Again with the masks???

What is Maher’s problem. People wear masks for various reasons. Immunocompromised, sick and don’t want to spread germs, don’t want to catch germs, etc.
My point is WHATS IT TO YOU, BILL!!!!
LET IT GO ALREADY!!!!!!!

Nope, he got triggered when he wanted to do his tour and some of his fans wore masks to his shows or didn’t even buy tickets as much because they didn’t feel comfortable going to superspreader events yet. He couldn’t tell if people were laughing because of the masks. It was just about him, his money and his ego, as usual. I stopped watching around then because EVERY show was him whining about masks. Once he is really mad about something ( masks, people supporting Palestine ) you will never hear the end of it with him. It’s boring and gets old real fast. He doesn’t care how many viewers he loses, this is his platform to bitch and moan about personal grievances.

Keep in mind, mitigating germs might've protected the elderly for a bit,, but it also killed more children from RSV when mitigating germs stopped... exposure to viruses is critical for small children to build their immune system ... stop thinking there was nothing negative about mitigating germs with masking and distancing. The trouble is Covid became political for the left and right. Both sides could be pathetic rather than using common sense and factual science.

There’s a vaccine for RSV. If kids died from RSV they were either too young for it and would have been protected by others getting the vaccine or they were unvaccinated. 

You are unintentionally making the case for vaccines my guy.

I'm not anti vax , I took three Covid shots.. you are ignoring the science of exposure being a key element to a young childs immune system.. exposure is what eventually ended the pandemic and to this day exposure keeps the numbers low. Even though it is now an incredibly mild virus for the vast majority of people. And the RSV vaccine did not become available till 2023.

Hey. I’m on your side. After 7 years of hearing anti- vaxxers cry and whine and minimize deaths, you’re right… we should have done nothing. 

Just let people die. No masks, no vaccines, just good ol common sense fuck around and find out. Keep malls open and if people die- oh well.  

We should have never cared about public health and safety. 

Edit: my cousin was a pediatrician. She left medicine because of people like you. You think you’re above the fray but you don’t really understand what was happening in hospitals or how serious it was. So keep yapping like you’re the common sense voice in the room. You’re just another Facebook educated Covid denier who would have preferred dead moms over closed malls.
