One of the very first things I saw about Dr. Malone is that he is a promoter of misinformation about the safety & efficacy of the vaccines.
Dr. Malone is a regular on FOX when they want to talk about Covid and he associates with Joe Rogan.
He's been reported to the Board of Physicians because of his Covid vaccine misinformation.
He's been banned from social media for misleading and for posting misinformation.
There are some who view Dr. Malone as brilliant and there was a time he asked valid questions about the vaccine, but once he was embraced by the far-right he went bonkers to the point that he now ignores scientific evidence. That's not me saying that, it's his former colleagues.
I'm telling you all this so you can get an idea of why I have the opinion I have.
Have you ever heard of Galileo? He was attacked mercilessly for his scientific views, and was only given due recognition long after he had died. Malone talks about this tendency, referencing C.S. Lewis, who I have great admiration for, and Karl Popper. Two great mind of the last millennium.
As for claims re misinformation, you need to cite specific examples and whatever evidence was presented to substantiate them, otherwise it's impossible to address them. But I'll say again that those who support the censorship of opposing viewpoints have no legitimate commitment to scientific methodology, because science cannot be conducted in such an environment. The West use to support the free exchange of thoughts and ideas, which is why we always had a big advantage over communist societies re technological development. Now it no longer does, because science has been privatized. Why do you overlook that blatantly obvious reality, Duchess?
