Bill Maher is an alt-med dumbass

When you get pwned by former Senator Bill Frist of "I can diagnose Terri Schiavo from the Senate Floor" fame, you're seriously hurting. Maher doesn't believe in ANY vaccines, though how we eradicated polio and smallpox doesn't seem to occur to him. He completely wrongly believes that vaccines contain live disease which can cause the very disease they're trying to prevent. He seems to believe odd conspiracy theories about how the gubmint is involved in the vaccine business but states no reasons for his belief. And he quote mines crap that's either inaccurate or VERY old.

Frist does a decent job here but really needed to come out stronger against Maher's inexplicable smugness. At least Frist is right and telling it to Maher's face. Maher is spouting death here. People who listen to his advice could die.
