He'd probably both insult how masks look, and then insist you wear one to not kill him. Then take the piss out of anybody refusing to wear one... then find things that I can't even imagine to insult.

No, he citied a very specific instance in which children from his neighborhood never contracted it, supposedly due to their immune systems being buffed from constant exposure to pathogens.

he doesnt mention the polio vaccine specifically

I doubt he was against such a thing, and if he was then he was being a fucking idiot

It wouldn't have been his choice anyway, it would have been his mother's.

I think that was supposed to be a joke.

But on-topic, I would have loved to hear Carlin's take on everything that has happened since his death. Particularly the recent stuff

Carlin was a funny dude. Most of us loved him, because he was blunt about everything and told it like it was.

It's sad when people try to use him as a Jesus-y example of confirming everything they believe he should have stood for to match their rhetoric.

This board wouldn't be able to handle his real answer on this stuff, because Carlin was 100% anti-politically correct. This board has completely caved to PC correctness.

Theres nothing politically correct about telling people to wear masks because a disease is spreading

Carlin was a "Malthusian" and a misanthrope....which added to his charm as a prolific comedian, the best in the business.

He believed that not everyone has a right to their life, because there are too many stupid and apathetic people on this planet; that we can afford to lose people if events like a viral pandemic or a volcano was erupting.

If he lived to when the C-Virus came out, it'd kill him. Plus he'd be too busy bitching about Trump to talk about C-Virus.

Bah he would have just finished wrapping Bill and Ted's 3!! He wouldn't have time for trump.

Also even dead I bet he is laughing his ass off about Trump becoming president. It pretty much is the punch line for many of his rants.

Sure it is, almost. It comes from the fact that a lesser virus can give immunity to worse virus. An example is that a minor case of Cowpox could give you immunity to SmallPox.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowpox

As for the polio vaccine, there are two versions of that. One is a live vaccine that uses a weaken form of polio and can sadly still manage to give some people a full case of polio. The other is a dead form, that can never give you polio and should be the preferred version. (The dead version not as effective as the live version, but would be safer.)
