    Is it just me? Or does anyone else find the audience yelling “woo“ after every joke line to be highly annoying? I finally had a mute various times during the show just to kill the audience’s ridiculous screaming. I’m afraid Real Time is getting more and more difficult to actually watch.

      I did enjoy his book "Hate Inc."
      I find that when it comes to journalism, you can tell someone is as close to objective as possible when (1) that person can criticize the entirety of the ideological or political spectrum when necessary, not when convenient. (2) And if you have a hard time putting them into one of those ideological and political boxes, then there's a good chance they don't embody a particular identity politics.

    Ugh. I’m a physician, the mind body connection is always top of mind and something we try to discuss always (and patients often brush us off when we do)🤦🏻‍♀️, we’ve been trying to talk to patients about obesity for decades, and no matter how many people angrily demand their “zpack”’s as if they’re ordering off a menu antibiotic stewardship is always paramount especially in a hospital setting, etc etc - there’s so much nuance and so many details that he is glossing over and it is clear he doesn’t know the actual ground level day to day stuff that actual doctors practicing actual medicine are doing. I’m a fan, but Bill on this subject just frustrates me to no end. Myself and all of my colleagues all practice with these things in mind and make a lot of effort to reach people on these subjects so to regularly hear such incorrect assumptions and generalizations on what doctors supposedly do just is so disheartening, especially as a primary care doctor. I wish he’d have some actual physicians on to discuss the real deal. And not political takes, like the real inside of what is going on and the actual day to day barriers that then leave these impressions.
    And no, ivermectin is not just a horse de-wormer, but it is an anti-PARASITIC, you use it when someone has a parasite, not a virus. Before anyone takes such a medication that can also fyi be quite hard on the liver (not to mention all of its potential drug interactions) they should have a real solid indication for why there are doing so as well as be monitored while receiving it, and that’s no joke nor is it political-speak.

    • @Powderfinger07
      @Powderfinger07 Před rokem

      - Covid wasn’t an issue in the global south because they had access to cheap off label treatments. We know why those very treatments were demonized, along with the doctors advocating for their use in the West. Nor why proper studies on such treatments were not commissioned by those that hold the purse strings on the research. Rather only bogus studies with fixed results published by journals underwritten by the pharma industry and their captured regulatory agencies who benefit from keeping positive results suppressed. As we saw with the phony research conducted on HCQ in the spring of 2020, when both The Lancet and NEJM had to retract their publications. Luckily there were several studies conducted that proved an over 80% effectiveness rate with IVM. You can leave a comment stating you’re a physician and claiming Ivermectin has no benefit for covid, but your opinion does run counter to many frontline doctors that have had lots of success, and since they have been censored and harassed, I tend to believe them and their evidence, because it’s not real science if doctors and scientists around the world are being censored and their research suppressed. You sound more like someone that just obeys the symbols of authority, and follows the indoctrination patterns of your big pharma masters rather than has a curiosity and passion to actually help patients by looking at the data and research from doctors that have treated thousands of covid patients with great success. Hope to god you never prescribed Remdesivir or are pushing an unnecessary experimental gene therapy concoction onto children.

Yes Bill made his point (and pointing a finger) about obesity, but in less than a minute he’s arguing about health science recommendations as a violation of his beloved freedom. There was a few of these moments tonight, ironically even with the woman on the panel, where he could have been less reactionary and shown more class, like the male guests tonight. Bottom line, If you’re not “all that” (ie a physician and licensed epidemiologist, on the Coronavirus topic) then a little humility would go far…..

Also valid studies have proven that Ivermectin is ineffective in treating Covid, so the resistance to an unproven medicine was the right call. No one was against it because trump supported it, they were against it because there was no proof for it's efficacy and subsequent studies have proven it is worthless as a treatment cor Covid.

      Scientific progress ends when people stop taking risks. But historically speaking, as just a brute statistical/empirical fact, your odds are always better going with the confluence of accumulated scientific knowledge -- e.g., getting a goddam COVID vaccine vs. leaving this up to chance (or God, or Ivermectin, or whatever other crackpot alternative you might be into).

    Bill Maher just keeps getting better. Of course I do not agree with everything he says, but the only person I always agree with is…. Myself. His insights hit the mark and he goes his own way. I give him the Bruce Becker Award for excellence.
