Legendary “Cheers” actor Woody Harrelson told Bill Maher the “last people” he would trust with his own health is “Big Pharma and Big Government” — and he explained why.
During the 61-year-old actor’s appearance on the “Club Random with Bill Maher” podcast Sunday, the TV actor and host discussed the response to the COVID-19 pandemic over the last two-plus years. The two agreed that trusting the pharmaceutical companies and government rather than a person’s own doctor is bizarre. The host asked his guest would it be that crazy that the pharma industry wouldn’t say advocate for “more boosters than were necessary” for profit?
“Like most Americans would not normally trust the government with helping them,” Harrelson replied. “Like what does the government actually do to help you?”
“They help big corporations, industries, all the people that got…those people into Congress, or ultimately to become President,” he added. “Those people all got to get taken care of.”
Maher repeated that American’s “don’t trust the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). We have the polling on this.”
“Okay so here’s the CDC promoting that we have to do this all these things,” the actor shared. “I don’t like profiteering in war. Think of the billions of dollars that have gone to Big Pharma.”
“Back to my original point, the last people I would trust with my health is Big Pharma and Big Government because neither one of those strike me as caring entities,” the “Zombieland” star added. “They’re all about profit, they’re all about profit. It’s obscene the profit they’ve made.”

At one point, the HBO host pointed out the fact that there was never a proposal from the government or CDC to handle the pandemic “internally.”
“There was no even suggestion if we handle this internally by making our immune systems stronger,” Maher explained. “Not just with diet, but some basic things you can do… instead of locking yourself away.”
Harrelson agreed and noted things like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were considered “ridiculous.”
“There was only one thing that would work and that’s the vaccine,” Woody explained. “And so ultimately because of that, billions of dollars was made.”
In a world like that no wonder Winston wanted to rebel in all the ways he could find.
We are in it, now..........................
It revealed itself in COVID.
Strange how they operate first it’s wear masks and get shots now it’s onto other stuff Russia, China, Climate etc. etc.
They are our 'Emmanuel Goldsteins'................
Old school liberals sound more and more like conservatives every day…
WTH are you talking about!? Clarify your anti-vaxxer comment.
Are you lumping anti-Covidiocy MRNA jab people such as myself, with anti-vax fools as well as Q-tards?
Being agains mRNA has proven to be the smart way to go.
Bring anti-vax is stupid.
Q-tards need to seek mental help.
There it is
No they do not. That may be your experience with your doc. Your overly broad statements are complete nonsense
Gosh, if Woody Harrelson understands the logic of all this - there has to be a ground swell of people coming to their senses?
There’s no argument here.
“A man who is not a good actor...”
Nonsense!
Did you read that right?
Absolutely. More people need to know that.
Yeah. I can’t post it, but do you remember Alyssa Milano’s crochet mask? Pretty stupid....

Nope. I replied that I did not.
Not all qtrds are anti vax, but you must admit that the most virulent do have the same ideology. Not an insult intended, merely an anecdotal observation.
This guy played Admiral Nimitz in a CGI cartoon movie.
Legendary??
Legendary idiocracy.
Legendary dufus.
Legendary wokeness.
