Brand made a powerful impact on Bill Maher’s nationally acclaimed Real Time with Bill Maher, emerging as one of the few A-list celebrities to boldly challenge the authoritarian measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Western world. He also criticized Big Pharma for testing experimental vaccines on the public, which have since been linked to widespread adverse side effects globally. With Big Pharma’s significant influence over mainstream media—driven by their substantial advertising expenditures in the United States—Brand has faced political persecution through flimsy allegations aimed at discrediting and silencing his voice. Notably, these claims surfaced only after he spoke out against the pharmaceutical giants that reaped hundreds of billions in profits during the pandemic.
