Liberal talk show host Bill Maher has had an awakening about the COVID-19 pandemic in recent months. Maher ripped the legacy media for “scaring the s**t” out of people over COVID-19. He slammed those “on the left” who “politicized” the antiparasitic drug ivermectin. Maher skewered “pain in the a** blue states” for stringent COVID-19 restrictions while praising red states as a “joy.” Maher trashed Democrats for pandemic rules that he classified as “mindless bureaucracy.”

On the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the left-leaning political commentator took on the medical-industrial complex over things it has gotten wrong in the past and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Maher urged that we “focus on helping the vulnerable stay safe and let the rest of us get back to living normal lives.”

Maher referenced the numerous European countries that have loosened or ended their pandemic restrictions.
