10. You are completely misrepresenting Bill Maher's position.
Edited on Mon Oct-19-09 02:27 AM by BzaDem
He is not on a pro-freedom crusade. He is on an anti-vaccine crusade. He thinks anyone who would take a flu vaccine is an idiot. http://twitter.com/billmaher/status/4403617471

He actively pushes for people not to take vaccines.

People with those views, thanks to our First Amendment, are allowed to freely propagate them. But the First Amendment does not guarantee Bill Maher his own show, and HBO should consider the implications of what they are endorsing.

In reality, those who can get vaccinated and do not are idiots. But as long as they stay out of the way of people who can't get vaccinated and do not try to bring others into their delusions, I don't care. I also don't care about people who don't believe in evolution, or don't believe in global warming. Those people (for the most part) are not harming others with their idiocy. But Bill Maher is actively trying to spread anti-scientific bullshit, and that bullshit could result in needless deaths.
