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.”

The more mask off he goes the more I am shocked that even neolibs keep watching him.

It was during the pandemic that he started going off the rails. It was around that time that he started complaining about things being woke and I felt like this was coming. It was the initially smaller comments until I stopped watching as he kept focusing on how things were too woke and it just got super annoying. Not surprised. Others are saying this shit started earlier but I didn’t notice till like 2020/2021. Haven’t watched since then but guessing it’s gotten worse.

with mounting evidence of serious neurological interaction between the virus and the host, it is not surprising at all that a certain percentage of the population might get a low-symptom infection that rewires their brains just enough to let the crazy out.

It was after he was on Joe Rogan, he didn't like that Rogan had built his weird man cave in a hangar and he was stuck on TV

He had Jordan Peterson and Ted Cruz on at the same time. That's more than giving "fair time" to the right, that's just a vomitfest of hatred and ignorance.

He used to willingly date Ann Coulter the epitome of vomitfest hatred and ignorance

Having her as a friend should have been a sign.

The idea is to use the media to push those neolibs further right. Just a sheep dog doing sheep dog things.

Neolibertarianism has more in common with Neoconservatisim than liberalism at this point

I would be curious to see the Venn Diagram overlap of those that still watch him and those that watch/listen to Joe Rogan. I bet it's a circle.
