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.”
Chiropractors are not doctors. They’re scam artists.
Cracking your back might make you relax your muscles and as a result feel less pain for a short time but medically, it’s of no more benefit than taking a hot bath.
My wife’s cousin was married to a woman (and he still brings her to family functions for some reason) who worked for her chiropractor father. She always calls him a doctor and it annoys the fuck out of me.
Well, you can get a doctorate in anything and still be referred to as doctor.
“This man is having a seizure! Is there a doctor on board?!”
“I’m a doctor of anthropology.”
“Good. You’ll be helpful after he’s dead and buried.”
Sure. My dad had a doctorate. He was a professor. Some students even called him Dr. [My last name]. But he would never have called himself a doctor. That’s different.

Ah, good ol’ perpetuation of bullshit.
Just like in Western medicine, sure, there exists a handful of quack Chiro’s that give the profession a bad name. And many who have not evolved with the research.
Modern Chiro’s are not just focused on spinal manipulation. They incorporate a diverse set of techniques, including a lot of PT rehabilitation overlap.
However… Some of us do require that temporary relief that only an adjustment can provide. I myself joint disorders that lead to an uncomfortable increase of pressure that needs release. I can pretty much ‘pop’ nearly every bone in my body. I hate it, but that’s how my body is. They are all different. Chiro’s have a place, maybe they don’t work for you, but they are Doctors, and for many of us, they provide relief that others cannot.
Lol, the one time I went to a chiropractor (because my boss agreed to pay for it while not agreeing to pay for me to see a real doctor) the “diverse set of techniques” included taking an x-ray of my back while I stood on a sloped chair and then telling me one leg was shorter than the other, and pointing a copper cone at my stomach and rubbing it so it squeaked and telling me he was “reading my internal vibrations”.
Do not confuse MDs for Chiropractors or vice versa. Most chiros only go to graduate school for four years, and do not learn most of what MDs do. It’s part of the scam - they get to use “doctor” and people think that means medical professional.
It’s the Vitamins of Medical Practices. There’s no proof it works, but if you feel like it does, you do you.
