False

Why does so many false and outdated claims persist in this article ? Who is doing it !? It seems as someone is protecting a “narrative”. 2A02:AA7:4103:E804:34E8:D7BB:CC64:27A1 (talk) 20:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a specific claim, please point it out. Everything is supported by reliable sources, so any changes would need reliable sources supporting them as well. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Malone did not spread misinformation regarding the MRNA vaccination. Until you can site multiple credible sources this is extremely incorrect information. 2600:100E:B068:D3B5:64EB:3115:8AA3:C3FD (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: There are already half a dozen citations saying he did. Jamedeus (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and all fake. 192.251.109.39 (talk) 19:58, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is? Slatersteven (talk) 20:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An opinion presented as fact

In the opening paragraph several sources are quoted and their claims (now known to be false) are presented as facts: "During the COVID-19 pandemic, Malone promoted misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines." His information was in fact accurate, he is in fact one of the inventors of the mRNA vaccine technology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JanBielawski (talk • contribs) 15:55, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spot on! 194.24.8.66 (talk) 13:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The guy who invented mRNA vaccines was spreading vaccine misinformation. It's misinformation because some nobody writing for The Atlantic said so. 2600:6C5D:40F0:71E0:390B:C356:B44:5C4 (talk) 19:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Malone promoted misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines." to "Malone was accused of promoting misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines."

As no-one can perfectly arbitrate what is misinformation and what is not it's disingenuous to say definitively that he promoted misinformation as we can't know for sure what is misinformation and what is not. Doogiej7 (talk) 10:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well yes we can, as a lie is a lie, did the Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines worsen COVID-19 infections? Was the Chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation was a board member at Pfizer? Slatersteven (talk) 10:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
