    Is it just me? Or does anyone else find the audience yelling “woo“ after every joke line to be highly annoying? I finally had a mute various times during the show just to kill the audience’s ridiculous screaming. I’m afraid Real Time is getting more and more difficult to actually watch.

      Yes! I generally agree with Bill (except sometimes when he acts like a boomer, masks, cali laws etc), but the over the top audience that claps no matter what is a bit much.

      That's a sweet thought, but not an easy issue to judge. I'm not for war, but I do understand that there are necessary horrors in war. What you seem to be saying is that we should not have carpet bombed Germany during WWII, because so many innocent people were killed. I like that thought... and I also know that there is such a thing as being too idealistic.

    • @precisiongrinder
      @precisiongrinder 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Welcome to the Earth. Leaders of a lot of countries here try not to kill too many innocents, but it happens anyways. It happens anyways. It happens anyways. Then, there are leaders that go over the edge, like Hitler for one example. It happens anyways. Shitty people gain power, and a lot of innocents die when others attempt taking them out. It sucks that so many people die when they don’t have to. It happens in our own country. It happens anyways.

      I find that when it comes to journalism, you can tell someone is as close to objective as possible when (1) that person can criticize the entirety of the ideological or political spectrum when necessary, not when convenient. (2) And if you have a hard time putting them into one of those ideological and political boxes, then there's a good chance they don't embody a particular identity politics.

      Japan also has one of the highest rates of suicide on the planet, mask wearing is widely known to have a profoundly detrimental affect on human interaction so I personally wouldn't be so quick to take social cues from them.

I’m a fan, but Bill on this subject just frustrates me to no end. Myself and all of my colleagues all practice with these things in mind and make a lot of effort to reach people on these subjects so to regularly hear such incorrect assumptions and generalizations on what doctors supposedly do just is so disheartening, especially as a primary care doctor. I wish he’d have some actual physicians on to discuss the real deal. And not political takes, like the real inside of what is going on and the actual day to day barriers that then leave these impressions.
    And no, ivermectin is not just a horse de-wormer, but it is an anti-PARASITIC, you use it when someone has a parasite, not a virus. Before anyone takes such a medication that can also fyi be quite hard on the liver (not to mention all of its potential drug interactions) they should have a real solid indication for why there are doing so as well as be monitored while receiving it, and that’s no joke nor is it political-speak.

    • @Powderfinger07

      - Covid wasn’t an issue in the global south because they had access to cheap off label treatments. We know why those very treatments were demonized, along with the doctors advocating for their use in the West. Nor why proper studies on such treatments were not commissioned by those that hold the purse strings on the research. Rather only bogus studies with fixed results published by journals underwritten by the pharma industry and their captured regulatory agencies who benefit from keeping positive results suppressed. As we saw with the phony research conducted on HCQ in the spring of 2020, when both The Lancet and NEJM had to retract their publications. Luckily there were several studies conducted that proved an over 80% effectiveness rate with IVM. You can leave a comment stating you’re a physician and claiming Ivermectin has no benefit for covid, but your opinion does run counter to many frontline doctors that have had lots of success, and since they have been censored and harassed, I tend to believe them and their evidence, because it’s not real science if doctors and scientists around the world are being censored and their research suppressed. You sound more like someone that just obeys the symbols of authority, and follows the indoctrination patterns of your big pharma masters rather than has a curiosity and passion to actually help patients by looking at the data and research from doctors that have treated thousands of covid patients with great success. Hope to god you never prescribed Remdesivir or are pushing an unnecessary experimental gene therapy concoction onto children.

      I wished Elliot Spitzer was still around in politics. He was actually going to be the next president on the course he was on. And what he did was nothing compared to what some of the Republicans have done in recent years. As a matter a fact, it's nothing compared to what republicans have done. She's a zero in regards, that she had nothing to LOSE. Bill is not the same person, politically he was 15 years ago when I first started watching him, nor at his live shows I used to attend of him when he came to town. He's basically sold out the base of fans who actually made him. They have all left him now.

    Antibiotics are given to patients with viral infections when they develop secondary bacterial infections. In COVID-19, secondaries boost mortality by double or more.

      You do know that Biden operated under the treaty that trump negotiated as to the date to pull out. It's not like Biden said, let's go now, he decided that pulling out according to the terms already negotiated was less costly than trying to renegotiate a deal that the other side was hostile to reenter talks with. Also valid studies have proven that Ivermectin is ineffective in treating Covid, so the resistance to an unproven medicine was the right call. No one was against it because trump supported it, they were against it because there was no proof for it's efficacy and subsequent studies have proven it is worthless as a treatment cor Covid.
