Dr. Robert Malone-a medical doctor and an infectious-disease researcher and an mRNA scientist-had his Twitter account suspended earlier today.

Dr. Malone, who had sounded the alarm that he and many other physicians who spoke up about the Covid vaccines’ risks are being “hunted via medical boards and the press.”
“I am going to speak bluntly,” tweeted Malone. “Physicians who speak out are being actively hunted via medical boards and the press. They are trying to deligitimize and pick us off one by one. This is not a conspiracy theory – this is a fact.”
In the past, he has highlighted the corrupt workings of the government regulatory bodies that have mismanaged the pandemic and who are not transparent about the risk of the vaccine, discussed the problems he sees with the vaccine program, and made claims about the shady origins of the Covid-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China.
Dr. Malone’s outspoken views on the mRNA Covid vaccines have drawn a lot of attention, and with the new Twitter CEO, Parag Agrawal, at its helm and known anti-free speech views, it’s not surprising his account was suspended.
Yesterday, it was reported that Just the News Founder, John Solomon, had his Twitter account suspended for a report he shared about the legal distinctions between Pfizer’s fully approved and emergency use authorization (EUA) COVID-19 vaccines, which could affect the legality of vaccine mandates.
Twitter marked Mr. Solomon’s tweet that it “may be unsafe” and “could lead to real-world harm.”
Given the track record of Twitter, it would not be surprising if Dr. Malone’s Twitter account was permanently banned.
It may be noted that Dr. Malone has made past claims he invented the mRNA technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Still, there is no evidence to support he is the sole inventor of this technology. To make the claim he is the inventor is not entirely accurate.
According to the academic journal, Nature, “hundreds of scientists had worked on mRNA vaccines for decades before the coronavirus pandemic brought a breakthrough.”
However, in 1987, Dr. Malone “performed a landmark experiment. He mixed strands of messenger RNA with droplets of fat, to create a kind of molecular stew. Human cells bathed in this genetic gumbo absorbed the mRNA, and began producing proteins from it.”
The article continues (emphasis ours):
“Realizing that this discovery might have far-reaching potential in medicine, Malone, a graduate student at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, later jotted down some notes, which he signed and dated. If cells could create proteins from mRNA delivered into them, he wrote on 11 January 1988, it might be possible to “treat RNA as a drug”. Another member of the Salk lab signed the notes, too, for posterity. Later that year, Malone’s experiments showed that frog embryos absorbed such mRNA. It was the first time anyone had used fatty droplets to ease mRNA’s passage into a living organism.”
“Those experiments were a stepping stone towards two of the most important and profitable vaccines in history: the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines given to hundreds of millions of people around the world.”
“But the path to success was not direct. For many years after Malone’s experiments, which themselves had drawn on the work of other researchers, mRNA was seen as too unstable and expensive to be used as a drug or a vaccine. Dozens of academic labs and companies worked on the idea, struggling with finding the right formula of fats and nucleic acids — the building blocks of mRNA vaccines.”
