Bill Maher pushes back on Fauci: 'Don't sit there in your white coat and tell me "just do what we say"'

"But I've always maintained that the big overarching theme should be that people look back and say, 'Oh, look how far we've come medically.' Yes, that's true. We're not putting wooden teeth in our mouth like in the George Washington era, and of course we have antibiotics and lots of vaccines and lots of other things that have been miraculous. But in general, we still don't understand too much about how the human body works," Maher said.

Despite the country seeing more than 860,000 deaths from COVID-19 since 2020, Maher said he was "Never scared" of the pandemic.

Of vaccines, Maher - who tested positive for COVID-19 last May - said, "They just prevent you from dying, which is a great part of it, let's not undercount that. But if they don't prevent you from transmitting it and they don't prevent you from getting it why are we still treating this disease the way we always have?".

Maher said the country is much different than it was when "Real Time" first premiered in 2003.

Maher knocked Democrats as "The party of no common sense," saying they have "Inverted so much of traditional liberalism."

Calling the peaceful transfer of power the "Feather in our cap as America," Maher said, "And now these people on the right have broken that and God knows what's going to happen in the future."

Maher also offered a bleak prediction for the future, saying "The real day of reckoning is going to be between Election Day 2024 and Inauguration Day 2025, because that's when the rubber really hits the road.".
