re: #47 Hecuba’s daughter

And once again tonight, Bill Maher was on his crusade that deaths are primarily among those who are overweight — that Covid is not particularly deadly among healthy people with the appropriate BMI and strong immune systems. At least he isn’t personally discouraging people from being vaccinated. But his attitude doesn’t help persuade the vaccine reluctant of the necessity of vaccination.

Maher’s always been a self-righteous asshole, and his attitude towards COVID has only helped reinforce that. When he was asked to either isolate or take precautions like masking, he bitched that it was inconveniencing him that events he wanted to attend were being canceled and businesses he was used to frequenting were either closed or restricted. And when the vaccines became available, he made a big scene of getting the jab, but has since bitched that things didn’t magically go back to “normal” on his time schedule.

When he bitches about the only people dying being the obese and sickly, he’s just engaging in the same sort of social Darwinist claptrap that his ideological opponents did last year to argue that we should just gamble that grandma makes it through the plague so we can all “go back to normal.”
