Either Bill Maher is pretty much uncancellable at this point -- or he simply doesn't care.
In a candid interview with entertainment industry publication Deadline, the HBO host said he was "over COVID," ripped into de facto COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci, said he wouldn't get a booster shot, and said public health officials and the "medical establishment" shouldn't "sit there in your white coat and tell me, 'Just do what we say.'"
Maher is certainly singing a different tune from the rest of Hollywood -- and, if he were anyone else, this would probably be a scandal. Cancel culture has drummed people out for less, after all --
The interview with Deadline was ostensibly about the 20th anniversary of his current show, "Real Time with Bill Maher." However, things took an unexpected turn when Maher was asked, "heading back to a new season this week, what’s your feeling about the pandemic in 2022?"
"I'm over COVID," Maher said.
"I was never scared of it. I was always scared of the reaction to it, and as this has played out that only proved to be more true for me. I’m sure many people feel different, but that’s me. It was never that virulent a threat, I thought, to people who were in good health," Maher said.
