Whoopi Goldberg is slamming Bill Maher for cracks he made calling COVID-19 mitigation efforts “bananas,” saying there’s nothing funny about the pandemic.
“How dare you be so flippant, man,” Goldberg said Monday on “The View,” in response to remarks Maher made on Friday on his HBO show, “Real Time.”
“I don’t want to live in your paranoid world anymore — your masked, paranoid world,” Maher said. “You go out — it’s silly now. You know you have to have your mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster. They scan your head like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of bananas,” Maher said to laughs from the audience.
“I’m not bananas — you are,” he added.
“That’s not really funny to people who have lost their kids,” the “View” co-host said of Maher’s comments, “or people who have lost family members or dear friends to this.”
“Listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this,” Goldberg, 66, continued. “This is not something we’re doing because it’s sexually gratifying. This is what we’re doing to protect our families.”
“You don’t have to do it, but stay away from everybody,” she said.
“I want to point out, there are little kids who can’t get vaccinated. Lots of people who cannot get vaccinated, so you’re playing Russian roulette with their lives,” the Academy Award winner added.
Children under 5 are currently the only age group not eligible to get vaccinated.
Goldberg tested positive for COVID-19 in December, the ABC daytime talk show announced earlier this month.
“Since she’s vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms are fortunately very, very mild,” co-host Joy Behar said at the time.
Goldberg’s criticism came after Maher made headlines last week in a wide-ranging interview with Deadline in which the comedian advised the public against blindly following COVID-19 recommendations made by White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci and the medical community.
“Don’t sit there in your white coat and tell me ‘Just do what we say,’ ” Maher, 66, said.
It’s not the first time that Goldberg and Maher have engaged in a public war of words. Last year, they took aim at one another when the HBO host criticized the NFL for playing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the Black national anthem, before games.

It’s not only dishonest, but downright despicable to try to equivocate bad policies with policies that actually help children. The mask and vaccine mandates are NOT based on REAL science, and yet you continue to try to make people believe that bullcrap. I hope every comedian in the world mocks all the ignorant fools forever for believing that mandates were a wonderful thing. They were at best the work of Satan, globalist elites and progressives, and I think you probably know that, which makes you all the more complicit in the attempted destruction of this nation and others around the world. The RED WAVE is coming, and you can’t stop it. The faster you disengage from the left, the better your future will be. Don’t be a fool. It’s not pretty on woman celebrities.
So the whopper is a medical pro now.Ha
Well Ms Piglet no one cares for your opinion. You are a Racist Socialist and long overdue to be retired.
