Why is Maher so invincibly ignorant on this topic? He doesn't even appear to know the difference between a live vaccine and an inactivated one. It's not a matter of having a differing opinion, it's having an opinion which somehow completely fails to take into account generations of conclusive global public health data. My own anecdotal evidence? I have had a severely suppressed immune system for years - equivalent to someone on chemotherapy or an organ transplant recipient. I get a flu shot every year and I have never a. contracted influenza from the vaccine, or b. contracted influenza at all. This is just embarrassing. Why is Maher so invincibly ignorant on this topic?
