Flu vaccines and mercury:

The issue of whether mercury causes autism or alzheimers is another issue. However, I do know that Mercury even in small doses is toxic.

The life expectancy in this country is higher than it has ever been in this nation’s history. The reason is mainly two things: sanitation and modern medicine. To all those who believe in holistic medicine I want to call your bluff. The next time you or someone you know has a real disease (cancer, heart attack, stroke) I urge you to use only herbs and acupuncture to heal them.

I have not heard what Maher says about psychics or alternative medicine.

But let it be known, acupuncture and herbs ARE part of modern medicine.

Modern medicine, though it has found many treatments, their usual approach to curing you is based on the belief that you have too many organs, or you don’t have enough drugs in your system.

I like Maher and agree with him far more than I disagree with him.

Like Robin, I admire Christopher Hitchens and his intellect, but I find him morally contemptible.

Maher also won the 1999 pigasus award for endorsing a series of psychics. Would be nice to hear if he still believes in haunted houses, or if he considers himself to be religulous…

[...] Maher, on Larry King Live yesterday, referred to the Bible as “a collection of Jewish fairytales” that should be kept fully [...]

I like Maher and agree with a lot of what he says, but whenever he talks about medicine he dives right into woo-ville.

I can’t wait for this movie to come out! Thanks so much for posting. I don’t agree with Bill Maher on everything, either, but overall, I have much more to like about him than not.

Bill Maher sounds so great… until you ask him about Holistic Medicine… He’s got a lot of gall calling himself a rationalist when he denies scientific evidence for modern medicine and praises Holistic Medicine which is just a scam that feeds on ignorance.

Wow. So many rationalists out there, and so many of them seem to have their Achilles heels. Why is that?

Regardless of Maher’s views on medicine (which are obviously irrational), he did an exceptional job of defending the rationalist stance in this clip, IMO.
