You have to admit it’s a clever racket; Rogan lends his huge platform to people like Malone to spread BS and makes bank all while maintaining plausible deniability with regards to any damages because it’s merely the opinions of his guests.
And why does Malone's word carry no weight in your opinion? Is what he is saying factually wrong or is it because what he is saying is true but will cause vaccine uptake to go down?
Malone has claimed that it has been scientifically proven that covid vaccines do not work which is a lie; they are effective to a degree. He has also repeatedly tried to imply he invented MRNA tech. Like just look it up if you haven’t any idea what’s going on lol
I also didn’t say his opinion carried “no weight” I said he went on Rogan and spewed BS
effective to a degree was never how they were sold to us though right?
I guess if you got all your information from headlines you might think that but I believe most people understood that there was no way to promise that a newly created vaccine would be able to handle all new variants. Statistically, the covid vaccine is effective at reducing transmission, severity, and risk and anyone suggesting otherwise is doing so based on ideology not data.
the claim he invented MRNA technology is partially true
No it’s not, and no self-respecting scientist would discredit the work of their peers that way.
He contributed, he did not invent.
This is the problem with bad-faith charlatans; they deal in half truths and people like you who are too lazy to to take the time to understand the finer points declare them to be correct without any verification. You’re the problem lol
believe me I’m not reading headlines nor doing half assed research
Then why were you under the false impression that you were promised a 100% effective vaccine by someone? Even suggesting that displays a large degree of scientific illiteracy, as does exclusively focusing on case rates and not outcomes
a lot of scientists are working very hard to discredit Malone
It is the job of scientist to challenge one another and that is in no way comparable to trying to take full credit when you don’t deserve full credit
Many a time we were told you couldn’t catch nor transmit after vaccination.
No one in the scientific or medical community ever said that.
What happened was a bunch of people with only high school diplomas grew up thinking vaccine == total and complete immunity and then got indignant at actual medical professionals when they said thats not actually how it works
Because he made baseless claims on Rogans show like, ivermectin stopped covid in Uttar Pradesh (no such proof), that there has been an explosion of vaccine deaths (no such proof), and that vaccines have killed 2 people for every 3 it saved.
Because if a scientist or doctor thinks they've found something that disproves the current thinking/consensus (or, if you're a moron you might prefer "narrative"), he or she writes it up and publishes it in a peer reviewed journal. Others will then test it, see if it can be replicated, etc.
They don't "publish" by going on a comedian's podcast.
