David Gorski, writing today at Science-Based Medicine, has a comprehensive post detailing Bill Maher’s various woo beliefs – specifically his anti-science views about medicine and (most) vaccinations. It’s a long piece, but worth a read, and worth referencing – all Maher’s faulty thinking detailed in one place.
