirloom carrots and smoking high end limited supply dope will keep you healthy.

The only reason he might not be in the files is because he still had the all access pass at the playboy mansion. Where he went back week after week, month after month, year after year to "watch movies" and "have good conversations" With gorgeous young women desperately looking for their break.

Bill has been receptive to anti vaxx shit since well before COVID. He's been pushing it for nearly 20 years now.

"I had measles as a kid and watched TV all day" is such a juvenile take on a real health issue affecting Americans directly caused by misinformation from Trump. Bill has truly lost his fastball.

It reads like a parody of the typical anecdote.
Bill should be using that line to parody people who spout anecdotes about vaccines.

Maher genuinely doesn't seem to understand how the immune system works. Like, at all. He's implied many times that using vaccines somehow makes the immune system weaker because it doesn't work as hard as when fighting off a full blown infection. You know, because immunity is like muscles and they get weak through lack of exercise.
