Bill Maher ripped the liberal media for “scaring the s—” out of people by fearmongering during the pandemic.

During his appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, the 65-year-old “Real Time With Bill Maher” host cited a survey in The New York Times — “which is a liberal paper so they weren’t looking for this answer,” Fox News reported.

“The question was, ‘What do you think the chances are that you would have to go to the hospital if you got COVID?’ And Democrats thought that was, way higher than Republicans,” Maher said. “The answer is between 1 percent and 5 percent.”

He said 41 percent of Democrats thought it was over 50 percent, while 28 percent thought it was between 20 percent and 49 percent of patients ending up in the hospital.

I will give Maher credit on this one. When he is right he is right.

If you keep a population in fear, that’s how you control them. If you’re worrying about COVID suddenly the border, economy, and Afghanistan don’t matter as much.

“I know you and your boyfriend, Howard Stern are very paranoid about this but it’s a little weird that I got it after, but now many, many, many people have had the same situation,” Maher said Wednesday.

I may like the little Bridge troll after all.

Ironically, the border is exactly why I know not to take this disease seriously. Not as much as commie Dems do.

Regarding the mono clonal treatment that Biden is refusing to the southern states Biden’s attitude is what “free healthcare for all” will be like. Align with Biden and you can have the bypass surgery. Question the dems or think for yourself and you cannot have the bypass surgery. It is as cut and dried as that.

Dear God, I have agreed with Maher twice in two weeks.

The end is nigh…

Media lies scare me more than media information.

We haven’t had anything like trustworthy media ‘information’ in my living memory!

Maher is reporting that the horse escaped the barn 50 years ago. He was instrumental in helping the new stalinists take power.

Larry Terrell was pretty liberal once not to long ago. Maher may come around. Nah. He knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Maher is still a huge lib, obviously. His only point through all of this is that the left has gone WAY too far in the last few years. He’s right, obviously, but he’s still not our friend. Haha.

If Leftist Democrats want to have the sh** scared out of them, let them realize what the Israeli and Indian experiences are teaching us. That is that lockdowns, masks, social distancing, don’t work, vaccines barely do... for a while, but ultimately fail, and that Ivermectin does work. This is the result, not of “disinformation”, but “information”... reality, facts! Remember facts? Those things Biden doesn’t believe in?

That would be interesting, wouldn’t it?

He forgot to mention the missing word…

Bill Maher told Jimmy Kimmel, if you get COVID-19 after receiving the vaccine, “you almost never die from it.” (YET).

I don’t believe he correct on this final point

Bottom line is we know, if you’re vaccinated, you almost never die from it,” he added.

this all started with Big tech a bunch of leftist Antifa types running all opinion and conversations online. Online is how we all get most of our information now so if ONE side controls the “facts” and “News” then people get brainwashed, add that to the effective propaganda that has been pushed for decades in schools that is pro Marxist and anti West and anti White.
