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.”

My partner and I were on a road trip over the holidays & looking for something to listen to.

He saw Seth’s podcast with Maher & asked if I wanted to listen (we’re both fans of Seth).

I said fuck no.

Glad I didn’t waste my time with that bullshit.

wish people would stop giving time and space to bill maher because he's always been an asshole since the 90s but at least it gives me another reason to post roddy piper verbally destroying him.
