“Real Time” host Bill Maher ended his show Friday night by calling for a “coronavirus commission” to investigate how the country mishandled the pandemic.
“We didn’t know exactly what was going on in the early days of COVID-19, and we understand that some mistakes were inevitable,” Maher told the audience. “But four years later, I’m tired of hearing, ‘No, we didn’t know.’ ‘No, we didn’t know. But some people guessed it better than others. .And those who were wrong now don’t seem to want to admit it.”
“Some said that closing schools for such an extended period of time would be pointless and cause even more collateral damage to our children, and they were right,” Maher said.

Maher featured a hit article in the Daily Beast in 2021 examining the lab leak theory, with the headline, “Bill Maher promotes Steve Bannon Wuhan lab conspiracy theory,” which he described as “mainstream.” It’s typical of the media.” at that time. “
“Of course, it wasn’t a conspiracy theory, it wasn’t Steve Bannon’s property. And now everyone, including the Biden administration, believes there’s at least a 50-50 chance that the virus originated in a U.S. lab. “No wonder Wuhan was doing gain-of-function research on that virus! But I haven’t seen many retractions in print,” Maher said.

HBO host Bill Maher slammed The Daily Beast for airing a hit piece after suggesting the coronavirus leaked from a Wuhan lab.
The HBO host blasted years-old claims that natural immunity is inferior to coronavirus vaccines, calling out coronavirus-era overreactions like washing mail and wearing masks outdoors. I have listed a few.
“Because the last thing you want to do when your disease is progressing is to get fresh air, sunlight, and vitamin D,” Maher quipped. “No, I’d much rather be stuck at home, stressed out, and drinking alcohol all day.”
“Indeed, some very bad ideas have become accepted as conventional wisdom and some have not aged well. And many of the opposing views that were suppressed and ridiculed at the time have been proven correct.” Maher said. “Perhaps that’s why the powers that be, never wanted, don’t want a coronavirus commission. Why not? We love commissions! The Warren Commission, the AIDS Commission, the 9/11 Commission. There was also a thing in the NFL called “Is it bad for your head to hit someone else in the head?” “Fees.”

“So where is the coronavirus committee? Because we don’t seem to have learned anything. Perhaps the number one lesson from the pandemic was the need for proper ventilation. Number two, I’m not going to be on Zoom with Jeffrey Toobin,” Maher quipped. .
“But if there was a powerhouse renovating buildings, I missed it. Gain-of-function research is still being done in the lab. We torture animals by raising their food in harsh conditions…We’ve given away $4 trillion in free money, $280 billion of which is part of what the Associated Press called “the greatest corruption in U.S. history.” It was completely stolen and started an inflationary spiral that is now being blamed on Biden. Bring back Trump?! The guy who ignored the coronavirus like it was a dinner check?!”
“Talk about not learning anything,” Maher added.
