Bill Maher began a recent monologue with a damning indictment on the so-called “experts” who influenced early decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a five-minute monologue, the comedian opened Real Time by acknowledging that “some mistakes were inevitable” but criticized those who continued to blame a lack of understanding for the pandemic.
Maher criticized mask mandates across America, and expressed his view that schools should have remained open. In addition, he also said that risks from the vaccination were hidden from the public while lambasting those who enforced mandatory vaccination across the country:
His comments towards the end of the monologue, however, drew criticism. On the subject of inflation, Maher questioned as to why Americans sought to elect Donald Trump who “ignored COVID like it was the dinner check.”
And those Americans, who still possess common sense, had answers:
Others pointed out that Trump “didn’t ignore COVID”, but instead relied too heavily on the advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Federal Drug Administration.
Trump did issue a number of executive orders in response to the pandemic, and was quick to ban travel from China, the source of the virus, before the “experts” had even given that a thought.
