Respectfully, Dr. Malone's entire platform is contrarianism. He is opportunistically acting on his own behalf in my belief. Recently, he published an article highlighting a noted increase in insurance claims (death and disability) in Indiana. He then intentionally implied a link and placed blame on the vaccine. However, he took no care whatsoever to do any thoughtful analysis of the data before presenting the conclusions he did. He did not even attempt to perform a comparative analysis between Indiana and other states based on vaccination rates. This is low-hanging-fruit simplicity that could have either disproven his claim or supported it - if he cared to. He did not. This is not the type of information I expect to see come from someone supposedly claiming to be on the right side of science here. And yet it remains heavily influential, reaching millions of people via Twitter, Joe Rogan, and other mediums, reducing critical analysis to trivial opinion masking as expertise. |

Since you brought it up, let's discuss it, what's your hypothesis on the cause of this death uptick?
Please put us "on the right side of science", which apparently Dr. Malone is on the wrong side of due to his hypothesis, not his contributions.
But to test these hypotheses, we would require investigation into the deaths, which maybe Dr. Malone was just trying to get people to look at.
