ReplyTHE NEW DUCK AND COVER.
Replydidn’t desantis try to censor covid statistics?
Replydid we forgot about that?
Bill Maher is just brutal..ly honest. Preach!!
ReplyTrump did not say ingest Clorox or disinfectant. Look at the video. Trump got things going much faster than Biden would have. Give credit. Also politics is the only reason the virus was turned lose from China in the first place.
ReplyCuomo made loads of mistakes but drumpf told all Americans visiting Europe to come home. Right straight to New York airports. There’s a timeline between Cuomo and DeSantis and DeSantis fudged the numbers
ReplyThis is the first time the public has been asked to wear masks in this country. Maybe it’s time to condition Americans to be ready for biological warfare.
ReplyWTF is liberal media. All owned by Corporate Giants. Not liberal.
ReplyLockdown critical left on reddit.
ReplyAs a Democrat from Texas I guess we deserved that.
ReplyI was getting increasingly annoyed with Bill’s increasingly partisan opinions.
But this is really different.
Really great stuff!
ReplyBut, the problem is that over the past year the U.S. has proved to the world that most of them CAN’T handle the truth by becoming the world’s most infected nation!!
Reply“I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions” then don’t push for nationalized healthcare
ReplyThank you, Bill. The misinformation on the left is completely ignored and it really needs to be called out way more often.
ReplyOhhh man the Woke Folk are gonna lose their MINDS watching this one!
ReplyWe have to empathise with obese people but should not say it okay and healthy to be obese. I am saying this as a person who has been overweight and reduced my weight multiple times
ReplyVaccines?
ReplySo Bill wants to say florida is doing it right compared to NY. So comparing two hot spots in the US with rising infections as the guide for the country. Two different weather patterns; you can go dance on the beach in FL with the sun and wind to keep you safe while you’re two inches from a hundred other people. And in NY it’s still winter there with a governor that didn’t have much empathy or care for the old. While Bill social distances and hides out in his house saying how everybody else should get out.
ReplyI’m on board with most of what Bill Maher says but I reject most of this. He points out that half the country (right-wing/Repubs) are woefully misinformed, then criticises the other side for being overly panicked, but fails to connect the dots. The reason people were panicked was because there was one side that didn’t want to do ANYTHING. Telling people to go about their lives is one thing if we could trust most of the population to be responsible, but it was obvious that half the country would not be responsible. They wouldn’t socially distance, they wouldn’t wear masks, they were willing to deny any and all science in favor of believing stupid conspiracies about 5G and microchipping, and there were those obnoxious cunts who would cough or spit in people’s faces just to be obnoxious.
The pandemic became bad because the govt didn’t want to stop its spread, claiming it was no worse than the flu (even though it turns out they knew it was worse). Already back then people were predicting two things: 1) the effects of those who did the right thing will not be noticed because it’d be lost among the effects of people NOT doing the right thing; and 2) the longer it draws on and the better things get (because they eventually have to), the more people won’t see the point of it and will question why they were doing (or ever did) anything. In that light a govt (and especially scientists) _has_ to preach an over-cautious message, because they have to make up for the shortfall caused by those who don’t want to help at all.
We want to talk about how it’s bad, but we’re already forgetting how much worse it could’ve been if people just did nothing. And bringing up obesity is just deflection. You want to talk about obesity? Fine, but that’s a long-term thing. The short-term fight was Covid, and it would not have helped pointing this out at a time when many people were already obese and unlikely to immediately change that. It would have helped no one if a Covid-infected person ended up in hospital and all you could tell them was “Well you should’ve been less obese”. Bill likes to say it’s possible for people to hold two thoughts at once; I say yes, but it’s also possible to understand what is a priority.
And yes, there were people warning about obesity _constantly_ . There are governmental reports about it federally and from every state from almost every year going back decades. People like Bill de Blasio tried to be proactive about it (at least on a micro level) and people made it a laughing stock. Once again, there are huge, systemic problems in America that will need fixing and will probably take years; Covid was a problem that arrived suddenly and needs dealing with *now* . The countries that did best from Covid were those who had hard lockdowns, limited movement, had strong messaging on social distancing, _and_ lower rates of obesity. America wants all the benefits of that but, until now, couldn’t deliver on any of it. That’s not scientists’ fault, or the left. If you want to see how bad messaging and an apathetic population works out, look at Brazil, the UK and a whole bunch of other countries.
ReplyBill talking straight truth again…
ReplyAmazing how someone can repeat the obvious facts that have been out for months, and we congratulate him.
ReplyBill hates Trump cause they were playing in the same field of “saying what everybody thinks but don’t say”. Now, his main competitor is gone, Bill has become a sort of a “king of political incorrectness”
Replyirony is that Bill is spreading some BS about covid. he isn’t telling all the truth about it. whatever, the bottom line is the the vast majority if gop voters are wrong about most everything and history has proven that for decades.
ReplyWiping down surfaces was never the media lying to you. It was an overabundance of caution that turned out to be unnecessary after more research. It’s like wearing a helmet when you’re riding in a car – you look ridiculous and it’s probably unnecessary, but you don’t know it’s unnecessary until you verify that you’re not riding with Tiger Woods.
ReplyProblem is this Bill. You probably won’t have to be admitted to the hospital if you get Covid, but even so if you get it you can also have lung damage amongst many other issues even if you have a mild case. Have seen this happen over and over again. So you shouldnt speak as if it’s safe and ok to get Covid.
ReplyI live in Sweden and have never worn a face diaper during the pandemic. I’m a young, slender guy that knows the value of a healthy and active life style. A face mask is nothing compared to that.
ReplyI am a medical doctor who believes in importance of nutrition in achieving optimal health. I got reprimanded by my hospital administration for talking to much to my patients about nutrition. The explanation was that one obese nurse became uncomfortable with it. 😕
ReplyAs some one said earlier in the comments the way you are handling your statistics is wrong. 78% of the people who got sick were obese but 74% of the US population is obese. Look at the infection rate in Nordic countries where the people are slimmer. They did worse than us. It’s a very dangerous flu that has very damaging effects. We have lost a lot of people already and many still have long term effects. No Bill do more research than just reading one article. Although I do agree more emphasis on weight loss is necessary.
ReplyA bit cuckoo today, Bill
ReplyHe always ends up shooting his mouth off with the truth that nearly all political sides would hate him for. Good. Truth telling is a very perilous task….right on! Side observation: it was very ironic that so many liberals claim to “follow” Dr. Fauci, and support being “well informed”, yet they ignore the fact that he says over and over “a strong immune system is one the the best ways to combat this virus”. HE SAYS THIS ALL THE TIME AND THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, yet so many just ignore it and focus on everything else. Honestly the Left and Right are too busy trying to be or loving the position of being superior and one-upping the other side, that the average Person in America gets lost, exploited and dreadfully misinformed about everything, with every new generation—- but in particular, now about COVID.
Reply*Vitamin D, people!*
ReplyI needed to hear this months ago. Damn.
ReplyDeSantis did better cause he got a heads up before NY… Rump held information back…
ReplyI watch love boat reruns during the national news – which I used to watch to inform myself
ReplyThese days love boat is more informative
I would much rather people presume something is worse than it is and be cautious then dismiss it and pretend it doesn’t exist. The two, are uncomparable. One person isn’t going to cross the street because they don’t feel it is ever safe and the other person is going to jump out in front of a car and die. Republicans are stupid
ReplyHow did he die, again?
ReplyNice to have you back and sharp as ever
ReplyKudos for giving de Santiago the credit he deserves
Reply“oh, it’s not that deadly!”
ReplyYeah… The fact that many survivors have long term organ damage (heart, lungs, etc.) is totally insignificant to the wise Bill Maher…
Then how do you explain the surge in cases in Florida where there are even more beachgoers? Correlation doesn’t equal causality. You’re not a scientist Bill. In fact, sometimes you do a lot of harm with your misinformation.
ReplyBill Maher, the closeted conservative, speaks again. Yes, Democrat leaders lied. Yes, voting Democrats are dumb for believing it.
He’ll never come out of the closet. While calling out Democrats for their lies and stupidity he still manages to lie about what Trump said.
ReplyChris Cuomo did not hurt the elderly in new york. He covered up their deaths so that Trump couldn’t use it against him. Blame the idiot that was in office, not the person trying to help the nation. you sound like a Fox News correspondent…
ReplyShut up bill because those people been coming to liberal states your argument is stupid
ReplyLiberals were wrong about a pointless percentage question and conservatives deny climate change. It’s a wash guys
Reply😊
ReplyTrump never said to drink bleach, when you lie it undermines the legitimacy of your whole argument
ReplyDamn hell is freezing over I agree with Bill on a bunch of stuff
Reply‘The killer was already in the house, and her name is little Debbie’
Replyhow high is your IQ, this comment hits on Multiple Levels !
You fail to miss that texas and Florida cut their testing
ReplyWait the governor of FL reads lol.
ReplyDid he read that his pal Gaetz has a thing for kids and probably nose candy 🕺🤷♂️
As far left as Bill Maher is, he does have the balls to occasionally recognize unapproved reality. Just talking about ‘the most pertinent factor, but you dare not speak it’s name’ as Maher put it with Covid could easily get you crucified by the woke mob. I remember when Yamiche Alcindor, the black PBS Washington correspondent, badgered Joe Biden in a press conference for a response to Covid disproportionately affecting blacks. That put Biden in a spot as he knew he couldn’t be frank, especially with her, that demographically blacks have the biggest obesity issues. And as far as what to do about it, an honest response like eating less Popeye’s would cause a national outrage. As Maher stated, ‘the last thing you want to do is say anything insensitive, we would literally rather die’.
ReplyHe certainly chomped into a big one on this episode. Well put…all of it.
ReplyEverything is political and it suxxx
ReplyThe heartbreak of TDS! No cure for libtardation!
ReplyTrump never said to ingest household disinfectants. You just repeated a hoax while trying to expose one 🤡
ReplyDon’t be a hypocrite…disinfecting fruit is widely done by wholesale sellers and zoos. It does not involve “drenching” them in an undetermined amount. You should know better…the dose is the poison. Clorox (in use for 100 years now) is responsible for our over bloated population. Republicans know “who” is dying and that the mortality will free up resources and boost the economy.
ReplyI’m old enough to remember when Bill Maher was still funny, before he joined the cult.
ReplyI did not understand this one at all. I always thought we should have live feed from ICU, and show crime scene photos of mass shootings. Mask-wearing and gun safety laws solved.
ReplyFunny how a clip about misinformation and spin does exactly that.
ReplyHey Bill. Why is it not possible the same forces that drive covid panic culture are the same ones that drive climate panic culture? Same spin. Same ad hominem attacks. Same appeals to emotion and authority. Same black listing and censorship. If the science is sound it can withstand debate from the skeptics.
ReplyYou could’ve said this when it mattered
ReplyImagine someone watching this and thinking “I must downvote this because reasons.” When every word of this monologue was supported by the facts, readily available to anyone to check.
ReplyOh, Bill… you are SO wise and above it all. Kidding.
Reply“If you lie to people you lose their trust…” That’s what the left has done…and some on the right too. Never better said.
ReplyIs Bill waking up?
ReplyThose are bs facts
ReplyIts amazing how the republicans and Trump are being proven right, weird huh dems….
ReplyThe only thing Maher is missing in this video is the MAGA hat.
Reply“SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT” YES!!! WE ARE SANE STILL!!!! I posted this in March 2020. And got lots of sun during “lockdown”
ReplyToo little too late.
ReplyVery brilliant and true ! Thanks from Italy
ReplyThis video is recommended by Little Debbie’s Doctor.
Reply“I don’t want politics mixed in to my medical decisions.” Women, everywhere, start the slow clap.
ReplyI don’t want religion mixed with my politics but we can’t always get what we want. One of the biggest arguments for democracy dollars and UBI.
ReplyBeautifully said
ReplyThanks bill
ReplyFinally Bill is waking up!👍
ReplyYou don’t want politics in your medical decisions, but you want Government to provide health care to everyone. Do you see the problem with this?
ReplyWhen my relative was working as a cashier he had to quit because the constant sanitizing was giving him stomach aches. It was fucking with his healthy gut microbes. He’d work three days, feel like total shit, be off 4 days and feel better. Had to quit because of the excessive sanitizing. Stomachache no more now.
ReplyHit the nail on the head with this one.
ReplyBill, please just go ahead and become a Republican
Replybill should stick to being a comedian, or get better researchers
ReplyChance of transmission from a surface is 1 in 10 000 under a specific set of circumstances. If you touch any surface outside with covid, let it bake in the sun for a day then the chance is more like 1 in 10000 gazillion. If you have covid, sneeze on an orange, hand it to someone who touches it and they instantly rub their eyes the chance is probably nearing 1 in 1.
ReplyFauci is so patronizing and talks to the public like children.So tired of the government treating it’s citizens like they are dumb.So many Americans have a way bigger brain then those nit wits in government.
ReplyI get what he’s saying overall but I’ve been hearing obesity linked as a risk factor for severe Covid since the start of the pandemic, from various sources throughout media including mainstream. It’s not some nugget of truth the “PC liberal media” refused to talk about. Also I don’t remember people being told they couldn’t and shouldn’t go outside. Congregating outside in tight crowds is one thing but being outside in general was never anything I feel like doctors and the media was shaming me or anyone about.
ReplyCuomo is responsible for thousands of elderly deaths and belongs in prison.
ReplyIt surprises me that this video is not taken down by YouTube for going against the mainstream media’s fear porn regarding COVID. Much smaller YouTube channels, some of which feature well informed scientists and doctors who have data to back up what they are saying, have had their videos taken down for making similar claims as Bill is making here. I guess because of their relatively small size, YouTube feels more emboldened to cancel these smaller channels. Much like a bully, YouTube knows that they can silence the little guy with impunity. They know if they did that to Bill, who is saying something quite factual, he has a large enough platform to fight back.
ReplyBill begs for applause and blames his audience for his bad jokes and/or delivery.
ReplyBill Maher is really getting good this season!
ReplyWhen will the Trump bashing ever end.He is responsible for the quick making of the vaccine although no one wants to give him the credit he deserves instead we want to give the senile old man we have as president now all the credit.
ReplyAnd don’t forget it’s the left not the right which is responsible for censoring those who try to get out the truth about what the science says about COVID-19.. Even doctors and scientists who simply ask questions about the ever changing recommendations from the cdc and Fauci get censored.
ReplyThank you Bill for saying something that needs to be said. Its unfortunate that it even needs to be said. If people would stop looking at the profit driven scary headlines designed to get ratings, and instead just looked at the raw numbers and did some simple division that they should have learned in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, they would know how exaggerated the claims are regarding the severity of this virus, and how ineffective lockdowns are in the long run.
ReplyGreat video, very objective. A thing that you rarely see in political commentators.
ReplyBill has proven one thing about our political and media landscape better than anyone else:
ReplyIRRATIONALITY IS BIPARTISAN
Sorry Bill but I need to correct you on Texas. Stats went down on covid-19 because Greg Abbott and the Powers that be, changed the reporting rules. And they continue to lie about covid-19 not affecting the children. The have lied continuely about availability of covid-19 testing, rural Texas doesn’t have access to a damm thing. Texas has NOT released the majority of the money provided by the covid-19 relief bills that was supposed to keep people in their homes. What they did release is so restricted that you can’t qualify for help unless you owe back rent. Texas ISN’T honoring the National EVICTIONS BANN.
ReplyTexas HAS HAD a MASSIVE spike in covid-19 EVERYTIME there is a HOLIDAY or EVENT of any size. The Collages are huge superspreaders even now. Texas DOESN’T release data on the children infected with covid-19 because that would prove they are lying, children are not immune!
When i told my friend who is overweight and diabetic to be careful (back in march 15th 2020) he was mad at me and said he was sure he would have only a minor flu or something
ReplyThe biggest joke in this diatribe is telling people Ron desantis opened Florida up because “he reads”. He’s been trying to open it up since summer of last year. But bill is right, the warm air and sunshine will cure it. Just like it did last summer right? What exactly are we supposed to do, Bill? Do fat people have less rights than skinny people? Apparently it’s ok to tell America to do whatever drugs you like but not to shovel whatever food you choose into your mouth. Why? Because Bill said so. Is the virus deadly or not? Should we be taking it seriously or not? What is it that you want me to do exactly? 2% of the population hospitalized is damn near 7 million people. What am I supposed to do?
ReplyBill Maher: Liberals report ill-informed, unscientific medical information based on feelings.
ReplyAlso Bill Maher: Vitamin D and wind are stopping Covid.
It int a lie to caution people based on probabilities especially when there isnt enough data to say definitely what the risks are. Dont blame the doctors if people overestimate the risks.
Replyholy shit..maybe I’ll start watching again
ReplyLove how Bill tells it how it is… right or left👍
ReplyPreach
ReplyHis constant anti obesity rants can/should be made in a more powerful + positive way. Food can be an addiction like weed and alcohol. COVID is an evolving disease give the scientists a break re an evolving protocol. A number of super spreader events were outside and lives were lost. Still a great voice in our times.
Replybill is 100% right on that last point- a lot of people would literally rather die than hear that their eating or their weight is a problem
ReplyThank you.
ReplyThey don’t want to get teachers killed
ReplyBill starting to drift right 🙂
ReplyTo shorten this to a mere few seconds
ReplyGOP governors got this right, and DNC governors got this wrong. Media lies to scare you into fear
There, now you know everything.
Bill might be one of the few people left in America who GENUINELY holds all “sides” accountable. THANK YOU BILL.
ReplyNew York was hit with the virus first and is a much more concentrated population
ReplyThanks for some truth I didn’t know. Always welcome.
ReplyFlorida had a while to learn from NY, they got hit way harder and sooner than FL
Replyone of the best “New Rules” in a fat minute!!!
ReplyWHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DONT KNOWIN 2021 BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS STUPID AS FUCK: THIS IS A MOTHERFUCING PLAGUE.NO CHOICES, NO “GUIDELINES”, NO “GETTING BETTER”. IT’S A FUCKING PLAGUE.
ReplyBillie, you’re the one claiming Dimocraps are smarter than Republicans. You shouldn’t be surprised by the results of an objective question asked of the two parties. I’m not.
ReplyLet’s be straight, while the fearmongering can be reprehensible the rate at which the virus mutates the experts are giving projections that the life of a vaccine will be 9 month’s.
After that the virus will mutate enough to render existing vaccines incapable… as demonstrated by the SA variant which makes half the vaccines less effective even now.
And last I checked people are not wearing masks properly anyways.
ReplyI took microbiology in the 90’s…. giving me insight in the reasons for CDC guidelines, making it easy for me to know which lane to be in. Education is key.
Reply“If it bleeds it leads”… got that line from Project Veritas’ expose’..? Slammed CNN to the ground… I love how the audience now has to applaud (hesitatingly). Sounds like Bill is getting red pilled… about time. The left’s lying about thing is coming to a head.. people are waking up to the left-wing sling.
ReplyAnd trump didn’t say ingest household disinfectants, another lie brought on by the left wing loonies.
ReplyAnd sadly, the states that also did lock downs, (Pennsylvania is one of them, but nobody ever says shit about the state), well those lock downs actually made people gain weight. I was one of them. I am hoping to move out of that crap state within the next 6 weeks. Their governor is an absolute Nazi, who is out of control. He is one step, down the ladder from Cuomo. I don’t normally agree with Bill Maher, but most of what he says in this clip, is spot on.
ReplyYou’re not being realistic when you compare DeSantis with Como. No comparison there. Republicans still believe, somewhat, that covid is a hoax.
ReplyGreetings. Bill: You make some good points, but: I’ve heard plenty about the wonders of exercise and proper diet. I’ve heard plenty about the dangers of obesity. I’ve heard about obese people being at higher risk for severe covid, including death. I’ve heard all the other factors that increase your risk of severe covid illness. It’s on the websites that have info about it. It’s in the news. No, not front page, because most sane people already know obesity is bad and exercise and proper diet are good, which means it’s not really news. It’s in mail from places you sign up for. They ask you about them when you get your shots. Bill, what are you talking about? It’s all there for anyone who bothers to read a webpage or two. Do you want the doctors to visit everyone in their homes and shout it through a bullhorn? When de Santis of FL lifted the lockdown, it took 8 weeks for cases to come roaring back. We’ll see what happens in TX. After 8 weeks. Or maybe the vaccines are finally kicking in. There were none in the FL case. I do want to say that it’s great to see you call both conservatives and liberals when they do bullshit. That’s a great thing. BTW, I never bleached vegetables. I can’t believe anyone did that. Not as bad as up the you-know-what though! Never soaked my mail in disinfectant. Did wipe some doorknobs once or twice. And you have to admit the emphasis except at the very beginning has been on masks, washing your hands, get vaccinated, and the 6-feet rule — almost nothing about surfaces.
Replythe media is to blame
ReplyI was a huge fan of Bill Maher until this past year, when he seemed to buy the whole official narrative on COVID. To see him finally come around to the truth of the matter restores my faith not just in him but humanity. Keep going with this, Bill!
ReplyGive it to me straight about Biden while you’re at it Bill
ReplyBill Maher you are killing me with these good shows lately. I think you are now officially “awakened” and “trying” thank you!
Reply“climate change denial” You mean denying the thing that has supposed to have ended the world a good dozen or more times in the past 50 years since Spock featured in propaganda about it in the 70’s?
Reply“I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions,…that’s why I hated Obamacare.” — There, I fixed it.
ReplyIs it all that simple? Are we all just jerks sitting on our ears? Bill just look into the world if it’s just all that simple we would see the answer – it would just up into our face – but you’re wrong – the world does not work like that – some parts may – but let’s face the facts there are too many idiots coming up with solutions, and they are louder than those that try to explain science to morons – we were good, we were on the right track and then came those idiots using your arguments -the same arguments, and we all went through hell – Fact those countries that went the hard way no compromise they are near to COVID-19 free those that are good at stirring crap are where we are now in hell. You want to help shut up!
ReplySmart people knew this last year. People like Bill are barely catching up.
Reply“ingest house hold cleaners” Trump never said that.
ReplyHis braindead NPC audience has no idea what their clapping or laughing at at any given time. You can tell by the hesitancy.
ReplyBill Maher as usual with the facts👏🏽👏🏽
ReplyEven a broken clock like Shill Maher is right twice a day. 🤷♂️ 🤡
ReplyBill is confusing correlation and causation here. Great the covid infections went down after Texas opened up again, but did the latter actually cause the former or did they just simply coincided and was the infection rate caused by other effects?
ReplyThe survey responses at 02:08 pretty much prove which group is the true low-information voting bloc.
ReplyI love Maher, generally, but he is on thin ice here. He is displaying a clear confirmation bias, indeed he is spinning the issue himself (just look at his discourse prep on the stats of hospitalization) and with his platform influencing the public, he should be much more circumspect in how he advocates people address pandemic behavior. Texas’ infections rates went down for a while after opening, but then the scientifically predicted happened, and now they are climbing again. It is inevitable and appropriate that a certain amount of “politics” influences “medical decisions” when society at large is confronting a pandemic. Everyone’s personal decision affects everyone else during a pandemic. California has gone through the ringer and is now in a better place, while in Brazil, India, even parts of Europe, cemeteries are standing room only. So no, it is not just a flu, and no, it is far from over. If prudent behavior lapses, the science says it will only get worse. Bill neglects to mention the complications of the new variants, CDC guidance on mask wearing, vaccinations, etc. this is a subject area Bill should just leave alone.
ReplyGood job with this one.

ReplyDesantis is an idiot. I am in Florida now and people here act as if there is no risk.
ReplyThanks Bill, for keeping it Real…….Obesity is a symptom of the real, underlying cause: lousy eating habits and lousy farm-to-fork practices (we do a little better in that department here in the EU, fortunately). The Healthcare Revolution starts in the kitchen.
ReplyThank you Maher
ReplyHe still got TDS, what a great dialogue until the TDS kicks in.
ReplyHow was the full episode? He seems burnt out and just going through the motions delivering this segment.
Reply‘What changes to be hospitalized after getting covid’ is a rather unnuanced question. When you are under 60, in good health and weight, changes are closer to zero then to one percent.
ReplyOne to five percent is a american number, because your population is so unhealthy.
So, my country has one of the highest mortality rates in the world. ( compared to population size)
ReplySchools reopen tomorrow..
Pregnant women get vaccinated, and some very sick kids between 16-18 ( here you count as an adult from 18)
But ofcourse there are no vaccines for kids in general.
Any ideas?
Nice job billy.
ReplyHe sounds like Tucker Carlson. So sad.
ReplyFailed to point out that 73% of American is overweight or obese so that stat was meaningless
ReplyDisregarding the obese, 95 % of the deaths have been over 60, 90 % of deaths have been over 70. That means that 5 % of deaths have been under 60. In Sweden have had had literary had 300 deaths under the age of 50 from Covid
ReplyI’m a Democrat and I knew the right answers. I’ll take my fake news over Fox any day.
ReplyFlorida beats New York…Texas beats everyone! Go Bill! Now you are talking!
ReplySo happy that Bill is becoming more conservative n calling out liberal indoctrination
ReplyBig butt, big gut-puts your health in a rut.
ReplyObesity is a big comorbidity of covid deaths. The left media does not want to say it because it is the politically correct thing to do.
ReplyLook at the downvotes. So many fatties seething.

ReplyBill finally coming over to the good side
ReplyA uniting message everyone can subscribe to. Thanks for this Bill, from someone on the other side of many issues.
ReplyIt looks like he is getting better from Trump derangement syndromes, it kind of reminds me why I used to watch him in the 90s, a few lies still but much better ☝️👏👏
ReplyThis is because the Liberal MSMedia parrots FEAR
ReplyYou don’t want politics mixed in with your medical decisions? Little late on that one and basically unavoidable. Trump mixed those two up real well and that’s why we are where we’re at right now. Getting outside isn’t the issue. It the lack of social distancing and not wearing a mask when the risk of spreading a very serious virus is still a reality that people are concerned about. Given that LA has more bodies than it can dispose of you should know better, Bill.

ReplyConspiracy theories are a weapon of choice by those who wish to put doubt in our Government and society. Most conspiracy theories are made up by those behind the Q-Anon movement. Q-Anon is a virus in our system corroding the efforts of that system to our society AND how we are viewed around the world. Most of what Q-Anon does is attack the foundation of America. Q-Anon creates fear, mistrust, and a hatred to those who are, at the moment, trying to preserve America and her Ideals.
Q-Anon followers were first isolated from the truth by spreading the notion that the news was fake. This allowed people to believe ONLY what Q-Anon says to be true. Q-Anon is a con artist stringing people along with a false Narrative of reality and motivating them to hate the American Government on behalf of Russia.
The conspiracy theories are similar to those anti-American propaganda slogans by the Soviet Union during the cold war.
ReplyBill Maher is alt-right now? damn
ReplyWow. Doctor Bill is really well informed. Let’s see him go to Florida or Texas. Looks like he’s still in hiding and getting stoned.
ReplyThe kicker is that the 1-to-5% hospitalization rate is still scary — it’s just hard to convey that nuance in a short soundbite or headline. Part of the US’ messed-up state comes from its eagerness to find simple explanations to complex problems, and often that’s not how reality works.
ReplyTrump never said to drink bleach and people didn’t die because of him. Thank China you little weenie. Mocking Trump gets laughs …. your brilliant
ReplyIt sounds like Bill is starting to wake up! Dave Rubin is right about Bill. Bill is coming around!!
ReplyMan, I agree with Bill on so much until he goes off on Covid rants. Brother, you have been rich for a long time, and honestly after last summer being an asshole about people not going to Mets games was because he was hemorrhaging money because of the pandemic, he shut up really quickly when he got the payout when the team was sold.
ReplyNow, he goes back to shitting on overweight people. Look out of the mansion and realize that many people see Lil Debby as a treat because it’s less than $5 for a box of desserts for the family. Goes back to that income inequality that he talks about, but is technically part of the problem because he is also rich. Actually recognize that sure, he’s wealthy, old, and has qualified for the vaccine well before others, so even as a moderate when it comes to politics, stop complaining about medical business.
You completely lost me on this Bill because here in Australia we went into lockdown with level 4 restrictions across the country, we also listened to the advice from our Scientists and medical experts and followed Covid safe practices, it worked, we’ve been back to normal since before Christmas and now we’re just easing the very last restrictions. A huge part of Australia having successfully stopped the spread of the virus is because as a society we decided to just get on with it and not endlessly whinge and moan about it, that’s the difference. It’s correct that Trumps complete incompetence in managing the pandemic resulted in so many unnecessary deaths as did obesity but it also comes back to the public. So many Americans simply refused to follow the rules, that willful ignorance had consequences, in your case the US having the highest death rates and infections in the world…facts!
Reply🙏 that is the reason death rate in South Korea is low. Not many obese people. And we eat healthy food including kimchi. Some people are freaked out and spraying crolox on everything in USA.
ReplyHey Bill, you sound like you been watching James O’Keefe lately and now you’re trying to wake up some wokies. Good for you.
ReplyBill have become the king of the middle ground, pointing out The stupidity of the polarised right / left
ReplyBill Maher, just note this is NOT all docs.
ReplyWell said Bill.
Replyso democrats are overly cautious, and republicans overly reckless. which causes more death?
ReplyExcellent perspective
ReplyI still have a concern for Texas opening up. There has not been enough time since this has happened to determine if cases are not going to go because of this.
ReplyThe problem that he doesn’t address is that if you’re already fat and out of shape, you have to be careful. And if you’re in shape, you still have to be careful, because you still go around people that are fat and out of shape. Or old. It takes a lot longer to get in shape than it does to get covid. Being in shape might reduce the severity of the disease, or even the chances of getting it. But 36% of the country is considered obese. You can’t have them all run some laps and get out in the sun and call it a day. Fat bastards are people too.
ReplyYou’re right about that. Politics and science don’t mix
ReplyIt’s not the beach, sun and sand per se; it’s the foolish people who get drunk, stand and party shoulder to shoulder while yelling to each other over music on Ocean Drive and its bars.
ReplyThis was Malicious
ReplyAre Leftists gonna say Maher is “Killing people” for this piece???
ReplyHi Bill, we’re so sorry that all the fatties inconvenienced you and stopped you from touring, but I wonder now that you’re back playing Vegas again, if you are going to harangue the retirees that ride their Rascals to your show after chowing down at the all-you-can-eat buffet in the casino, or will you stick to the cancel culture schtick which will go over great in the 60-80 y.o. crowd.
BTW schools were closed not because of fear that children would die from Covid, but because the CDC feared children would bring the virus home to more vulnerable populations like parents and grandparents.
ReplyLove hearing Bills braindead audience confused on what to clap about when he doesn’t say what they want to hear.
Reply“The killer was already in the house, and her name is Little Debbie”… wow. Powerful close. Well said, through and through.
ReplyShut up bill the moron you are not funning.
ReplyYEAH OK BUT THE BAD ORANJMAN SAID NASTY THINGS ON TWITTER THAT MADE ME FEEL BAD AND THE TELEVISION TELLS ME THE THE BAD ORANJMAN IS BAD SO HE IS BAD ALSO I BELIEVE ANYTHING THE MEDIA TELLS ME BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT RUSSIAN COLLUSION AND EVERYONE DIES FROM COVID SO STAY IN YOUR HOME AND NEVER COME OUT UNTIL THE BAD ORANJMAN IS GONE RHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ReplyHaven’t read through all of the comments here but DeSantis in FL has been one of, if not the biggest virus spreaders in the country with his policies. That and the fact he was giving 💉 to areas of the state based on contributions to his re-election pact. Do the full dive into Desantis before you pat him on the back. He has repeatedly turned down the Medicaid expansion for Floridians. Biden’s recovery act made the expansion less expensive but still a no from him . FLORIDA doesn’t need 4 more years of Desantis/Trump policies.
ReplyThank you Mr. Maher
ReplyI don’t want politics in anything period. Blue this red that. It’s stupid. Grow up world.
ReplyThat clapping….
ReplyI remember when they kicked Bill off broadcast TV for telling the truth about the 911 attackers. He was 100 % right.
ReplyI agree with him on this. Its a rare case for us to share the same view point.
ReplyLord. So good except LYING ABOUT WHAT TRUMP SAID. Try researching the Clorox MEDIA HOAXXXXXX
ReplyI can’t listen to Bill talk about American’s responsibility to eat healthy ANYMORE until he takes on the government subsidized Agribusiness. The fact it costs over 100 dollars a week for one person to eat healthy and probably 40 bucks to eat junk. Not a monetary problem Bill has I am guessing. He wants politics out of his health decisions but wants government promoting healthy eating. I don’t think he is telling it like it is, he’s grinding the same axe every week without getting into the history of how the American diet became so toxic. It takes a lot of time, money and education to eat healthy. Some don’t have that luxury. I am quite sure there a large amount of people who could eat heathier and don’t. But its a complex issue. What I always used to love about Bill was he got into the complexities and varying view points of of any given issue. He is starting to sound like a cheap political pundit with only narrow arguments that support your cause. #Crankyoldman
ReplyKinda thinking based on this one
ReplyEven a broken watch like Bill is correct 2 times a day.

ReplyMedia terrorist need to be identified, lynched and strung up by the neck in their front yards. All of this needs to be broadcast on CNN and YT.
ReplyAbsolutely spot on. On the mark.
ReplyYou leave Little Debbie alone you monster f*****
ReplyI wonder if lefties will start listening now? Since of of their own is actually telling them how it is. I have to respect Bill here, he is far left, but here, he deserves respect
ReplyI am on the right, but it doesn’t matter if you are right or left with your general ideas, this has all been about divide and conquer! We MUST put our petty differences aside and come together to fight the common enemy! The communist party of China and the corrupt left wing media and big tech!
ReplyIt wasnt bullshit. It takes time to find the right protocols.
Reply🔥💦💙🔥💦💙💞🔥
ReplyUnfortunately, on this I have to agree with him.
ReplyHe’s right, he’s right. People are so convinced that their side is so correct, and the liberals have the conviction of trillion dollar corporations behind them, but are just as guilty of this as the repubs are.
ReplyRED PILLED. Again. Lol you can hear the audience looking at each other ‘should we laugh? These are Republican policies. But keep voting for Pelosi and newsom who’s kids always were in school and their wineries haven’t shut down.
ReplyBut do explain, Bill, how physiologically your body is going to be producing and expelling viruses en masse when there aren’t enough inside the host to have manifested symptomatically. It may not be entirely impossible but surely the magnitude is dwarfed by those with full-blown disease.
ReplyJust googled infection rate in Texas. Almost every country is up right now..
ReplyBill is so close sometimes to understanding that liberalism is purely evil.
ReplyUgh. This reminds me why I don’t watch your show anymore.
ReplyThe reason the U.S. media coverage of the pandemic was so negative in 2020 is that the situation in the U.S. was actually worse than it was in most of the world during that period.
ReplyIf only we still had Michelle back to get. Americans on track- literally
ReplyYes, 70% of Democrats gave answers to the hospitalization % question in the top 2 categories, but so did 60% of Independent/other and a slight majority (51%) of Republicans.
ReplyBetter be careful Bill…or they will cancel you.
Replyladies and gentlemen i give you… the overton window
Replylove you!
ReplyAbsolutely 💯‼️
Reply“I know it’s irresponsible for me to say it”…wow, a liberal admits he could be in trouble if he actually tell the truth.
Reply69% of American adults are considered obese or overweight so stating that 78% of people hospitalized are obese or overweight doesn’t really mean much.
ReplyI paused jiu jitsu for a month while I figured things out last March. Decided it was all a load of stuff and resumed my normal day to day life as much as the lockdown lemmings would let me. If I could figure it out, so could anybody else. The politicians deserve ample blame for the mess they created but people need to take personal responsibility for themselves when it comes to their health. Exercise, eat well (definitely don’t follow the food pyramid), get some sun but not too much, don’t be sedentary for long periods of time, and enjoy time with friends and family. Basically the diametric opposite of lockdown and hide, which is what so many sheeple did.
ReplyBill, thank you! Please send this to the mainstream.
ReplyFINALLY!
ReplyYet you were so happy to peddle the bad Covid news when Trump was President and the election was happening – gtfo of here!
ReplyYou’re the problem!
Thank god he speaks the truth. I know he doesn’t believe in god. It’s a metaphor. Atheist understands the truth. Thank you!
ReplyBill should watch a day’s BBC News coverage if he wants panic porn!
ReplyBill, cut the bullshit. 560K families are missing a member because of that nonsense.
ReplyThe media should be legally obligated to clearly separate the
Reply“facts” of a news story, from the reporters personal opinion
about the story.
Brilliant!!
ReplySo many are fearing a virus that has ~98% survivability… This isn’t something terrifying like Ebola (according to the WHO, its fatality rate is 50% on average but has varied from 25-90% in past outbreaks). I just checked the Worldometer ticker right now, Google it if you’re so inclined. For starters, the current world population is around 7,859,535,600+ (at the very moment I wrote this comment on 4.16.21, 6:33 PM my time). Cumulative cases globally are: 140,496,07. Of those, 3,011,404 have died and _119,318,229 have recovered._
At the very bottom of that page, here are some important details: according to early estimates by China’s national health commission, about 80% of those who died were over the age of 60 and 75% of them had pre-existing health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Fatality rate (case fatality ratio or CFR) of the Wuhan Coronavirus has been estimated at _~2%,_ in the WHO press conference on health on 1/29/20. a prior estimate had put that number at 3%. Fatality rate can change as a virus can mutate according to epidemiologists. For comparison, the CFR for SARS was 10% and for MERS was 34% yet governments and corporations weren’t pushing for sinister Covid passports and fear mongering the public into lockdowns and vaccines for those deadlier infections.
I don’t post links because YouTube removes my entire comment so again, Google is your friend. I then went to the Johns Hopkins website. If you’re interested look for the site hopkinsmedicine . org and look for the page titled “coronavirus disease 2019 vs. the flu” by Dr. Lisa Lockerd Maragakis. Relevant info as follows: the WHO estimates that 1 billion people get the flu every year and 290,000-650,000 people die of it. This figure corresponds to 785-1,781 deaths a day due to the seasonal flu.
ReplyCongratulations on Bill Mahar seeing the light on Covid, however I don’t recall President Trump ever saying that people should ingest bleach or “Clorox”. He did say disinfectant and for those who know a thing or two my guess is that he was talking about chlorine dioxide. “Oh, but that’s bleach” No it isn’t, sit down and shut up! Chlorine dioxide is the disinfectant used to purify most of this nation’s municipal water supplies. It is available in tablet form and is used by hikers to disinfect water found on the trail. It is approved by the FDA to be used in meat and produce packing plants. It was used in Ecuador about 6 months ago to cure over 100 severe cases of Covid-19. Just recently a clinical study was completed using oral chlorine dioxide to cure Covid-19. The study was registered and accepted at clinicaltrials.gov on April 7, 2020 (NCT 04343742). Apparently Trump’s knowledge was greatly advanced to that of Dr. Fauci who never said a word to the American people about a cheap, easy to use and highly effective cure for Covid-19. Why is that? Is it because Covid-19 is Fauci’s baby? No one in this country is more responsible for the illegal gain-of-function research conducted at the Wuhan lab than Dr. Fauci. Of course you could say we are all responsible because it was U.S. taxpayer dollars which Fauci used to pay for this research, but it was done without your consent. I would hope that Bill Mahar gets his facts straight because I’m tired of listening to bullshit attacks on Trump. He is our rightful president and the criminal Biden should have been arrested long ago.
ReplyLove how Bill is critical of all sides and rightly so…he seems to miss though that children are probably the greatest vector for spread of COID-19 and particularly new variants.
ReplyIt must be the end times because I largely agree with everything Bill Mahr just said. Huh
ReplyThe WHO has said that people with no symptoms do not spread Covid and they are not right wing lunatics. Also the IPCC said of climate models that as the climate is a chaotic system it cannot be modelled in any meaningful way. No one “denies” climate change but people do agree with the IPCC that the models cannot be trusted and that as we don’t know what the ideal average temperature is even if we could control it we wouldn’t know what temperature to set it at whether hotter than now or cooler than now. But one thing is for sure and certain civilisations in the past have invariably collapsed when the climate cooled and have grown stronger as the climate warmed. Cold kills humans and their food supplies not warming.
ReplyNow you say this…. a Year too late.
ReplyIt’s almost like the democrat party has lost their minds over covid. Think they’re doing the same with climate change?
ReplyBeing politically correct can kill you.
ReplyHe didn’t mention the fact that if exercising (being fit) and eating healthy are two of the best ways to maintain our health and not get a bad case of COVID, then lockdowns were the OPPOSITE of what we needed to insure public health. In California the beaches and the parks were even closed, for months!!
ReplyThere is an old dilapidated abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowheresville Nebraska. It has an old rusted shelf containing an old nasty bag of rotten worm food. The bag is broken and spilled over. Neglected (obviously). You walk up to it. “HEY let’s move”.
ReplyIf only you didn’t ruin it with saying Trump said something he didn’t actually say.
ReplyPolitical correctness kills….
Reply“No sh^t.” – Me, in May 2020
ReplyAs Jimmy Carr skit. You can say that! Its facist. His reply:No YOU ARE FATTEST!
ReplyFINALLY someone liberal is bringing up what we’ve been saying for a year.
ReplyThe U.S. is 5% of the world’s population, but consumes 50% of the global pharmaceutical output. We’ve been taught to believe every “cure” comes in a pill or jab. Two generations ago, your doctor would start by asking what you had for breakfast.
ReplyTHE FACTS 💯🙌🏼👏🏼
Reply…but over 73% of adults in the US are overweight or obese. Yeah 78% is a little higher, but “by far the most pertinent factor” seems like que the stretch. Also correlation is obviously not causation.
ReplyThis is great news, you are as always on target Bill.
ReplyA LOT of Monday morning quarterbacking here, Bill. For example, wiping down surfaces at the beginning of the pandemic was the correct thing to do, because WE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH.
Also, there is more to just worrying about and protecting yourself here, because we should want to protect others, too.
ReplyThis was late but needed, I think we can assume anyone who is saying this was BS is either a Russian or Chinese troll. I’ll even let the “he said to drink bleach” slide.
ReplyDon’t want politics mixed in with any of my other decisions either.
Reply75% were obese? Hm, what does that mean? is that more than the average of the corresponding age class? 🙂
Reply(sorry but I am a statistics nazi)
“I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions”…. That’s a good one Bill… Made me LOL, not what it says, but that YOU said it :p
ReplyMeh. Rates a meh. Yeah Bill you don’t like kids so being extra cautious is unreasonable.
ReplyMeh.
Bill you are really great, not a comedian mainly, but a thinker.
ReplyPreach!
ReplyHey Bill. Stop contributing to misinformation. Trump never said to ingest bleach.
ReplyHe’s right abt Vit D, sun & air. It matters, a lot. I’m from Vermont, I would know. All the idiots ran to MY STATE where we would’ve had zero if they had locked them out.
ReplyIt’s likely a sign of the Apocalypse when the Like:Dislike ratio of approximately 20:1 on this Bill Maher video may very well be warranting the hearing of the inconceivably unthinkable escaping the lips of Americans at this particular juncture of space and time:
“Thank God for Bill Maher!”
I must be going insane.
But, I must tell you:
I Love It.
I’ve been swimming through raw sewage;
I Love It.
I Love It
A LO’!!!
😊😊😊
ReplyIf conservatives believed in climate change and dropped the religious bullsh*t, I’d switch parties in a heartbeat…instead, gotta stick with the side that freaks out if you tell a fat person to eat a salad.
ReplySo Bill Maher finally gets a brain and figures out what conservatives knew all along…
ReplyActually, Bill is such a goofball that he doesn’t realize that it is him and his liberal buddies who pushed this feel-good everybody-is-a-winner nonsense for the last couple of decades that lead to us not being able to point out that obesity is what makes COVID deadly for some.
This is a bit misleading… The one comment that was real though was “I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions”.
ReplySounding more and more like a Republican. Glad to see you’re smartening up.
ReplyPeople are so dumb that you couldn’t find a roll of toilet paper anywhere, but there was no shortage of fruit and vegetables.
ReplyPeople couldn’t figure out how to wipe themselves without toilet paper and it was the apocalypse. I actually had to post links to add-on toilet bidets on Amazon so goofballs I went to high school with wouldn’t kill themselves from desperation.
And yet the very things that would keep people from getting sick in the first place, or allow them to recover quickly if they did… fruits and vegetables… were in abundant supply everywhere.
If you want to blame someone, blame fast food companies fattening up all the Americans. Can’t feel sorry for these deaths if these people cared more about the calories they consume than their own health. Pandemic sure showed the outcome. Imagine if 78% of our population weren’t obese, think of all the lives that would be alive today and the extra lives if Cuomo didn’t sacrifice them in the nursing homes.
ReplyLiberals are NOT the “party of science” when they support male bodies competing against female bodies in sport. Testosterone is not a sufficient measure to use to gauge any supposed justice in males’ bodies participating against female bodies. Male bodies are physiologically different from female bodies, regardless of testosterone suppression. This is a biological fact. Male advantages in sport over females with references:
Upper body strength Lassek+Gaulin 2009,
Taller bodies Alexander et al. 1979,
Lower body fat advantage in vertical jump height, Abidin + Adam, 2013
Heavier bodies Loomba-Albrecht+Styne 2009,

Just how big is this performance gap between male bodies and female bodies?
Karsten Braasch, a male tennis player ranked 230th in the world, beat the Williams sisters in their prime in straight sets.
The fastest female sprinter in the world is American runner Allyson Felix, a woman with more gold medals than Usain Bolt. Her lifetime best for the 400-meter run is 49.26 seconds. Based on 2018 data, nearly 300 high-school boys in the U.S. alone could beat it.
TITLE IX is effectively erased by this policy, as we are seeing in the case of the two biological males who have won 17 state titles in CT in girls’ track.
This trans-supportive policy does not survive scientific criticism. It is a fashionable fiction.
RESPECT SCIENCE AND THE FACTS!
How dare you privilege male “feelings” over women’s hard-won rights and safety!
ReplyI just happened to watch this episode bc I wanted to watch the Sharon Osbourne interview. So I watched the entire show. I am not on the same side of the political spectrum as most of u. However, I find Bill has moments of clarity that I agree with him on. This one in particular. Btw, not all conservatives are a bunch of idiots as he claims. As a former liberal democrat, I can vouch for that. I just happened to hv realized that the democrat party no longer was the party that my parents were part of or the party of 25 years ago. And, no, I didn’t buy bleaching my food or drinking it. And I think Bill will be shocked there are more conservatives like Ron DeSantis, who can “ read” and look at facts. And?? Do believe in climate change!! Only realistically and not like that moron AOC or that hypocrite Kerry who flies around in his private jet polluting the air while telling me to spend $6 a gallon on gas and turn my thermostat up to 80 in the summer, while he can still enjoy all his luxuries. Nope. Bill can make his excuses all he wants saying how happy he is having people like him running our country. The same that run our media and states like NY and his state CA and all the Blue states that instill fear about Covid! A virus that has a 99.9% survival rate if you are under 60. 69-69? 99.8%! 70+? 94.5%! And yet we are told this is the Bubonic Plague! Sorry, it’s not. People were alive in the morning and dead by evening. If it were that bad we wud hv had mass graves. Masks don’t work! It’s a joke people wearing them outside. Fauci is a joke telling all of u to get vaccinated and then still wear a mask ! He wears two!! And still social distance. And sorry to break it to Bill, we did think we got Covid if one was asymptomatic!! I got Covid and thought I got it from my neighbor. She was really the only one I was hanging out with. And I survived Covid and just turned 70. Why? Bc I’m in pretty good health. Not obese. I knew two women, one 80 and one 85. Both survived. My friends mom, 95 survived. So what the media reported are lies. The truth is 6% really died of Covid. They put Covid down if u died of a heart attack and then saw u had Covid. And I’m not getting the vaccine. Once u hv had Covid, u are immune and I can’t give it to u. And Fauci and the rest of them hv no idea about these variants. They change their story everyday. Bill is right! Take Vitamin D!
ReplyUnfortunately, oversimplification is its own form of prevarication. Particularly when it is done for applause.
ReplyGotta agree here. Liberals got too comfortable with the belief that if it’s the opposite of trump, its correct. and they expanded it to if its the opposite of conservatives, it’s correct. I’m a liberal that has to remind my liberals friends that they can also be wrong. They’ll often make some snooty point that isn’t fully true while they clutch their energy crystals and it’s just like broooo you are why we get called out.
Misinformation doesn’t care about your political leaning. They care about your ability to be fooled. and everyone can be fooled if they aren’t careful.
ReplyI can’t tell if he’s trying to be funny or interesting anymore. His panel discussions are the only redeeming quality of his show.
ReplyThank you, Bill Maher.
Reply“I don’t want politics mixed in my medical news”….awesome!
ReplyThe truth is that the medical establishment has been forced to underplay the severity of the pandemic. Scared straight? You haven’t been paying much attention if you think that they are pushing too hard.
As to the hospitalisation statistics, those are simply not reported much, and they are unimportant for the average American, who has to pay attention to the number of infections, not the number of hospitalisations. Each infection is a defeat, giving the virus millions of chances to mutate, whether it leads to a hospitalisation or not.
The climate change denial is a good example: the experts have never been straight about the risks and the severity because no one wanted to hear it. And the still don’t want to hear it.
ReplyDay late and a dollar short, Bill. You made your bed in this leftist hysteria, now you can wallow in it.
ReplyWhen something like COVID breaks out, there is a tendency for people to expect the medical community, the experts, to have all the answers right away. They don’t. They provide guidance on what they learn, and may have to correct and walk back things said as they learn more. Same goes for the media…except for the walking back and correcting thing…not so much…including Bill.
ReplyDoctors don’t amass a lavish lifestyle by treating well people. I can’t imagine they are impressed by the idea of “preventive medicine”. They well know that huge amounts of $$$ will be redirected if people are healthier. An empty waiting room must be many an MD’s nightmare. Btw, the much touted vaccines are not examples of preventive medicine. This society still favors Coca Cola over pure water so doctors need not worry about us getting too healthy to support them.
ReplyJesus Christ the constant clapping is extremely annoying. The viewers hate it. Stop fuckin clapping every 2 words

ReplyLots of nervous laughter/applause for his facts
ReplyLOVE THIS.
ReplyCan he run for president already? We need truthful competent people in government again. Not career mongering fakes. Someone needs to combat this sensitive woke cancel culture as well as denial of science. There are demons on both sides that need some serious exorcising.
ReplyLove this! If you maintain your weight and get plenty of vitamin D, C and Zinc, Covid is no more dangerous than the flu.
ReplyThey want to blame the large percentage of blacks getting Covid on racism. Morbid obesity and Type 2 diabetes in the black community is rampant.
ReplyThere goes Bill making too much sense for liberals again. The applause (or lack thereof at times) spoke volumes.
ReplyThere’s a huge difference between a “lie” and a mistaken guess.
ReplyIt’s clear bill misses the road is it money or just the need for applause. To give that guy in Florida any props is just wrong
ReplyTrump wasn’t incompetent, he was the best U.S. President since Abraham Lincoln 🇺🇲
ReplyWhat we have in the Whitehouse right now is the epitome of incompetence and weakness.
Watch it Bill. You tube doesn’t like liberal narratives being challenged.
ReplyIf you disliked this video, you’re in the wrong
ReplyBravo again Bill. Maher 2024.
ReplyThe pandemic was created to get people to stay inside so the Dems could steal the election. The more we learn about it the more apparent it becomes.
ReplyThe tepid applause is underwhelming.
ReplyWell said. Nutrition, getting sun, and getting outdoors is the best thing for the immune system and that should have been the focus this whole time.

ReplyBravo Bill Maher! You are absolutely right!
ReplyA lot of bullshit in this video. More than half a million dead. Why the fuck I care about other numbers?
ReplyKid can get covid and kid can pass covid to parents. At the moment closing school is still the best option.
By God Billy boy you said something smart. LOL
ReplyAMEN BILL ! AMEN ! thank you for speaking the truth when its not convenient
ReplyTrump didn’t say drink bleach. He was talking about disinfectant in medical term e.g. An agent, such as heat, radiation, or a chemical, that destroys, neutralizes, or inhibits the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms. Not bleach.
ReplyI agree with Bill for the most part. My only critique is that 74% of Americans are overweight or obese. So how much of a factor is it really? I’m not some fat positive person, quite the contrary. Being fat is a huge negative health factor in other things, but covid? Someone correct me here if I’m wrong…
ReplyBill you are 8 months late! To any on to the right of the left this was news 8 months ago. And this audience are all sheep.
ReplySome of the best commentary on COVID to date. Thanks, Bill.
ReplyYou lost me at “Trump’s incompetence,” which is, btw, a LIE, as is the bleach b.s., et al to do with Pres. Trump. So, as you said, with those lies comes a lose of trust, and you lost mine, again, after having been willing to give you yet another chance to say something completely, instead of only partially, intelligent. It seems for all your “brains,” you can still be duped by misinformation.
ReplyThank you for speaking the truth.
ReplyListen to the Maher minions clap for DeSantis. Okkkk👌
ReplyBravo 👏🏻!
ReplyTrump saved lives you moron !!! The writers of 2 1/2 Men sure had your personality nailed!
ReplySo you don’t understand mutation. Neat.
ReplyWait I just realised, if obesity is the number one factor predicting serious covid complications… that is a mighty coincidental aspect of a virus that happened to spring up near a virology lab in china. What would cause the most destruction to an american population vs china? A virus that killed obese people.
ReplyBill’s statements were/are true, exactly one year ago.
ReplyNice to see a liberal wake up.
ReplyA real patriot thank you Bill Maher.
ReplyRemember when masks could “spread covid faster because people adjust their masks?”
ReplyBoy for someone who hates trump he sure sounds like a republican
ReplyBill u believed the whole trump was a Russia spy crap
ReplyTrump DID NOT say we should ingest household disinfectants. Bill Maher: Find where Trump said that. You can’t — because he didn’t. You must issue a public apology!
ReplyI so agree with the entertainment news selling fear and bc I know how powerful thoughts and feeling states are they should be held accountable in some way. I trust this a lesson about where we put our faith beyond our own knowing. We are such powerful creators.
ReplyIvermectin is never discussed in the entertainment news and it is successfully getting people off of respirators. It is a nobel prize winning drug that is also helping people with longterm covid symptoms. It was created by Merck to fight parasites decades ago. It is out of patent .. not sure if this is the reason or why. Other countries have embraced it with I Mask Protocol that recommends how to boost your immune system in conjunction with it’s use as a prophylaxis or treatment.
I trust where this all leading bc we are divinely loved and supported 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 Cheers to Bill for ripping the bandaid off to allow us to see other aspects ☀️🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for being honest
ReplyYES, so glad to have you saying this!
ReplyI could almost agree with you except, you comment that Trump was some how incompetent and yet who would have been anymore competent?, Biden? Give me a break. The blame game only lives in incompetency of the Chinese government and WHO.
ReplyYeah thought you were going some place educated ! Then you turned into a liberal idiot again … he’s coming back lol 😆
ReplyMaher had some valid points but he left out an important one. There are valid preventatives and treatments that were known about since the early fall but were suppressed in the US by health officials and social media. For example vitamin d and zinc. Hydroxychloroquine, steroid, antibiotic multi drug treatment. And the synthetic antibody infusions. My family members that had Covid did either the multi drug treatment or the infusion and we all came thru just fine. My state actually forbid the multi drug approach and I had to get a prescription from my doctor who practices in another state.
ReplyFinally! Someone speaking the TRUTH!
ReplyThank god someone like Bill speaks out about this.
ReplyGod this man is annoying… he is partly right tho. People on the left do act with an abundance of caution that is not necessarily fully warranted. But the dangers of being overly concerned are no where near comparable to the dangers of not being concerned enough. You are mad at democrats for OVER estimating how many people get hospitalized but its the people UNDER estimating Covid that are the reason so many people are hospitalized in the first place. The two are not the same. Once again its just Bill looking for hypocrisy on the side holding the more popular belief… because at the end of the day that’s all Bill is; a contrarian. Add to that the idiotic take that Florida did better than New York because they had a better governor or less restrictions. So your just going to ignore that Florida has sun all year long (which we know kills the virus), has a less dense population & New York was hit hardest during the early days of the pandemic when we knew the least on how to treat it. We killed a ton of people there just by using ventilators & other treatments that didn’t really help like we thought they did. Also, your going to ignore that Florida has MORE cases than New York & is one of only a few states that currently has RISING cases?! Nothing?! Literally NO ONE said it was the end of the world… liberals have said to take it serious and follow the temporary guidelines… that’s it. And conservatives couldn’t even do that. Talking about obesity has NOTHING…. NOTHINGGGGGGG… to do with liberals or conservatives. The reason it isn’t brought up as much is because its not PREVENTATIVE… its just a way to get better outcomes. So the best way to stop this is to stop people from getting it in the first place… not by trying to make every person in the country healthy enough to survive it. LONG TERM that should be the goal… but here & now DURING THE PANDEMIC we have to focus on treating it and preventing as many people from getting it as possible. Telling them to lose weight isn’t going to do that you colossal idiot. This take wasn’t even close to intelligent. IDK if he wrote it, but if not, fire the writers. Immediately.
ReplyThose are definitely ‘facts’ but they’re so obviously stacked, that if youtube were a casino, Billy boy would pulled off the gaming floor before he could even light his first joint….
ReplyI don’t get what’s so wrong about being overprotective the worse thing we can get is oh we were wrong but its passed now, while being under protective will lead to more cases and yes possibly deaths
ReplyMost medical conditions are a result of lack of nutrition. Vitamins D, C and Quercitin help against getting viruses including Covid. Dr Joel Wallach and Peter Glidden are great sources of what nutrients or lack thereof correlate to particular diseases. Medical doctors are not trained in this area. So you to go outside the medical establishment to naturopaths.
ReplyWhat about NOVEL coronavirus don’t you get? At first it wasn’t known how it spread, so caution was in order. Teachers aren’t kids, an d schools need them. (Kids go home to al=dults too.) Florida got infested well after New York so more was known on how to treat it. If everyone had followed the CDC guidelines, the shutdowns would have been avoided. I don’t like politics mixed in either, but pay attention to all the facts!
ReplyHoly hell, Bill Maher didn’t come across as a pathetic sycopant for the first time in almost 20 years, and in the process only got two things wrong (there’s still no evidence of asymptomatic transmission being an issue, and Trump didn’t actually say to ingest or inject bleach)… I’m legitimately impressed! I used to be a fan, but thought he jumped the shark and lost all reason in favour of ideology years ago, but maybe I was wrong about him!
ReplyTexas reopened not because of science but because of politics. Hindsight is 20/20. This was/is a never before seen virus, there was a lot to be afraid of. 500k dead, sunshine and wind didn’t do shit for them.
ReplyA lot of agreement. But also, when you see what’s happening in India, or even Canada, and elsewhere, with doctors overworked and hospitals under pressure, (and in Canada many front like workers aren’t even prioritized for the vaccine), then you feel some sympathy for doctors main priority being hospital admission reductions.
ReplyAll right hold on. Do you actually expect us to believe that the percentage of hospitalized American covid patients who are overweight or obese equals the percentage of Americans who are overweight or obese???!
ReplyGreat job Bill, better late than never to jump off the crazy train, partisan hackery is bringing in a dystopia, and the comedians (even the partisan ones that are not totally bought out ) are starting to see it. …good!
ReplyMay have took a year with Covid, but they can’t ignore reality forever.
ReplyRight on Bill Maher. Such a voice of reasonableness in a sea bullshit. Why are there so many morons on the extreme right and left?
ReplyIt’s good to see Maher come to his senses. Maybe the left will get a clue now. I’m to the left and I have lost several friendships because there was no reasoning with some of my friends. They march in lockstep with CNN and MSNBC.
ReplyI’m a libertarian that disagrees with Bill almost as much as I agree with him but thank goodness he has the stones to acknowledge logic and truth.
ReplyThe rate of hospitalation has come down due to masking, vaccine, and social distancing. Now the mutant strains are occurring even in the sunshine. Brazil and south Africa are very sunny places dumb ass DUH! No wonder your ratings are tanking.
ReplyTook this pussy long enough. He’s part of the club as George Carlin would say.
ReplyI wonder if the CDC were to look into it, if they might not discover that barely 1/10th of hospitalized covid patients were left-handed.
ReplyGood to see now the liberals will start to join everyone else they called idiots for the past year in not wearing a dumb mask anymore. I’m sure they’ll all apologize for their rudeness.
ReplyComing from a guys who still thinks that Russiagate is real this segment sure feels ironic. I don’t think this is left or right issue. I think all Americans live in a fantasy world and make decisions based on very little actual data. That includes Bill Maher too.
ReplyYou don’t want politics mixed in with your medical decisions, huh? Well, say goodbye to single payer healthcare, then.
ReplyI a Republican and I love bill
ReplyThank you
ReplyRemember to wipe your knob before administering vitamin D.
ReplyTut tut – it went down because they got outside – really – you think that’s a fact – please!
ReplyYeah, you lose peoples trust because you spew bs you thought was a rational thought when you were coked out and then just sweep it under the rug next episode because hey, you’re just an entertainer hungry for an audience.
ReplyFact, D Peter Navaro recommended Trump China travel ban , saving millions.
ReplyToday I agree with You.. This is almost there same thing in my mind. The Virus might exist but not as worst as such Liberal media postings. Believe it or not now in my country every single patients who willing to have medical treatment in Hospital they must sign Declaration Corona Virus which is mean without diagnostic the patients are Covid19 automatically. My uncle he always chocking died in the house without have medical treatment in hospital because of that. If my uncle died in hospital probably the family can’t take his body because of Covid19. He have to buried following the protocol.
ReplyThis section will appear in fox news
ReplyYeah, and 70-80% of those deaths could have been prevented if they would have allowed early outpatient treatment with the Zelenko protocol. COVID didn’t kill those people. People like Fauci and Cuomo did
ReplyThe issue with opening schools is that those kids have parents and grandparents at home, not that the kids get sick
ReplyI consider this statement positively dangerous for public health! If warmth and sunlight are so crucial, why is the death rate in Brazil, one of the hottest countries in the world, the highest in the world? And South Africa, also not a cold country, has also “given” us a dangerous mutation! This argument is just a reprise of what Trump said a year ago – in April, it would “just go away.” And here we are, one year and more than half a million deaths later! Thumbs down!
ReplyHow much you wanna bet that Maher does not say one word about Maxine Waters efforts to incite all out mayhem and burning and looting and murder( blm) in the event of a not guilty verdict in the Chauvin trial ? The Capitol protest he could not keep his diaherria of the mouth under control because it involved bashing Trump ,, but as he is anti all that represents good and is a staunch supporter of lawlessness this moron Maher will not say one word ,, he will keep on running his mouth in support of anti America rebellious bullshit ,,,,
Replythank you BIll finally ..
Replysuper . you got it .
Replysure, but these instances of correlation of obesity does not say it all. As an Italian/American living in northern Italy, we saw a generation of people in Bergamo die from Covid. It had nothing to do about their weight or whether they had enough vitamin D or a healthy immune system. We still don’t know the long term effects of Covid. Once it becomes widespread in a town the only way to make it stop had been to stay in quarantine; hopefully when we are all vaccinated there will be less deaths. For sure, we have learned a lot over the year – the experts have made mistakes too in protocols but I do have to say that the Chinese government should have been transparent about how dangerous it would be to the world economies, not just people. I do believe that the government of China bears a debt to the world for not clearly locking down international travel and issuing strong warnings much earlier in Covid’s timeframe. Hindsight 2020. LOL.
ReplyTrump never said we should ingest disinfectants. 🙄 He was talking about *light*, and that research turned out promising indeed.
ReplyCome on bill, Democratic feelings count as much as numbers too. Especially if the facts are racist.
ReplyBill, the fact is Desatan under reported Florida’s numbers…you must have forgotten the report about the whistleblower or do you not read?
ReplyRecognition of the effects of obesity, advocating for personal responsibility, acknowledging actual science, familiarity with real risk and statistics.
ReplyAll this needs to stop now!. Cancel Bill Maher I Tells ya!!
Ironic that in a speech about telling the truth he repeats the lie that Trump said to ingest disinfectants. Trump said that doctors were looking into ways to disinfect the body from the inside, which was true. He turned and asked the medical team that was present to confirm it. It was the media and guys like Maher who then turned it into a joke and claimed that he said to drink bleach.
ReplyThank you
ReplyTruth teller, so refreshing
ReplySurvival rate 99.6% lies to push an agenda
ReplyTrump never said we should ingest household cleaners :/ I really hope Bill meant that entirely as a joke because the media ran with that like it was 100% facts when it was a total lie, and in hindsight with all we know about Covid now…. I’d say it’s safer to say that democratic governors did far more harm to people then Trump did when it came to handling the “pandemic”, otherwise great piece by Bill.
ReplyExcellent point Bill! Government should not be telling us what to do with our own health. This is America.
ReplyConfused how lockdowns are an idea of the left when other countries are still participating in them. Like the uk has a conservative prime minister and they have been in lockdown for months.
ReplyThank you Bill…for thinking critically and speaking truth. If only the general public would stop being so blindly obedient and willfully ignorant!
ReplyBill is turning into a selfish, boring, old man.
ReplyI dont like Bill. But when he gets it right, he REALLY gets it right. Thank you for that. I feel vindicated for all ot the time I spent in Facebook jail for saying what you just said. Thanks again.
ReplySo when are liberals going to apologize for calling people granny killers because we wouldn’t stay locked in our homes like morons? Oh wait that won’t ever happen. They still haven’t apologized for calling Vietnam Vets baby killers. The only baby killers I know of are pro late term abortion liberals.
Reply…Judge Jeanine in funnier… Bill should get a regular show on Fox News…
ReplyBidens covid expert stated people get the flu in the winter because people in their homes ? So why the lockdowns?
ReplyTrump did not say that about bleach!! Stop lying like the MSM. You are no different!!! People died because of the lockdowns with a virus!!! Governors controlled their state, not trump!!! Cuomo said dont go to the beach!!! Vitamin D deficiency helped kill many as with every virus!!!!! What exactly did trump do to kill people? No one has answered that. Fauxi was making the decisions based on the WHO and china. Fauxi and birx held many press conferences side by side with trump!!! Trump pushed vaccine with fauxi!
ReplyStates listened to fauxi and cdc that’s why people died!! And (healthy) people and kids still listening and wearing stupid useless face coverings!!!! Trump did not push this and guess what??? People still died
ReplyTrump said open up, trump said open the schools!!! Guess what? racist beiden now says open schools one day a week!!! Lmao..Florida and many other schools have been open dumb ass!!!! Even fauxi said open schools!!!!
ReplyWhat took billy so long???? Tired of being locked down?
ReplyYes yes yes!!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Replyfinally…
ReplyAt the end of the day, 85 million people are fully vaccinated, to this day, we had 81 million cases. By those numbers alone, we should consider this covid shit over with. Also, the death rate of this virus is .0017 percent. This shit was a farce.
ReplyNature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes.
Reply“If we had not known about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to “influenza-like illness” would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average.”
-Dr. John P. A. Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine of Health Research and Policy and of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University School of Medicine and Professor of Statistics at Stanford University School of Humanities and Sciences
Reply100 million people die globally in 2020.
Reply2% was Covid related.
The science institute of a German health insurance checked their data and concluded that a fourth of the population has high risk for a severe case of covid19. Statistics also show that the percentage among those confirmed positive covid19 fluctuates greatly depending on their age. For some age group the risk is reverse. You are extremely likely to end up in hospital. Those 5% risk clearly is open for interpretation. Is it 5% of the population or 5% of those tested positive and if so what is the demographic and age of those in that subset of people.
Reply5% of 31.8 M people infected is still nearly 1.6 million Americans hospitalized in a single year. Additionally that coupled with the 567k Americans who died in that same time, it’s a big deal for more reasons than just being afraid of catching the disease. Bill is showing graphs about what Democrats thought about how many people were hospitalized… who cares? Show me a media segment that stated 40% of people infected end up in the hospital. If you can’t do that, this segment is right wing propaganda. TX covid rates went down because nearly half the state is vaccinated and its a by-in-large a rural state. Politics are mixed in with our healthcare decisions already but I suppose doing a segment on which HCP paid which Senator to strip away more coverage from consumers isn’t as sexy as this.
ReplyIt has always been about power and control, especially in blue states, only your benevolent Big Brother can save you from the plague
ReplyTrump never said to “inject a disinfectant” into the body. He spoke of ultraviolet light, which was at the time, a newer technology that has since been proven to be effective & asked if that can be directed inside the body. When he mentioned how a disinfectant knocks out covid inside of a minute, he said “is there a way we can do something LIKE that”. Of course, this will be taken out of context to poke fun someone who has different political views but isn’t it time to work together?
Let’s NOT promote a unity where you must agree with the majority and abandon your own concerns in order to unite. We must consider how to respect opposing views and look for compromise from both sides and come to an understanding that both wants improvement. When 1 side has total control & refuses to work with the other, it tends to swing to the other side in future elections. I don’t think this is what we want. Is it?
ReplyI watched Bill Maher twenty years ago on Politically Incorrect his television show. I thought he was a smart, humourous and talented host. I think he is showing his true colours especially now as he sees America and the world are in trouble and is speaking truth to power. Good for you Mr. Maher I always knew you were a good guy at heart.
ReplyHey now magazines are telling us to view “body positivity” in a good light.
Reply7:14 Really! Yes, obesity is a major factor but you don’t get rid of obesity and its health risks with in a month or two and not even a year, when the food industry is a major bad actor in the whole affair. A radical diet to loose weight in times of a pandemic doesn’t help one bit because diets are stress for the body and health benefits of diets take time. The virus will have caught up with you in the meantime.
As for the sun being a factor. Did Maher pay attention to the first wave or major outbreaks in sunny Africa? Dropping the mandate in Texas coincided with vaccination and a population still scared of the virus. So is it cause and effect or simply a coincidence?
ReplyAWESOME TRUTH ABOUT COVID….UNTIL YOU LIED ABOUT TRUMP!!!
ReplyA year late to the party, Bill.
Reply“I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions”. Yet still manages to inject plenty of politics.
ReplyBrilliant as usual
ReplyStephanie Power Guelph ontario.
If all Democrats were like Bill they would not be fucked like they are now.
ReplyWhat an utter impostor. He knows there is an overall scheme to digitally control every man, woman, child animal and blade of grass by 2030. If he reads surely he has read the Rockefeller Foundations Scenario for the Future in Technology and Development, or the Deagel forecasts of a 70% reduction of the US population by 2025 (four years away) He is part of it – the eugenicist’s agenda for the 21st century. People in the audience are considered nothing but useless eaters. Maher titillates their funny bones while they are being systematically worn down energetically and even laugh at their impending fate. Oh what a stage is life! There is an overall plan, Maher is one of the jesters that keeps the useless eaters laughing at their slaugher. Jesters are loved by the usurpers. Jesters are not taken down like real truth tellers even though they disparage the usurpers. Such irony, the audience laughing at their rulers yet they continue to bend over at the slightest mandate. When are people going to grow a pair.
ReplySay it, Bill! As a Public Health Nutritionist, I find it most interesting that the public can consistently put on a mask and stand 6’ apart. These are clearly much easier actions to take in the name of health than consuming 5 or more servings of fruit & vegetables every day or exercising for 30 minutes 5 times a week.
ReplyBoy that decades long campaign to fatten us up….worked well.
ReplyUndernourishment is a risk for COVID-19 fatality globally. (A quick search led me to a Jan 2021 article in Frontiers of Nutrition.) Health and nutrition are important, beyond admonition of Little Debbie. Clever point, nonetheless. Too bad risk factors for vaccine adverse reactions can’t be researched. You can’t research something that isn’t allowed to exist! Power to “do good” – by those given the authority to represent “the good” – intoxicates the rational mind.
ReplyThis isn’t even touching the effects to mental health, suicides, violence, theft, ect. Also doesn’t even cover the lockdowns that were detrimental to the Native American tribes. Look into what they did and the death rates that came from it. You think what happened in NY was bad?
ReplyI never fully agree with Maher but for the most part in this segment I do.
TOO LITTLE… TOO LATE Bill.
ReplyWhere were you a year ago Hypocrite? Playing the same Agenda?
You’ve already lost your credibility.
global warming is still a hoax. We got record braking freeze for years lol
ReplySorry, but I won’t be taking medical advice from an entertainer or you tube commenters.
ReplyDid the sun not come out last summer? This is a bunch of bullshit. Don’t take medical advice from a comedian.
Reply“We would literally rather die”. No, they’d rather WE die.
ReplyWhoa, great finale, Little Debbie.
ReplyQuarantine did more damage to our health than actually getting back out into the real world and running the chance of getting COVID would ever do. Mental health, domestic abuse, suicides, alcohol abuse, increased poverty are just a few of the things that came from lockdowns.
Replyyep heaven forbid we tell people that losing weight is more than just for your looks, it could literally help save your life
ReplyAmericans think being overweight is “normal” and “fine” just because it’s too easy to become overweight. They feel like they have no control over it. That’s why they get so mad about it.
ReplyWhy hasn’t this been removed from youtube?
ReplyAnother “stopped clock is right twice a day” moment from Bill Maher. Kudos!
Replysurprising honesty, much appreciated. It only took over a year..
ReplyI distinctly remember obesity being made very clear as a comorbidity for covid. As well as having diabetes and high blood pressure.
ReplyDisagree with a lot of this but still a thumbs up for the sorely needed liberal wake up call
ReplyAt this point, Bill Maher is an Independent. But he does not know it.
ReplyStarting to like Bill more and more
ReplyIt’s so dissapointing how everything has been politicized. left or right it has to stop. some problems need solving and nothing more. Bill is right…heaven forbid we discuss obesity and hurt feelings. personal responsibility hurts people’s feelings.
ReplyYes, because a child sex trafficking ring run by Hillary Clinton under a pizza place is the same as being overly cautious about a NOVEL virus. This is Ted Cruz level false equivalence. GTFOH and STFU.
ReplyI’m so glad Trump is gone so Bill can get back to focusing on the BS from both sides.
ReplyWell, democrats also have a greatly exaggerated view of themselves… so there’s that. *shrugs*
ReplyWell-said Bill. Exercise, fresh air and outdoor activities. And weight management.
ReplyYou were part of the fearmongering liberal media bubble…
ReplyBill Maher a sleeper?
ReplyNothing would surprise me.
Wow I guess liberals can be sane after all the right wing media made me think they were nuts. Every man stands on his own.
ReplyHe’s completely full of shit. HIs show is now full of half-truths and straw men. He has minimal understanding of basic science and he’s becoming a first-rate crank.
ReplyHe’s also an Anti-Vaxxer nut job.
ReplyThere is actually a lot about this assessment that is suspect and misleading. There were plenty of doctors and scientists speaking rationally about the situation. HOWEVER, because there were/are so many unknowns, the data had to be gathered and interpreted. Yes, I think most people would have loved to keep the politicians out of the mix, but that’s not realistic when there has to be a state-wide and federal approach to dealing with the event.
We did not do well with this. I think we do even more poorly with the next one. Maher’s generalizations and evaluations are simplistic.
ReplyBill is all about facts . Liberal need to take responsibility just as much as GOP . Call it like you see it Bill .
Replythis is some the guy who believes that science learns, and he is annoyed that only now after a year has the medical and scientific community have found out that surfaces aren’t the problems
ReplySpot on. BRAVO BILL!!!!!
ReplyThe media has been lying about a lot more than just covid.
Reply60k new Covid cases a day is good?
ReplyYou helped create this powerful corrupt machine; you are also responsible for what is happening now. We are in the hands of socialist, tyrants now, and on the way to communism.
ReplyIt is too late now.
😏 It only took 2800+ research papers saying Covid is due to a Vitamin D deficiency for us to get it.
ReplyThis ish is man made bill I don’t approve this message
Reply🤣 “…unfortunately the murderer was already in the house, and her name is Little Debbie!” Speaking the truth Mr. Maher as only you can.
ReplyThe “Panic Porn” is hilarious but oh so true. I stopped watching the news ions ago.
ReplyI believe in rational thinking and science, and this is why the United States of America needs more than two choices in the political party.
ReplyBill, just curious, have you gotten the vaccine? Do you wear a mask and distance? Not asking for Politics, asking for Science.
ReplyYou lost me at DeSantis, he is a jackass
ReplyPreach it Bill
ReplyYou lost me when you said DeSantis had a brain and reads, now that is funny, he is a bag of hot air
Replyi normally can’t stand bill mahr but he’s spot on here
ReplyLike a lot of comedians, he has some great insights, but delivers them with a tad too much arrogance, vanity, and bad taste. I want so much to turn friends onto his verbage but he comes off like a lonely, sarcastic ass.
ReplyOh shut up Bill. Kids in school can spread it to others! & Texas numbers went down cuz Texas stopped counting & Testing for all the new cases. You are a comedian & I dont want my medical advise from YOU!!!
ReplyYou started this propaganda lying shit libtards…own it!

ReplyLike Pear Cider That’s Made From 100% Pears.
ReplyLet’s not forget that this isn’t an american thing. It’s a GLOBAL pandemic. And go to most other countries and see how many obese people you find. BUT there are people dying from covid or suffering after effects. So it ain’t all about the chubsters, Bill
ReplyLove Bill. He’s as good as he’s ever been
Replycareful bill you are sounding alot like orange man with your facts. where the fuq were you last year
ReplyDemocrats love authority. Science by polls.
ReplyTrump never said ingest bleach.
ReplyMisleading to say 78% have been overweight. How many were actually obese? There’s plenty of evidence that almost all the claimed harms come from having a BMI over 30. If you look at death rate curves you find there is a sweet spot around something like 22 or 23. Below and above that your overall mortality rate goes up. But here’s the key thing – having a BMI in the 25-30 region is not necessarily much, or even any, worse than 18-21. Stop talking about overweight and obese together. Split them up so we can see reality.
So it’s quite amusing to have someone making a video about giving it to us straight where he uses one of the common lies – lumping overweight and obese together.
ReplyBill is correct. Trump lost because of the new coverage.
ReplySo where are these newscasts that say if you get covid there’s a least a 50% chance you will need to be hospitalized?
ReplyWow been a While since Bill got a 👍 from me!!!
ReplyAgree majority of time. This piece today, agree, NO.
ReplyAmen. You nailed it
Reply… and today, Texas is reporting above average numbers of covid-19 cases and deaths.
ReplyGod i hate how liberals see themselves
ReplyBASED!
ReplyWow! Maher doesn’t pull any punches. Finally, someone famous telling it exactly as it is. God bless him!
ReplyTrump never suggested consuming disinfectant. For someone currently criticizing people believing the media’s lying, you’re particularly not self aware when it comes to trump.
Reply🤣🤣🤣 right on, bill!👍
ReplyMisinfo. Although some good points about the politicisation of everything, the culprit wasn’t obesity it was the ventilators themselves. The other culprit has been age. 80% of deaths were 80 or older… That’s basically the world-wide avg.these people were going to die anyway. And now the CDC releases that 94% of the reported COVID were actually from other primary causes!!! A revision of the ‘comorbidity’ factoid
ReplyThank you

ReplyWhen I was young I use to listen to bill Maher I voted for bill Clinton now that I’m older I don’t hardly have a bill to my name after Obama and now the crook Biden joe probably should have been named bill
ReplyWelcome to common sense land Bill. Please check in with us over here from time to time. Both sides have some crazy ideas, but I find most of the common sense comes from us in the center-right region. It’s never to late to join us.
ReplyI cannot stand Bill Maher, but agreed with this segment.
ReplyAnyone who thinks Liberals are more in touch with science is completely out to lunch! It’s actually completely opposite. Liberals believe whatever funded/solicited study suits their narrative best. Especially on “Climate Change”. Ask any Liberal how much the atmosphere has increased in temperature, on average, over the last 150 years and you’ll get an outlandish response…like 20 degrees Celsius. That’s the summation of their understanding of “Science”
ReplyWhile I appreciate this video, where were you last year? Oh wait, this narrative was not in line with the politics of the time.
ReplyYou are right about numerous points in this video.
ReplyTrump was not “incompetent” at all – he did very well. More than 43% of all Covid deaths died in nursing homes, especially where Democrat (!) governors intentionally sent infected patients into those homes in the hopes of increasing the Covid death rate so they could blame Trump for it!
And please DROP THE CLIMATE HOAX PROPAGANDA!
I studied physics, I’ve followed the entire issue since the 1970s, when the great panic was all about GLOBAL COOLING!
There is no scientific evidence whatsoever about CO2 having an effect on the climate – there’s not even a correlation!
The earth has seen extremely hot temperatures with low CO2 and ice ages with high CO2 levels. Over the last 150 years, the hottest temperatures occurred around 1895, 1911 and the 1930s. Current temperatures are not even close.
100% of the climate alarmist “predictions” turned out to be wrong. Not marginally wrong, but radically wrong. Pacific Islands are not sinking into the ocean, their surfaces increased!
Snow did not disappear, we had multiple years with record snowfall – worldwide (IPCC prediction was “no more snow at lower altitutes”).
Polar ice is not melting – they used 1978 as reference year, which just happened to be a year with a very high Arctic ice level. Had they instead picked 1973 to 1975, there would be no noticeable drop. Arctic ice always varied. It was lower during the warming phase from 1920 to 1940.
The number of wildfires did not increase – just for the US, they were about 5-6 times worse before 1950 than they are now!
Globally, wildfires decreased substantially.
Globally, the only measurable effect of the slight increase in CO2 has been a GREENING of the planet, espially in arid regions.
It’s scary to say, but I agree with MOST of this monologue. I say most because he’s still wrong on Climate change and the obesity thing is another phony. I say that climate change, as being told to the public is a fraud. I have researched the issue at length, and yes, the climate is changing. It has in the past and will in the future. But the narrative being pout forward today is the same narrative that they used in the 1970s… only in reverse. Back then it was the same thing…Hydrocarbons are the boogie man, only then it was “the ozone layer is being depleted” and if we do not abolish cars tomorrow we will all die in the coming Ice age that will over run the planet by the year 2000.” Remember AL Gore and hoe the polar caps would be ice free by 2000?
The data never changed, only the fear mongering.
Then there is the obesity issue.
I was recently told that “overweight people cause health care costs to rise.” But I know a lot of people who (according to their family doctors) who are “overweight”, and yet other than periodic checkups the majority of those in my little circle of 40-50 “overweight” people, only 2 or 3 actually go to a doctor for anything other than routine check ups. If you qualify for the TV show “My 600lb Life” then yes you have a problem, but there are far too many uniformed and mal-informed people running around condemning those who fall outside “Normal” weight parameters by 20-30 lbs when in fact that 20-30 lbs is “normal” for those individuals. I once attempted to get my weight down to what the doctors told me I should weigh, and I did it by responsible diet and exercise, no fad diets and no starvation, and I actually made it down to 175, ten pounds above what the doctors told me was “healthy” and I was miserable, I was tired all the time I was in pain and my wife told me I looked like a concentration camp escapee. The reality is that there is NO perfect body, there is only what is “right” for you the individual.
Some obese people do have weight related issues, but to say that all or even a majority do, is just plain fantasy.
On the other hand there are those like “John T.” who I served with in the Army, who was the epitome of health, good physical conditioning, and low body fat, chiseled like Schwarzenegger in his prime. His father and two brothers had the same genes and all looked similar in body make up… and all needed triple coronary bypass surgery before they turned 40.
When I was in the military, 5’9″ and 190lbs, I was told that I needed to get down to 165lbs. But as I told the doctor I had not been 165lbs since Junior High. And yet that “fat” SGT that I was at the time routinely scored maximum test scores on my annual Army Physical Fitness tests and had a BMI of 10% far below the 22% I was allowed, but because some individuals who “knew better”, I was constantly harassed about my weight, not because I was “fat” but because to these people the numbers on the scale ruled out all other considerations.
Is obesity a problem in the U.S., sure it is, but an even bigger problem is the portion of society who don’t have a clue on the issue, but deem themselves worthy to be judge and jury for the rest.
ReplyBill, you are a Treasure. Thank you for your critical thinking.
ReplyThe chances of being hospitalized depends on the age of the person. An average risk that covers the entire population is meaningless. Young people? Almost never. Past 60? Over10% hospitalized rising to half by those who are 80+. So that’s a stupid question to ask. Also a lot of info was wrong because not even the experts understood covid when this got started.
Reply30 years in the research biz and my own search of OUTDOOR infection studies revealed zero realistic human OR animal studies of actual airborne disease transfer in medical history.
Literally none except theoretical ‘DNA traces detected’ in wind tunnels, ‘with no wind assumed’. Or tracing studies with a tiny % of all cases during activities ‘with some outdoor elements’. No wonder so many don’t believe in science or vaxes.
ReplyThis is Bill’s most important broadcast.
ReplyI can’t like this enough. Here in BC Canada the Liberal government banned indoor dining when the numbers got too high and the Green Party threw a hissy fit because they wanted a complete and total shutdown of all businesses because everyone knows you’re better protected from Covid when you can’t take your car to a shop or see a specialist for your back pain.
ReplyGlad to see Maher waking up!
ReplyThis clown gets something right every once in a while.
ReplyGreat stuff.
ReplyThe “medical community” don’t give a flying-F if you die, Bill! C’mon! I thought you were smarter than that. They want everyone SICK. As SICK AS POSSIBLE. So they can DRAIN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT (if you have one). You don’t? You die on a sidewalk or a gurney.
USA is great– at NOTHING BUT BULLSH*T, WAR, & MURDER OF IT’S OWN PEOPLE!
ReplyThank you. I appreciate your honesty.
ReplyToo little too late Bill you ass bag.
ReplyIt’s not true that 78% of Covid fatalities have been among the obese. Causal connection is very difficult to establish. More than 900,000 adult COVID-19 hospitalizations occurred in the United States between the beginning of the pandemic and November 18, 2020. Models estimate that 271,800 (30.2%) of these hospitalizations were attributed to obesity. https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/obesity-and-covid-19.html
Replynow that trump is gone I am glad he started to grow a dam brain.
ReplyBill pushing the bullshit about asymptomatic spread, which NEVER is a big factor in how a disease spreads. The experts have told us this from near the beginning when they saw all the fear porn and lies.
ReplyGiven his ongoing obsession with fat shaming, I’m just wondering how Bill explains the current Covid explosion in India – a country with one of the lowest obesity rates on the planet.
ReplyWell said. Plus you don’t have to be insensitive to encourage people to exercise and be healthier. We also need an education program on obesity for people who think that’s it’s all about food. It’s not. Junk food is not the only reason people are overweight or not in good health. There are many, many reasons. We can encourage healthy lifestyles without making assumptions or attacking people. Focus on the positives.
ReplyYou know people did not die because of Trump so stop. Most of what you say is on point but stop blaming Trump for everything. And he never said to drink bleach or wash fruits and vegetables with it. If you go to the actual speech and watch from beginning to end you’ll see that CNN and the like again put their lying ass spin on it. Maybe do your research into what President Trump did to help your country
ReplyAs bad as 87% panic porn in the U.S. is, in Canada its worse. Its 100% all the time.

ReplyInteresting, Maher is still wrong about asymptomatic people being infectious to others. And I can hardly wait for him to make his “how did we get climate change so effing wrong?”
ReplyI visited Texas last fall. They never closed.
ReplyI visited Texas last fall. They never closed. And as far as the number going down in Republican states, yes that is correct, those states stopped collecting data from various sources. NO data, NO high count.
ReplyMarr is such a liar. I don’t care if he tells the truth once in a while. He’s still a liar!
ReplyThis is hilarious.
Without a doubt the dumbest goddamn people I have ever met in my entire life are Democrats running around these days yelling at everyone about sCIeNCe behind their 4 masks.
And a lot of them are in this guy’s audience. I hope they paid attention.
The main lesson being here that the mainstream media knows their audience is stupid and will swallow whatever agenda they push. Wonder whatever else horseshit you have swallowed ? Russiagate anyone ??
ReplyClimate Change IS Man Made…it was made up by men to a further enslave an already enslaved population! Goethe- “None are more helplessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free”
ReplyI missed you yesterday on the greatest and only stoner holiday 🙁
ReplyWell, you had to add the customary crack about Trump’s incompetence, didn’t you, even if it made no sense. Well, I won’t hold it against you – this is a good way to avoid YouTube’s wrath.
ReplyFinally back to the Maher I liked to listen to growing up. Past two clips I have listened to are the best I have heard in over 4 years
ReplyHe’s about to be canceled
ReplyThank god someone is speaking some FACTS. It is about time FACTS were spoken in media. Now we just need FACTS to return to politics.
Replythat bled is an insult to blood , intentional obviously , she only didn’t calculate that it’s her tribal blood she served me as filth with food , the white nigga praised her for that , i saw them when they laughed when they served their blood as if it were shit
ReplyI don’t agree on everything with Bill but I admire his ability to call out BS wherever he sees it. This is probably the best and most honest monologue on Covid19 that I have seen. Everyone from the Right and Left should have to watch this. Bang on!

ReplyNice job Bill!
ReplyIt’s sad how conservative the pandemic has turned Bill… more dead in the US than the American soldiers who died in both world wars combined.
ReplyAmong all comedians in national tv, I like Bill Maher the most. But this one in particular is one I disagree in more than 70% of what he said.
ReplyHalf a million people died of it what do you want? 568K
And “Let the sun and wind do their thing?” What are you a witch doctor? Should we add power crystals and prayer there, Dr. Doolittle?
What’s your “scientific literature” source on that because that sounds a lot like a PH D in “Drunk Uncle at Thanksgiving.”
Why do they constantly cherry-pick Florida and California? How about Vermont vs the Dakotas? Less restrictive = a ton more cases.
“I don’t want politics mixed with my medical decisions”
Unless the politicians are in Florida and they say things you like?
“I don’t like politics saying things I don’t like.” or “give it to me straight, Doc” PICK ONE.
ReplyYou’re not allowed to talk to people about healthy eating and losing weight because it is “fat shaming.” It’s just another thing we are not allowed to talk about anymore. If you do the woke mob will follow you down the street striking a bell yelling SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.
ReplyDeSantis for VP in 2024, President in 2028
ReplyIt is so obtuse to think that the urgency of the pandemic mixed with the knowledge that obese people are at higher risk of dying would whip people into shape. It requires a huge effort and tremendous amount of will power to lose a significant amount of weight, and obese people already live with the knowledge that they are significantly increasing their chances of health complications. They’ve been doing this since long before the pandemic. People actually think that this information would have resulted in massive, nation-wide weight loss and fitness amongst fat people? That’s extremely idealistic and naive.
ReplyThis is EXACTLY what America needs. A modern day George Carlin.
ReplyNo one is saying we can’t handle the truth. The US has fared the worst in this! What’s not to believe?! Real ppl were/are dying and getting really sick, including school age kids and college kids, and kids on spring break bringing it home to parents and grandparents. Where the F have you been during this past 1+year??? Stayed stoned, did ya?! Trump is the ass that made this political and racist and let it get out of control by lying abt it. And he canceled a million or more vaccine doses before leaving office like it was a big, final FU to Americans. Now you’re politicizing it! The agenda is to stop death and sickness. Do you not understand what that tiny percentage of deaths per capita adds up to in the US and worldwide? Do you not believe the death toll in the US or in the world or are both part of the lie? Have you turned into a conspiracy theorist? How does anyone gain from state and local economies going to hell in a hand basket??? Quit politicizing this virus. I know entire family’s that got sick including premature babies, school kids, having opened schools only to have outbreaks so bad they had to close again!? It’s not red/blue. It’s life/death. It’s horrifying! The sun and wind are not a “cure” for any virus–same as shooting up with bleach doesn’t cure it! It’s good to get out and get sun! Don’t need to congregate at a beach to do that! Don’t need to go to an outdoor crowded sporting event or political rally to get your sun! You’ve gone a little too far on this one, Bill. Or maybe the cure is to smoke more weed?! Oh. But it affects pulmonary function! Yikes! You could be at greater risk of death like cigarette smokers are…And you live in CA where one of the hugest outbreaks of all was!! But of course you have money and can buy things and services to help keep you isolated, in the sun safely, take a dip in your home pool out back, while getting enough sun at your big hacienda while the commoners lose work and savings trying to make it through. Florida is no state to hold up as a good example! They had one of the highest outbreak rates of virus for quite a while and refused to mandate crowd control or mask wearing, as did many other states that didn’t have mask mandates, etc. Ky kept the hospitals open and managed fairly well, considering–it’s a red state with a blue governor who governs with common sense and believes in science!! And Florida was allowing the rich to get the vaccine before vulnerable populations — the poor, minorities, ppl with underlying conditions such as pulmonary problems…. Being overweight is not the main co-morbidity with this virus. Yes. Obesity causes many health issues. Agreed! Obesity is another epidemic to focus on once this virus is under control. Heaven forbid you get the virus! Then you’d have another viewpoint! Maybe an elderly loved one, who by the way are the most vulnerable population. More deaths in LTC Facilities than any other! Fact! Majority of deaths were ppl 65+, mainly in 70, 80, 90 age groups. Fact! Healthy ppl are dying of this too. Fact! Formerly healthy ppl are suffering long term issues, including neurological problems. I’ve watched it take lives, overrun hospitals, health centers, Medicaid Healthcare facilities for the poor, etc. It’s not only obese ppl and that’s not the most vulnerable population. Check your facts before ranting on your pet peeve topic-obesity. Come on! You’re better than this… sensationalizing and trivializing this pandemic. Put your mask on. Wash your hands and keep your distance! Or, go lick a flag pole! Your choice of course. And I’m a fan, Bill! You’re way off in this one. You go check the facts abt hospital conditions throughout the worst and it’s starting a 4th wave now. BTW, the 4th wave hit Europe 1st! Then it comes here! Look at FACTS abt LTC Facilities, congregate living facilities like Veterans Homes and prisons. Then come back and rant abt it again.
ReplyBased Bill Maher??….
ReplyNews outlets overly reported negative news on a pandemic that killed 3,000,000 worldwide and 550,000 in the U.S. so far? A new mutation of a fatal virus that is very contagious.
It’s easy to Monday armchair quarterback this NOW. Nobody knew if we’d even be able to produce a vaccine, let alone in less than 5 years, and certainly not in less than a year. Anyone speaking NOW as if they knew back then what would happen is just delusional. The brightest most educated people on Earth didn’t know but you talk radio listeners and internet surfers knew?
The ability of the uneducated human mind to convince itself of bullshit has no limit.
ReplyUnfortunately, the public doesn’t like to hear the truth. Obesity kills not only with Covid but also with Diabetes, Hypertension, heart disease, etc. Being obese puts you in an inflammatory state. Knee pain and back pain also result of obesity. Patients get insulted by the truth and don’t want to hear that they are the reason they are in ill health. We are in an age where people really need to develop a thicker skin and listen to the truth. The truth isn’t coming from the CDC, WHO or the news. It’s very difficult for the average person to get to the truth these days. I’m an emergency physician and am blown away with lies that have been told and continue to be told.
ReplyI appreciate your honesty on this.
ReplyToo little too late. Some of us have been screaming this since day 1.
ReplyHe’s right. I was fat and lost weight years ago. You need people to push for betterment.

ReplyStupider each episode he talks about Covid. CYA Bill.
ReplyA little late to this party Bill. Many of us were talking about this for nearly a year. This would have mattered back then
ReplyWhile unhealthy living is a huge issue, that is not what made this a problem. Over Population did that. We’ve been encroaching on more and more land with no sign or even attempt to control ourselves. 7 billion gonna hit 8 bil soon probably, where those numbers are already twice what they should be, being generous. Couple this with that we have made a mess of this world, Plastic is everywhere. We are a wonderful mix of horrific traits, ignorant but arrogant, Selfish but self-righteous. There really is no fixing us at this point, the only hope humanity has for evolution and true growth would be a Huge Mass Extinction event. It’s a terrible truth, but it IS Truth.
ReplyThe blood of Hundreds of thousands are on the hands are in The hands of those who have failed to truly. Educate us with facts, you need to ask your self why ? Why are they pushing an experimental drug , disguised as a vaccine for a virus that. Has a 99.8 percent survival as well As other viable treatments
ReplyTruth! Thank you for saying Florida and Texas did the right thing!!! Greetings from Sweden, where we freeze our butts off outside (walking! moving!) and there is no mask mandate or lockdown…

ReplyA Liberal with common sense. Very refreshing
ReplyAsymptomatic respiratory virulence is Bullshit. They can’t prove that, never could, etc. They used that as a cover because they didn’t know WTF was going on. This is fact. It is unheard of with respiratory viruses to have asymptomatic virulence, in fact SCIENCE KNOWS 99% of asymptomatic viral spread of a VIRUS comes from only ONE PLACE. BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS! Take the pepsi challenge all you want. In a few years when this is all over they will EAISLY PROVE that Asymptomatic Transmission of Covid 19 was BULLSHIT. Don’t say some of us didn’t warn you. I’ll be back here in two years to check up on this comment to see how many “EXPERTS” are left.
ReplyWait a second, almost exactly 80% of America is Overweight/Obese so doesn’t it make sense that almost exactly 80% of them would be hospitalized for Covid? Or any other medical problems?
ReplyWhat I can’t believe is that yes, 80% of Americans are Overweight/Obese! A crime against Humanity..er..EX-Humanity.
How refreshing, a Democrat being real
ReplyBill the original liberal being called a nazi for speaking common sense is very 2021.
ReplyThanks Bill for speaking your mind. You speak from our heart and we are located miles and miles away from you in Malaysia. May you be blessed with good health.
ReplyWish people would stop calling the left liberals. The definition of liberal doesn’t apply.
Replyi have been talking to a lot of friends and others about this problem. I explain to them that this is why its so hard to trust anything you hear these days, from anyone. there is no trust left. and it makes us regard all info as something to question. they have screwed themselves into a corner with all the lies. it will be much harder in the future to manipulate the public
ReplyWait, doesn’t Bill always politicize EVERYTHING?! Talk about the pot calling the kettle white!
ReplyFinally!! More people need to call this type of shit out…it’s ridiculous!
ReplyThank you.
ReplyThe fact that each group’s highest mark was 50% and up, says a lot about our population. We are dumb.
ReplyTHANK YOU 🙏🏻
ReplyKind of disappointing to see Bill sucking up to DeSantis.
ReplyAgree with all he said except his comments about Trump
ReplyAll good except the end. People that went into the pandemic obese couldn’t just do a magic diet and lose all the weight. It’s not that easy and it’s not that fast. Once we knew obesity and being overweight was a major risk factor, it should have been communicated, but it wouldn’t have changed the fact of so many people being overweight and obese.
ReplyBill Maher is THIS close to leaving the left. Better late than never.
ReplyWhat’s wrong with believing that asymptomatic transmission isn’t a thing? It isn’t, and scientists whose paychecks don’t depend on political bullshit know this and aren’t afraid to say it. Asymptomatic transmission is rare enough that universal masking, for example, is stupid and insane.
ReplyBill Maher is like fine wine: he improves as he ages.
ReplySometimes Bill is just so fucking stupid, which hurts to see because I like him a lot and what he’s doing. He shows a Newsweek quote about infection rates going down in Texas… Firstly, isn’t Newsweek like a cousin to British tabloids? I mean, very sensationalist. Second, the infection rates might be going down – or stabilizing, actually – because fewer tests are being made. I applaude CNN for making the serious case about covid since the beginning. People need to be scared shitless or compelled. It disgusts me that my own nation has acted like Trump was in charge over here, and our news outlets go along – playing down the risks to the point where, at my workplace for example, no one seems to believe in or even know of asymptomatic spread of the disease. I watch Sanjay Gupta spill the latest on the virus and up to three weeks later our news media might mention it in passing. Certainly, if we must choose between two evils, alarmism is better than indifference when we’re talking about the biggest and deadliest pandemic since the Spanish flu?
No one probably reads this anyway, but I want to add something about Bill’s views on military spending. Sure, I believe in the wickedness of the military-industrial complex, but there’s more to it. America is far from surrendering her role as the world’s foremost super power, and I doubt if even most democrats wants to surrender that status? In any case, American military history is so full of military disasters that you’d think the case would never have to be made again for keeping your forces numerous, advanced and prepared. Korea stands out especially. You know why they don’t teach you that much about it, why veterans of Korea are often very bitter (one family aquaintance was there and he emigrated to Canada after his service there)? Because, as could happen any day when you’re a superpower, you had a crisis, you had to respond, and what you had to send was badly trained and kept occupation forces from Japan going in first and getting slaughtered. You pulled people from rear echelon service to fill rifle companies. When the Chinese entered the war, you found they had better small arms than your own men, much of it originating from America, captured by CCF during the Chinese civil war. I’m probably not over-estimating when I guess that 10,000 fewer Americans would have died in that war if you had had the readiness and professionalism you’ve kept since the 60’s. You have such a professional, advanced and well-equipped army and airforce that it would be a crime to give it up, even an inch of it. I don’t mention the navy because they already have gone down the slippery slope, which the two recent collisions are a testament to. WW2 is another obvious example. You talked tough and bruised the Japs with embargoes, but you weren’t ready for the reply, hence the disasters of Pearl Harbor and Bataan. Then again, a lot of Americans would probably welcome the Russians as the new world police. I think the Aussies got the right idea – re-arm to the point we can chart our own course without depending on the whimsical, proverbial Giant that is America. Ofc, that will never happen in my country, unprepardness and dependence has been our motto since 1814.
Reply78% hospitalized are overweight or obese, but guess what? 73% of American adults are overweight or obese and if you only include Americans who are middle aged and up that percentage is much higher. So that statistic he is quoting is meaningless. He’s trying to imply that only fat people get hospitalized when that is untrue. There are athletes and fit people who have had long term health issues because of Covid. I used to like Bill Maher, but he injects is own bias far too often.
ReplyMany counties did overwhelm their hospitals with Covid patients. You can’t blame the media for putting that on the news and you can’t blame the health officials to come up to a microphone and plead with people to please take Covid more seriously. They were concerned, exhausted, and did have to let some people get sicker and die. They had a right to express their grief. If that gave the wrong impression about statistics, who cares? By and large, people still remained plenty relaxed about this pandemic. That’s how we got to over half a million dead in the US.
Reply⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ReplyCorona showed how useless the world governments are
ReplySome nice cherry picking / lack of context of stats here.
“78% of people hospitalized for Covid were overweight/obese” Ok. That sounds really bad. Except that 73.6% of American adults over 20 are overweight/obese (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm). Want to bet that number gets higher as people get older?
Its also a huge problem that ~40% of democrats think there’s a 50/50 chance that a Covid patient gets hospitalized. No mention of the same infographic showing that ~30% of republicans and 35% of independents think the same thing.
So yes… Let’s let the facts do the talking. And being on team blue or team red doesn’t mean that you magically get a pass. But its pretty darned ironic that a piece lambasting democrats for being fast and loose with facts is being this fast and loose with facts.
ReplyWhy in the god’s name would you want to ask random people about the percentage of hospitalization? What kind of stupid questions is that? Are we fucking doctors?
Reply“In all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is ALWAYS a symptomatic person.” FAUCI 2020
ReplyExpecting hard concrete facts on a disease that’s just be discovered a little over a year ago is child like. We weren’t mislead, we were cautioned by best guess and reasonable assumptions till studies could be finished.
ReplyOne of the biggest driving factors of why there is a disproportionate amount of black and Latino people who contract covered or have worse outcomes is because of the much higher rate of vitamin d deficiency that those population groups experience in the US. Hands down the best thing that could have been done was to encourage people to be out in the sunshine exercising and getting fresh air. Plus when you exercise you’re naturally inclined to space out anyways, so going for a run/walk, playing volleyball, swimming or riding a bike all are safe low cost or free activities that would reduce stress and the level of stir crazy some are experiencing, improve fitness, but also directly decreases the chances of catching covid and improves your outcomes if you do have it. Vitamin D is important to supplement, most people in the US and other northern countries are deficient, and the more melanin the more likely you are to be low! Take supplements, eat dairy if you are able, and get some sun!
ReplyA big thank you to Bill for pointing out that believe it or not people on the right can be just as well educated, well-read and we’ll informed or moreso than people on the left. I think it’s a shame that there is this blind narcissism that all the people who vote right are uneducated or idiots. you will find idiots on both sides and intelligent people on both sides, and the ideologies that feed into these ridiculous stereotypes are doing so much incredible harm to the entire planet and especially the US. I think this outlandish stereotype stems from the dramatically increased level of hard left partisanship in the humanities and how it leaked into other facets of higher education, it used to be far more balanced and previous decades. Nothing good will come of it, alienating half your population to the entire concept of advanced education will have devastating consequences. And before people jump down my throat no I am not a Republican nor am I a Democrat both parties have their heads firmly lodged up their back sides and neither represents what I believe would be best for the country and its people.
ReplyMaybe were a little….too free.
ReplyThe large scale campaign for adopting healthier lifestyles doesn’t happen because every time someone like Michelle Obama dare tell us that exercise is a good thing all these nut-job right wing talk show hosts do long running segments about how “the government is telling you what to eat now, bla bla bla.” And yea they do it just to be contrarians, but it works. I’m really sick of Bill Maher’s rap on this, as if liberals are to P.C to point out the American obesity problem. Liberals have launched more campaigns for Kale than they have for single payer healthcare. And when the left does rally for universal healthcare, a big selling point is “preventative care.” Or as as it’s called on the right, “tyranny”. Remember, “I’m young, why do I need healthcare?” Maher has to get a clue. There’s tons of legitimate shit to criticize the left about.
ReplyGeez cant believe this clwns still using the BS narrative thats obviously been put out of context that Trump directed the ppl to inject lysol🤦the left r really just bunch of sheeps and too lazy to do a little research to see if this clwns they see on tv is telling them the truth.”
“alot of ppl died coz of Trumps incompitence”?last time i checked the dude did not put covid patients on elder homes like some dumb governors in other states and last time i checked alot of ppl from the left was laughing at him when he said he gnna have the vaccine under a year with his operation warpspeed most of the clwns said its impossible yet he still lived up to his promise and last time a checked most of the so called experts from the left said milions of ppl will die in the first 2 months yet again didnt happen.
Replythis is obviously a global problem 180 countries been affected by this so i think instead of blaming Trump why not blame the source of the virus for letting this happen and spreading it to the world.
I love how conservatives in the comments are saying Bill is ‘starting to wake up’ or being ‘red-pilled’, etc.
ReplyDude, he has ALWAYS been critical of the left as much as he is critical of conservatives. He literally had a show in the 90’s called ‘Politically Incorrect’ . 🤣

So he has much work to do. But this is a start!
ReplyLol the left get into office and now they’re trying to backtrack all their crazy ideas
ReplyProbably my favorite Bill Maher rant to-date.
ReplyThe left is going to eat him! They will eat their own children if they have too.
ReplySo, a third of Republicans believe COVID can’t be spread by asymptomatic people … which means that TWO thirds don’t believe that. On the other hand, SEVENTY PERCENT of Democrats are, as Bill put it, “wildly off” when it comes to the severity of COVID re: the hospitalization rate.
So, 1/3 of Republicans are wrong about a key COVID fact … but SEVEN out of TEN DEMOCRATS are wrong about another key COVID fact.
Is my math off, or is 70% much MORE than 1/3?
Not that we shouldn’t take COVID seriously … but many on the Left are simply and absolutely neurotic about it.
ReplyHey Bill, when are going to speak about the border crisis that is completely out of control ? When are you going to speak about our inept Vice President that REFUSES to go to the southern border and address the crisis Biden created and let her deal with ?
ReplyNot having children yourself, I suppose you can be excused for forgetting that children do not attend school without teachers and other staff – adults of all ages and health conditions. Even if they are not affected by Covid themselves, they or the children can carry the virus home to more vulnerable family members. It’s not just about the risks to students.
ReplyI so happy to see Bill taking this stand. I haven’t worn a mask since June 2020 while all my leftist friends and family buy into the fear. And the reason we don’t see a more democratic and engaging debate over the lock-downs and force mask adherence is because of the mass censorship on social media. This has prevented any build up of any grass roots resistance towards the authoritarian measures pushed in us by our government.
ReplyI also don’t think the hysteria around Covid in the U.S. is unique. Britain, Denmark, Ireland Australia etc have stricter behavior laws and every bit, if not more, propaganda pushing fear. You can find video’s from these other countries of people actually getting arrested just for posting anti-lock down/mask opinions. There is nothing natural or healthy about the amount of fear being pushed on us while we ignore our obesity and dietary problems.
This is amazing!!!
ReplyI wouldn’t trust what Bill Maher has to say about health. He’s kind of like a more sensible Robert Kennedy Jr. on health, which is still really bad. Texas cases down? And he starts talking about politics? Texas cases are down by a lot because they stopped testing by a lot. Their positivity rate is still one of the worst in the country. Then end of this week is better. They aren’t as bad as when they listed the mask mandate around March 2nd but no states really are. So its not like some major accomplishment. I’m with him on obesity however. I feel like are food supply should be more regulated. Less salt and sugar. A country full of diabetes and heart disease being a major killer, it would help if chips could reduce salt by at least half.
ReplyI just read that Florida currently is high in numbers of new cases. Maybe it was fake news!
ReplyGood ol Bill calling out his own people. We need more of that in the world.
ReplyThis is good but it’s a shame Bill still pushes the old climate change garbage.
ReplyPerhaps 78% of those who died were overweight, but 95% of those who died were over 50. Which is the more significant factor? Age.
ReplyThank God for Bill speaking out almost a year too late.
ReplyBill Maher nice to see you have come to your senses. Keep it coming.
ReplyI’m actually quite impressed to see someone actually play both sides of the fence. I know that is impossible in America. But if more did that the country would not be half as fucked as it is.
ReplyThe fact is that there has been a lot of guesswork that had to be done. The idea that we’ve been lied to about Covid is an immature cheap shot that I thought was only going to come from the spoiled Trump whiners. I love Bill Maher but, for God sakes don’t turn into a jerk like Dennis Miller.
ReplyThe fact is that there has been a lot of guesswork that had to be done, many very difficult decisions.

I love Bill Maher but, for God sakes i hope he doesn’t turn into a jerk like Dennis Miller.
ReplyLiterally everyone Bill is talking about are sitting there in his audience clapping 👏 🐑
ReplyBill doing what he does best
Reply“It´s funny because he’s fat” Mr. Chao.
ReplyUnfortunately, exercise isn’t near as effective at reducing obesity as simply cutting excess refined carbs in ones diet which has been advocated since a150 or so years ago. But, that idea is also considered heresy by many in the medical profession, so it’s ignored.
ReplyCan somebody send this clip to the White House?
ReplyTHANK U BILL!!! Medical freedom is about choice, not politics!!!!! Let’s move forward!! Covid wasn’t a killer! Obesity is!
ReplyLittle Debbie….turns into BIG Debbie!
ReplyThe only liberal I can stomach (sometimes).
ReplyLol pretty bad when one of your biggest fans calls you out for being stupid hey liberals
Replypanic porn haha
ReplyI am a 35 y/o Republican and have grown up on Bill Maher through my Democrat Mother and am a big fan of his. In these days of tribalism we need to get it straight with party ideology. Maher is like most Democrats in that he is a Liberal and not a Leftist. Liberals are good hearted, hard working, emotionally sensible people. Leftists are radical, illogical, and emotionally childish like the fringed Right. I think as American Citizens, not politicians, we Conservatives and Liberals can, and are, come together on a lot of issues.
ReplyHow many have died Bill? Utter idiot.
Replyi think Bill is going senile… c’mon… you are doing exactly the same thing… NO… vitamins won’t cure o prevent contracting anything…
ReplyWas making sense until he had to parrot lies on trump and bleech etc. What a fool.
ReplyNo one cares about the narrative about a fake news show and Dem stories…and of course lies to get a laugh.,. please make jokes again…or try … maybe review robin williams
ReplyThe thing I really like and respect about Bill is that he doesn’t toe the party line. He’s a liberal, but he thinks for himself.

ReplyAbout time you got back to speaking the truth.
ReplyIn the U.S., 1.5% of the people who get Covid will die – that is not the hospitalization rate. I agree with some of your points, but if you are going to criticize the accuracy of numbers, be sure to get it RIGHT.
ReplyAs a conservative I think Bill has some TDS. But he is at least reasonable outside of that. Much respect
ReplyIt’s all countries…lies sells better that the truth.
ReplyTexas politicians lie…
ReplyI think they convert you Bill.
ReplyLittle debbie 😕
ReplyThere is some truth in this…had the CDC and other agencies had been allowed to research the virus and make recommendations properly to help reduce deaths, illness and transmission rates.
If health agencies had the authority to provide input on policy and get it done we could have saved so much loss both in life, time and money.
ReplyEventually Bill will see the left are the authoritarians.
ReplyHehe like
ReplyObesity counts for over 3/4 of our nations medical costs
ReplyUmmm…so much to say. No tolerance for ambiguity. No one knew exactly how Covid spread at the onset. However, looking at the way it raged through China and Italy in January and February it was clear that it was highly contagious and airborne. It was prudent to lock down until we figured it out. That is just what countries who were successful in managing the virus did. Australia, New Zeeland, Taiwan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong… But no we had an infant in the White House who didn’t want to manage this because it was hard and unpopular and would interfere with his re-election propaganda rallies. Sad
ReplyBig difference between encouraging people to exercise and eat healthier…and bombarding them with lame-ass whale and elephant jokes, as you do with your favorite punching bag, Chris Christie. Can the shitty jokes that would put a FIRST GRADER to shame, and become more constructive.
Reply78% of COVID patients in the US being obese or overweight in an interesting statistic. How does that compare to the percentage of overweight or obese people in the general population?
ReplyBill has have his feelings hurt. Now he has become a part of the problem. He feels his kind is being bullied. F Bill
ReplyStop telling us there is a new burger in town s though ingredients may be different but outcome is the same. “obesity” there should be national campaign to put danger sign on ultra processed food 🥘 .

ReplyMedia manipulation and agenda. Havn’t people been paying attention?
ReplyI support schools being closed. A pandemic doesn’t go away because of your age
ReplyWhy would a liberal diehard like Maher suddenly have a few actually sensible things to say sprinkled in with his usual garbage? Ratings? Is he himself scared? Usually this kind of thing happens when a Democrat is in office and the elites stop ranting and spewing hate 24×7 and suddenly start paying attention. Too little too late.
ReplyBill, you continue to be the best “truth teller that’s not a Mark Twain” and hilariously steady!
ReplyWouldn’t you rather be over estimating then under estimating?

ReplyDeSantis did better than Cuomo
The schools are closed because parents and staff don’t want to contract the virus from the students. Obviously that was glossed over.
ReplyAbout time he said the truth
ReplyThe Drs did say something. They’ve been silenced.
ReplyTrump did a fine job with Covid you just don’t want to give him credit but in a sense you basically did my describing that Covid is a bunch of BS and it was mostly obesity people who died from it
ReplyNews media lied that Trump said to drink bleach. No Trumpster, nor anyone else, drank bleach. If anyone died of bleach, news media would blame Trump for their own malfeasance.
ReplyBill Maher has always been someone who tells the truth, while the rest of the ‘news media’ does nothing but spew bullshit for views.
Replybill is one more new rule video from becoming a conservative
Reply“If you lie to people, even for a very good cause, you lose their trust.” AGREE! Trump never said to drink household cleaner. He said UV light (sunlight) is a disinfectant..which you also say here… and might even be able to be taken internally. “But we’ll leave that to the scientists” he concluded. Did you even watch that press conference? Aside from that annoyance, thanks for at least making baby steps towards the centre.
ReplyWe have over 500,000 dead in a year because of idiots, including an ex-President who claimed the whole thing was a hoax. So QUIT pretending that this is taking place in any sort of a vacuum. This reeks of pandering in the worst way.

ReplySo sick of hearing Bill talk about obesity. I don’t think I’ve ever watched one episode when he doesn’t go on about it. He’s completely obsessed with fat people. Give it a fucking rest Bill. You sound like a broken record and nobody cares about this stuff except you. Guess what, you live in a world of people who are and who do things you don’t like and it will always be this way. Get over it.
ReplyBill still believes that red meat is bad for health and that agriculture is the primary source of ghg…Both are deceptions put forth by the WHO and the UN, that have been soundly refuted over the past decade by better analysis and higher quality data…(BTW, I have dropped a 100 pounds in past few years on an animal based diet called keto and I am 75 and now no longer on statins or bp meds) Even advertising- compromised hack medical journals like the Lancet have been compelled to set stricter standards of publication because of the very bad stuff coming from WHO. …I expect Bill to take a look at the shit he is believing as well as challenging us all to do the same. Yes, obesity is a symptom of a monster metabolic disorder, not a sinful nature but a medical condition …almost always traceable to insulin resistance and demanding reduction in carb intake etc.
ReplyOur checks and balances and objective peer revies in all aspects of our health care has been corrupted top to bottom by big business and biased regulators.
ReplyBill, Bill, Bill….you were spot on until you repeated the leftist lie that Trump said we should ingest household disinfectants…he didn’t say that.

ReplyBill Mahar says what right-wing politigram has been saying the whole time and everyone cheers.
ReplyCute
FOR FUCK SAKE MORE PEOPLE DIED IN EUROPE OF COVID THAN IN THE US.
ReplyYes and No. I have a neighbor, his family was infected with COVID back in September of 2020. His 95 year old mother died of Covid. He still is unable to taste anything and his daughter has a persistent cough. My brother-in-law was infected with COVID and was hospitalized. He is out of the hospital but he uses oxygen. India was a country that seemed to be doing just fine while living life normally while ignoring all the warnings of a possible second wave. India is not doing to well, at the time of this posting. I was in my preteen years when the Sabin Oral Vaccine was given at a neighborhood elementry school. There were long lines of families waiting to receive the first of three doses. No one viewed it as political mandate. This was to combat the spread of polio. Now one irresponsible person of rank told an outright lie about the Caronavirus and falsely lambasted medical science and all of sudden a deadly infection becomes a political issue. The COVID pandemic is a national emergency. People have died from it and other are suffering lingering side effects. How much intelligence is required for people to understand that this not about life or liberty, but life and death? There is a difference.
ReplyI love Maher but Trump never said to ingest household disinfectant. I am tired of this lie.
ReplyWhat about liberals getting vaccinated and still are afraid to get outside, to be around people. Isn’t the point of vaccines to be protected against the cooties?
ReplyI think this is the first time I have ever agreed with Bill.
Reply“Wiping your knob with Lysol” gets a whole different meaning if you are British.

ReplyMonday morning quarterbacking is all Bill is doing. Where was his insight a year ago???
Replyas a Floridian, I have to wonder what the fuck Bill is talking about
Replyyes, DeSantis gave priority to seniors; but he also gave preferential treatment to wealthier senior communities that happened to be home to major Republican donors
it was good that he allowed Publix to become a major vaccination center — but why didn’t he give that same treatment to Wal-Mart or Winn-Dixie? Is it because Publix donated to him more than the other major super markets?
also, the beach alone is not the problem — it’s when thousands of drunken assholes are crammed shoulder-to-shoulder that it becomes a problem
DeSantis signed executive orders making it ILLEGAL for any county or city government to enforce any health & safety mandates; he sent a SWAT team to raid the home of a woman (and terrify her children) when her only “crime” was allegedly texting lawmakers that DeSantis was suppressing the true numbers of COVID deaths
it’s easy to say DeSantis is “pro-science” when his predecessor was so anti-science that he could’ve been a villain on Captain Planet
A liberal with a clue
ReplyBill, the reason there was such a backlash against lockdowns is the same reason we don’t do anything about obesity. Because it costs sugar daddy profit.
ReplyYou are addressing percentages.
ReplyI count the dead.
What % of Americans are overweight or obese? Probably over 50% but not 80%
ReplySure Bill. So when are you guys going to condemn your political hacks who you worship like Nancy Pelosi, Biden, and every pimp democrat in power who has mocked and scoffed at governor DeSantis while defending Cuomo??????

ReplyFor once he’s right. Get the government OUT of the healthcare business. Too bad he is still suffering from cognitive dissonance.
Government run healthcare is the problem, not the solution.
ReplyIt’s people like Bill who give us conservatives hope that maybe there are still a few liberals who think rationally and are ready to work together on the real problems facing our country.
ReplyDoctors did say get vitamins D , C and mineral zinc. Go outside when can to get sunshine so can make D on skin and breath fresh air. (and more) Those were the doctors that were banned. Those doctors were stopped. This talk isn’t giving the facts “straight”!
ReplyJezz Bill, In the Navy we washed our knobs with Listerine after a night with the ladies, and did it burn Bill, but the bottle said it killed million of germs. It must have worked as we were never in the sick bay line the next day. This was 1969 and Listerine would start engines, and you know they must of owned by Lysol. You should bang on these people that keep on wearing their masks weeks after vaccines. If they took them off it would kind of give people more confidence that this ruse is over, and it is a ruse if you believe that statistics have any type of validity. The official site in reporting adverse reactions is VAERS, and the side effect you need to look at are the 358 deaths in last several weeks, and companies have the audacity to make these vaccines mandatory. Hey, did Bill get his vaccines yesterday? Oh No, He Died from it.

ReplyBill is way overestimating how important the statistic that 78% of those hospitalized were overweight or obese. 74% of Americans are overweight or obese
ReplyBetter but Bill is still batshit crazy when he gets on his climate change rants. On my first date with my wife, one of the stops was a Neolithic site called Banpo Village, just outside of Xi’an, Shaanxi. It is fascinating due to the complexity of pottery and artifacts that came from humans living 6,000 years ago. But what caught my attention was a talk given by one of the guides. She, (I am guessing that it was she but can’t quite remember) noted that part of the diet included bamboo rat and water deer because that part of the Yellow River basin used to be a lot warmer and wetter than today. Neither species can be found anywhere near that location. That struck me as important because activists are telling the Chinese to cut on CO2 emissions to protect themselves against warmer temperatures even though the Chinese data shows that temperatures today are much cooler than they used to be for most of their history. Xi’an’s temperature during the Neolithic period that the settlement was occupied used to be closer to what Chengdu’s is today. That made life much easier, not harder.
Bill goes after the ROP for denial about climate change because he accepts claims that have no support. He needs to pick up a book that shows the evidence and have a close look. And being ‘scientific he might want to ask why the advocates of AGW keep referring to ‘expert judgment’ as justification for their claims rather than empirical evidence. Don’t bother though. Visit Banpo, or pick up the classic book by H.H. Lamb where the temperature data is given and have a look. By the way, Lamb, Ravelle, and others were worried about the next ice age, not temperatures that would barely reach the Holocene Climate Optimum levels.

ReplyI am a firm believer in science and that pandemics can (and have) decimate a population. Initially C19 was a unknown threat, we quarantined, we masked up, we put sick people on ventilators (that may have done more harm then good).
There was then an election that needed to be won and C19 became heavily politicized, weaponized by both sides.
After a year of collecting data, we now know that C19 is almost only fatal for the elderly, the obese, and those with other underlying issues. Those populations are now almost all vaccinated and I am happy for them.
We have all been exposed to the virus, and many in the non-vulnerable population have naturally built antibodies to fight off C19 or have chosen to take the vaccine themselves. For me, that is plenty of protection to never think about this ever again. I have little faith we will survive a pandemic that conveniently doesn’t kill children or the healthy in the future if we handle it like this.

Reply*To all the commenters who are saying that Trump never told people to drink / ingest bleach, you’re right… Trump suggested injecting disinfectant into the body, which is completely different: “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside…”* 🤢👌
ReplyI have a love/hate relationship with Bill Maher, but lately he’s really been on point.
ReplyThe world needs Bill Maher now more than ever.
ReplyAmen on MSM. Led around by money (advertising).
ReplyThe chances of being hospitalized when getting Covid would have been much lower if proper treatment was available (protocols such as Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Azithromycin). But, Pharma doesn’t get their billions of dollars in ’emergency funding’ for vaccines unless these are discredited. So, they were. Plus they don’t make any money out of these products in the first place. Instead governments financially incentivised procedures that killed people and told all doctors to count deaths as Covid deaths. This whole thing was fraud from the get go, especially as the virus was out and about long before China commenced their mandatory adult vaccination law on 01Dec19. It’s being used as an excuse to cull humanity.
ReplyBiting commentary on how liberal media and liberal government officials do not “follow the science” as they boast, but I’m disappointed that even as you admit that Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R) actually followed the science and has a better record on his handling of the Covid19 crisis than liberals like NY governor Andrew Cuomo (D) , you felt the need to twist the knife a bit with a snide remark about “I’ve read that Ron DeSantis reads” (ha-ha) … the joke based on the premise that it’s just common knowledge that conservatives are not well-educated and don’t read … and yet you know that’s not true. Ron DeSantis , graduated with a B.A. magna cum laude in history from Yale University. Then he gaduated with a J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School. Ron DeSantis reads a lot more (and on substantive topics) than most of the liberal press and Twitter mob who constantly deride him. (*Magna cum laude is an academic honor used by universities to signify that a person’s academic degree was earned with great distinction. The Latin phrase means “with great praise.” It means you graduated near the top of your class. Unlike certain politicians who lied about their academic standing and how many degrees they earned. *cough* JoeBiden *cough* https://youtu.be/9p5CXMVGMxU )
ReplyGood on you for calling out the lying panic porn peddlers in the media, but shame on you for repeating the LIE that Trump suggested people might drink bleach to treat Covid19. The truth is that Trump was aware of a new experimental technology for injecting UV light into the trachea, which had recently been in the news, and Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci were not aware of it. Then CNN , MSNBC, and the rest intentionally perpetrated a lie that Trump suggested “drinking bleach.” (this is the same liberal media who perpetrated the lies about Covid19 that you’re calling out . Does that give you a clue?)
ReplyIf this shows anything it’s we need both parties bcuz if there’s only 1 political party we are completely fucked.
ReplyIs it me or does anybody think Bill’s show would be better off without the audience and the producers would allow him to let rip with his guests and their own thoughts, both for and against. That way people can think for themselves what they agree with.

Can’t cremate the bodies fast enough. Hospitals overwhelmed. And now, we, the USA are supposed to come in a rescue them because they didn’t listen to the instructions and do all the nasty quarantine things we did. People now say: we are all interconnected…which is very true. One country, with religious mobs, decide their immunity stems directly from God – and we are supposed to be afraid of them super spreading.
If you don’t want politics mixed with your medical decisions, then you certainly should NOT want religion mixed with the health information either.
Anyone who holds the virus in their body for an extended length of time is a host (Doesn’t matter if you are fat, young, old, white, black or brown). And from that host CAN come a virus that is much stronger. Viruses are probably smarter than people when it comes to altering themselves for survival. The problem is that Americans in general have lost their ability to reason within a context (which is difficult in 26 characters or less). All you healthy non-fat people are conceivably just helping that virus make a stronger version of itself.
There are some politicians who are influenced by science. But a lot more who are prone to pander to the religious zealots and those who believe Covid-19 is really nothing but a fake news story. Bill – you hate religion. Why not go after those zealots? At least a lot of the fat folks are scared enough they are getting vaccines. The others? Well it’s against their religion. (or some other stupid excuse).

ReplyNotice how the clapping gets quieter through the bit?
ReplyBill, u are the only man telling the truth!
ReplyI’ve been saying for the last couple years that the Federal Government needs to start considering outlawing or limiting the production of fast food and “all” junk food for public health and environmental reasons. Can someone on here please explain why we need junk food for our survival as a species?
ReplyHEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH, NOW THE WEALTHY WANT YOUR HEALTH 💉🚫
ReplyI missed the republican saying Hillary had a pizzaria?🤣
ReplyThank you, Bill!
ReplyI’m conservative and I have to agree with everything he said, including Trumps mistakes underestimating cCOVID. And I’m not thrilled with some of Abbots performance either, but mostly on how he handled, or didn’t handle our storm. But Maher hits every nail square on the head in this. I got tired of Trump, and now I’m real tired of Biden and his CDC whine about the looming disaster. I’m 65. I’ve been vaccinated but I’m beginning to wonder why I bothered in the Biden Sky is Falling term
Reply“If it bleeds, it leads” yeah, he just referenced the veritas leak.
ReplyI’m liking you today Bill! Careful!
ReplyYou want the truth Bill? They are killing people in multiple ways and destroying their lives and their freedoms. There you go. This is a garbage show.
Here is a decent show on COVID; player.fm/1BGpcFX Bill wishes he could do truth and quality such as this.
ReplyGood start, but call out the “Vaccine Passports” as a draconian nightmare that will create a caste system in America.
ReplyWe need more like Bill
ReplyHow are you supposed to “Let’s move” when the commies won’t let you use trails to go for runs without a mask? A fat person can barely run let alone with a mask
ReplySo far 1.7k dopes can’t handle the truth.
Reply1700 CNN employees didn’t like the “if it bleeds it leads” joke
ReplyDude, your writers should do a better job. You are quoting some random crap surveys and doing jokes on it. I mean are out of your mind, Boomer?.
ReplyBill championed those who pushed the “Plandemic” fear agenda he now complains about. Like many Americans, Bill got the leadership he deserves. Be careful what you ask for. The fear mongering, free speech censoring left, media & Big tech didn’t want to hear any opinion that challenged their “we’re all for dead” narrative. Suffer in silence.
ReplyFinally! I can’t believe it’s taken people over a year to wake up and see what’s really going on.
