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.
Not really. Michael Yeadon offered a more honest and accurate take from the start, for example.
What Malone did (with Ryan Cole at his side), along with insinuating himself into the counter movement as a “leader” was to lead members of that movement into milquetoast, watered-down forms of opposition. For example, he put together a worldwide group of medical experts who agreed to settle on the claims only that children shouldn’t be mandated to get jabbed and doctors should be allowed to prescribe early treatment.
When announcing the “Pandemic Health Alliance” in 2021, with Malone as its president, they went out of their way, repeatedly, to state that they are not “anti-vaccine” and not addressing the Covid jabs directly at all:
This is the sort of day late, dollar short, limited hangout in which operatives like Malone specialize. In this case, they corralled would be medical activists into their limited hangout under the pretext that that was how they could get and maintain consensus. What they really did was soak up funding, time and focus on a tepid half measure, without directly challenging the jabs at all.
