'You don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine.'

Sorry, can’t find any better sources for this.

The animator then asked Maher what the “downside” of “getting a vaccine” was, which caused the comedian to go on an anti-vax tirade.

“The fact that you the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, all vaccines,” he ranted. “They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does. You can see it in the literature. They can’t write it on their back on the vaccine. So you have to dig them. And of course, there is a vaccine court because so many people have been injured.”

    Second, it was misinformation at the time.

    what??? no it wasn’t. it was a plausible hypothesis.

    That’s how science works.

    that is not how science works. science works by a free exchange of ideas

    Unless an idea is supported by clear and sound evidence, it’s untrue.

    no. something can be completely true but not at all supported by evidence. You are confusing “truth” with “a broader scientific belief”

    The lab leak theory can be misinformation at one point in time and viable at another point in time –

    that doesn’t make sense, and isn’t what “misinformation” even means.

    if I predicted heavy snowfall on a 74 degree day in June, it would very obviously be wrong. If I predict it for a 20 degree day in December however, it’s actually plausible.

    well that’s the stupidest analogy i’ve ever read… the “date” and “temperature” of the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis didn’t change.

    It blows my mind that this is a novel concept for some people.

    it blows my mind that you’re patting yourself on the back for such utter drivel
