Certain things can not be cured or immunized because thats not how shit works. Having a headache is not some disease or bacteria, its a natural function of your body. Its not possible to cure without genetically altering you. Thus, we treat the symptoms with painkillers and etc. And they work reasonably well.
When it comes to medicine, Bill is like a creationist.

@Azakhiel I know, its sad. He doesn't trust or even know what the fuck vaccines are either. Alternative medicine is the same thing as homeopathy, Bill of all people should know this.

@rapsta86 Depends on the context. Theres a difference in revolting for freedom and equality....and revolting because you want to force people to conform to religious beliefs and discriminate against others.

It's amazing how right Maher is right about a lot of things and how wrong he is about medecine. We all have our blind spots, I guess.
I mean, how does, say, chemotherapy only cure the symptoms of cancer ? Weird.

lol bill defends the assertion that Americans should have a violent revolution with him bringing up the quote, "the blood of patriots..." yet in recent times he has bashed Tea Partiers for asserting the same idea. As much as i revere Bill, i think i caught him in a contradiction

Bill confuses 2 different points here: there is something to be said for his point that SOME drugs only treat symptoms so you have to keep coming back for more; more attention would be paid to research and actual CURES if it wasn't all about the money Big Pharma can make.
But "Western Medicine" is certainly capable, indeed is the ONLY medicine capable, of coming up with appropriate solutions. Which is why there's huge queues at Red Cross tents in Africa, and not for acupuncture or massages.

theres no alternative to medicine, like theres no alternative for science come on, bill
There is nothing "alternative" about marijuana's medicinal qualities !!! It has been proven to be an effective painkiller and an apetite supplement. Do your research.
