When you're wrong about something, after some time passes, just deciding that you were right doesn't mean that you weren't wrong. Can we get that message to Bill Maher and all of the other folks rewriting COVID history to fit their agenda.

[link removed] Remember when Bill Maher said he was "over COVID" in that January 2022 Deadline interview ( [link removed] ) ? At least 280,000 people have died with COVID in the United States since then...

After all, as we learn more and more about COVID and COVID vaccines, all we are really discovering is that all of these folks were really, really wrong.

Bill Maher is Still Wrong About COVID

Bill Maher ( [link removed] ) is not only wrong, he's dead wrong.

To be fair, he didn't directly say all of the things on the list, but he did criticize wearing masks, social distancing, COVID tests, handwashing, and showing support for front line workers.

[link removed] Were there ever recommendations to wear masks outdoors ( [link removed] ) , like if you were at the beach? Yes, early in the pandemic, but only if you were within six feet of other people who do not live in your household. Someone who was alone, walking on the beach would not need to wear a mask.

Bill Maher also pushed several other ideas that are wrong, like the lab leak theory ( [link removed] ) and that natural immunity is better than vaccinated immunity.

You Can't Rewrite COVID History

And many other so-called COVID experts have been trying to rewrite COVID history by pushing the ideas on the list ( [link removed] ) .

> "But instead of evolving their position based on new data, some, instead, keep trying to show how they were still right in early 2020, digging themselves an even deeper hole."

> Why can’t some scientists just admit they were wrong about Covid?

Why?

You can't sell ivermectin ( [link removed] ) prescriptions ( [link removed] ) if people think it doesn't work...

COVID came from a lab - the lab leak theory ( [link removed] ) has never been proven and most experts ( [link removed] ) have "stated that the COVID-19 pandemic most likely originated via a natural zoonotic event, defined as an event in which a non-human animal infected a human, and in which the infection did not occur in the course of any form of virological or biomedical research."

Ivermectin worked - ivermectin ( [link removed] ) works great to treat head lice and roundworm parasites, but not COVID.

Masks offered no benefit and were harmful - the only thing that was harmful ( [link removed] ) was the misinformation saying masks do more harm than good ( [link removed] ) !

Should have never kept kids out of school - closing schools for extended periods of time did come at a high cost - kids fell way behind, especially when you consider there weren't many benefits - COVID continued to spread in those communities. Should experts have known that? Closing schools did seem to work in previous large outbreaks and likely had some benefit early in the pandemic ( [link removed] ) ...

Natural immunity is better than vaccinated immunity - natural immunity ( [link removed] ) is certainly not better, because you have to earn that immunity ( [link removed] ) by surviving a life-threatening infection! And you have the added risk of long-covid ( [link removed] ) , even if you do survive.

Long COVID is often a symptom of long vax - this is not true. In fact, studies have shown that COVID vaccines reduce your risk of developing long-covid ( [link removed] ) .

Hospitals murdered COVID patients - this is not true ( [link removed] ) . The COVID pandemic did overwhelm and put a significant strain ( [link removed] ) on our health care system though.

COVID fatality rate and death count were highly inflated - this has been debunked repeatedly. COVID death counts were not inflated ( [link removed] ) .

Unvaccinated were scapegoated for the failure of the shots - COVID vaccines have been very successful. Variants and not being up to date are the reason for the "failure of the shots." Those claiming scapegoating also see "significant C19 risk overestimation among the public" but cite folks like John Ioannidis ( [link removed] ) to make their point. If Bill Maher wants to highlight scapegoating ( [link removed] ) , it should be the "incidents of bias, harassment, bullying, isolation, exclusion and racism against the Asian community and those who are perceived as being Chinese or Asian" during the COVID pandemic.

Early treatment was suppressed to make way for a "vaccine" - from injecting bleach ( [link removed] ) , to taking chloroquine ( [link removed] ) , hydroxychloroquine ( [link removed] ) , azithromycin ( [link removed] ) , doxycycline, fluvoxamine, and ivermectin ( [link removed] ) , some people tried everything and anything to keep from getting sick with COVID or to get better. And far from suppressing these off-label treatments, most (well, not injecting bleach) were put to the test in clinical trials ( [link removed] ) .

Risks of the jab were intentionally hidden from the public - from anaphylaxis ( [link removed] ) to blood clots ( [link removed] ) with some vaccines and myocarditis ( [link removed] ) , the risks of COVID vaccines ( [link removed] ) have been very widely publicized. What is hidden? Folks like Bill Maher ( [link removed] ) rarely if ever seem to talk about the risks of getting COVID if you are intentionally unvaccinated - the long-term complications of COVID ( [link removed] ) !

Vaccine mandates are wrong - COVID vaccine mandates ( [link removed] ) were probably not a good idea...

More shots = more risk of infection - this is not true ( [link removed] ) ! Getting an updated COVID vaccine ( [link removed] ) , and no, there are not nine or 10 shots now ( [link removed] ) , will help protect you from the latest variants ( [link removed] ) .

COVID shots are neither safe nor effective - this is not true!

COVID vaccines are not only safe and effective ( [link removed] ) , with few risks ( [link removed] ) , they are necessary ( [link removed] ) , as COVID is still a life-threatening disease.

Too many people who likely listen to folks like Bill Maher ( [link removed] ) have gotten that message too late.

Don't be one of them.

Get vaccinated and protected with an updated COVID vaccine ( [link removed] ) .
