But Malone hasn’t led with any insider info. Instead he follows, becoming just as much of a convert as needed to lead the controlled opposition he organizes (and most of his followers don’t even recognize as such).
After inconvenient truths are uncovered he, to a degree, fesses up to them.
Yes, Malone used to be part of the machine.
Yes, he has an opinion on many things outside of his field of expertise and they are not really more valuable than mine or yours.
Yes, he was slow on the uptake at the outset of this, but I think many of us were “hoping for the best” at the beginning.
The value of Malone and why he was one of the more important voices during Covid was his insider knowledge of the product, the processes, and agencies. That was his world - not ours. He provided some valuable insights specific to the vaccines and disease that were not available elsewhere.
He has veered outside of his specialty and that has become something that sells podcasts. I remain uncertain about some of his claims because I am not sure that our “bureaucracy” is that smart, but who knows? The 5th generation warfare concept is interesting.
