'You don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine.'

Sorry, can’t find any better sources for this.

The animator then asked Maher what the “downside” of “getting a vaccine” was, which caused the comedian to go on an anti-vax tirade.

“The fact that you the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, all vaccines,” he ranted. “They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does. You can see it in the literature. They can’t write it on their back on the vaccine. So you have to dig them. And of course, there is a vaccine court because so many people have been injured.”

    Huh…,That must mean that HBO will pay you even if you are sick and can’t produce a show. That’s nice, though I’m not sure all companies are like that…

      Isn’t that just sick time? I would hope any HBO employee would get sick time. The same at other networks. I would expect Colbert (and hopefully his crew if the union has worked that into the contract) got paid when he was off the air because his appendix ruptured.

        Sick t8me? These guys have million dollar contracts to deliver a given number of shows. That’s it. If they get get sick, they have to pay others to replace them. Unless you are like Johnny Carson, who had people who would do it for free.

          No one replaced Colbert. He just went off the air. So I hope everyone got paid while Colbert was sick. And I’m not sure why having high-paid contracts mean you don’t deserve sick time. This sounds suspiciously similar to people saying that the actors and writers didn’t need to strike because Tom Cruise is rich.

            Normally the production crew being union is covered.

            Point is that not everybody enjoys getting paid while being sick. He does, and it’s still a big check.

              Yes. And everybody should be paid while being sick even though they’re not. Which is not the fault of the people who are.

                Certainly those that do get paid for being sick should not have the audacity to voice a very public opinion ignoring those that are not paid. You may call that having empathy, I call it having class.
