He’s a comedian, more than a commentator. If he believes some crazy shit, hey! Par for the course for funny men. If I ignored every comedian or musician or writer that held some wacky belief, I would have no books on my bookshelf and no records in my record collection.

Having said all that, anyone who is getting their health advice from Bill Maher is screaming bonkers.

Let’s see. Bill Cosby is a comedian, yet he pontificates on a lot of things like family issues and social issues.

The general public DOES listen to highly visible public people. And you can’t assume that everyone is as smart as you are.

In the least, this is irresponsible on Maher’s part. His opinion does matter.
