Lots of questions around Dr. Malone. It's getting harder and harder not to see him as a limited hangout.

However, he was one drawing attention very early to risks of the injection. So regardless of what one may think of him, he has definitely done good in that regard.

No one is going to get everything right all the time. It’s up to us individually to sift.

All true, Copernicus. When you go down some of the deeper (and darker) rabbit holes, questions arise regarding his involvement with DARPA and remdesivir and the shots as a bioweapon. I can't honestly process all of the discussion and at times I just have to tap out and protect my heart from drinking too deeply from the well of cynicism.

You didn’t see his talk to children in Hawaii about taking it? I think he was with children health defense find . Video is out there.

The one where he did nothing as a doctor, via a doctor's opinion about pros/cons of a medical intervention, to either quell or stoke fears of a 12 year old? (Of course the latter is *not* a good idea.) Malone directed the fearful 12 year old to her parents. He did nothing in any manner to speak as a doctor to the issue of the shot, the thing the 12 year old had fear about. A 12 year old knows what a doctor is, and why we seek input from doctors. In my opinion, Malone did not do this child a service. He could very easily have given his opinion, clarifying that it is just his opinion, and *then* directed the girl to her parents, who he could also have clarified are free to disagree, allowing that he is not perfect, he just has an opinion, her parents are the ones she should go to for all kinds of things while she's growing up. I couldn't figure out what he was playing at. He completely abdicated as a knowledgeable professional. I know my memory is not mistaken about this exchange. I was stunned by his non-answer. It's likely the small group was hand-picked and all parents were already on board with keeping their children safe per Malone's publicly (adamant, internet at the very least) shared warnings and so he knew his direction/suggestion would probably save a child's life (per the shot). But the viewer has no way of knowing for sure; it wasn't disclosed. That whole clip was uncomfortable and gave me pause about the guy. Not for the first time. Has he done some good? Yes. Is he something else than what he presents himself as? Maybe. Time will tell. I for one proceed with caution. He's been tickling my spidey sense.

Exactly right. He came out early plain and simple.

Who knows what absolutely? This is always a question. HOWEVER ... I do know that anyone doing the right thing, whether it's 50, 75, 80 or 90 percent the right thing is going to come under attack aimed at neutralizing any good influence contrary to Evil Agenda being dumped on us. Freeze, neutralize and destroy ... in the words of Alinsky.

You said it right. Indeed, he came out early plain and simple. This counts big time.

I recall Alex Berenson has a beef with Malone.

Not sure if it adds up.

Seems more of an ego battle. Alex pissed off a lot of people for the unforced error by attacking Dr. Malone.

Dr. Malone is the architect of the platform the later developed mRNA uses. He himself took the jab was injured and has beens sounding the alarm ever since.

I remember thinking at the time that it was a strange "flex" for Alex.

A couple of days ago Malone reviewed a piece from which he pulled an extract that used the terminology "birthing person." In his in-his-own-words summary he repeated the terminology. I blinked hard when I read it. What??! There were numerous comments about the terminology, one of which he responded to clearly stating that the terminology was theirs (the cited author/s') not his. Ok, but... why repeat the terminology in his summary without batting an eye? To me this smacks of "normalizing" its use, by not questioning it on the spot and revising it out of his in-his-own-words summary. Why not write "mother" instead of repeating the sociological-psychological hammer of "their" choice of language? Calls his integrity into question/adds fuel to the limited hangout theory for me. Just one of numerous ticks on that side of the ledger.

Check out Sage Hanna's substack if you really want to go down the rabbit hole of "Bob Malone" (as she calls him). It bothers me that he is suing Dr. Peter Breggin for $25 million dollars.

Yep, I’m familiar with the Sage’s 🐴. And also question why🐴 didn’t go after WaPo, NYT or any other deep pockets that he also “suffered” defamation from. No, he went after a little guy. Curious, eh?

Also remember reading many moons ago from him that each article he/Jill writes takes from 3-5 hours (sorry no link, but I’m 100% sure I read it), which, as an editor and sometime writer I know to be an accurate estimate, some more some less. So with a working farm (which he surely has help with), a consulting business (which I glean he is not as busy as he once was but is still a going concern), a domestic and international travel schedule that is constant and must be exhausting, and frequent taped media appearances (with who knows how much time ends up on the cutting room floor) on this or that outlet, I’m supposed to believe that he/Jill spends no less than 2-3 hours a day researching and writing at least one, occasionally two full articles and scours the net for his twice weekly collection of political memes and cartoons? No way. He has ghostwriters. Yes, occasionally he republishes articles requiring no writing per se, all fair, but the bulk of output is original writing. Yet puts his name on everything. This is a misrepresentation in my humble opinion. It’s not illegal, just disingenuous. Another tick on the other side of the ledger.

The truth will out at some point.

The title of his book is a bit galling too - "Lies My Government Told Me." Uh, Bob, YOU were intimately involved in the government via DARPA and other military consulting work. Something just way too...convenient about his whole story arc.

*I have not actually read his book so in fairness to him, maybe he addresses all the conflicts of interest.
