'You don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine.'

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

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

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

    Maher fought back, explaining he believes high-risk groups, such as the elderly and the obese should be vaccinated, but elite athletes such as tennis star Novak Djokovic and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers “didn’t need it.”

    Uh, Bill you’re 67 years old. You are a part of the elderly. Now turn off Fox news, put down the remote and take a nap.

      Nick Cordero was a Broadway performer and was in extremely good physical shape. Healthy, young, and fit. COVID still killed him. Being in good physical condition doesn’t inherently mean safety.

      It’s remarkable to me how quickly we forgot the terror of the early days of COVID-19, before we had the vaccine and before we really knew what we were dealing with.

        Yup, my shrink’s daughter in law was a marathon runner, mountain climber, etc. and now she can’t even walk to the mailbox without having to stop for a breather.

        It’s been over a year since she was infected with only very minor improvements.

        Fuck people like Bill.

      I heard a clip of it. If I remember correctly, he said 90 years old. So in his mind, he doesn’t need it because he’s not THAT old.

        I love the way that the cut-off for “incompetent elderly” magically seems to go up every time these schmucks hit a new decade.

        It’s genuinely time for these people to sit the fuck down and accept that they’re outdated and shouldn’t be leading anyone anymore. Just check into a home and relax for the rest of your life. I’m sure he can have his ego convinced that he’s “earned it”.
