My first thought is "yeah, this is some self-publicizing anti-vaxx fool". Am I wrong? Edit: hmm, some context: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021

It sounds like even if you were you wouldn't care.

Well, apparently he’s double vaccinated so I don’t know how someone can call him anti vax. From what I’ve seen, he’s more or less pointing out scientific arguments against vaccinating children or even mandating it for healthy, low risk people. I don’t necessarily agree with what he says, but I don’t see a problem with getting another viewpoint from someone that’s evidently well educated in the field.

> Am I wrong? Seems you are, though with all of the Newspeak going around now you can't be blamed. Dr. Malone is one of the foremost experts on mRNA technology, contributing much of the original research on it. He is also vaccinated. The only positions I've seen him argue are against mandated vaccinations for children (due to the lack of sterilizing immunity), and he also raised alarms about the damage Moderna appeared to be causing in a specific cohort (males, under 30). Now that many EU countries (and Canada I believe) have stopped giving Moderna to under 30 males, he appears to have been correct on that front. What's really interesting is what he was banned for. Or, why so many people are ok with it.

  There's a recommendation in Ontario (Canada) against giving Moderna to males 18 - 24 "Ontario now recommending against Moderna vaccine for men 18-24 years old" https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-now-recommending-against-moderna-vaccine-for-men-18-24-years-old https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-now-recommend... > This comes after public health officials determined there is a 1 in 5,000 risk of myocarditis — a form of heart inflammation — following a second dose of the Moderna vaccine.
