He was a pioneer in the research, the fact that you can't grasp this is astounding. Anyway you cling to your nitpicking.
I am saying that he has more than earned his right to have a critical view of the vaccine, and that the spike protein might be cytotoxic. People saying otherwise are no better than Brown Shirts attempting to silence debate and force censorship on everyone who isn't falling in line with the dogma you lot just so love.
Dr Malone is a contributor in a long line of scientists, not the discoverer of mRNA, nor the inventor or even a co-inventor of the vaccine. He is today a malcontent seeking recognition not due to him. Not even Kariko claims to be the inventor:
Messenger RNA vaccine pioneer Katalin Karikó shares her long journey to Covid-19 vaccines

When asked her thoughts on possibly being considered for the Nobel prize, Karikó instead focused on the collaborative nature of science and how so many contributions to the mRNA vaccine by others may be overlooked. “Many scientists, just like me, work for years and years and nobody knew about them. And so, I have to represent all of them,” she said.
And this article shows the long line back to the late 1940's. Plus the crucial and blinding insights of one Sydney Brenner, South African-born scientist at Oxford University in 1961.

Essay
Who discovered messenger RNA?
Author MatthewCobb
Conclusion:
Textbook authors, students and Wikipedia editors generally like simple stories. A simple view of the history of mRNA would claim that Jacob and Monod named it, while Brenner, Jacob and Meselson subsequently isolated it. The complexity of what actually took place is much more in keeping with what we know about science — a series of different groups attack a problem, using slightly different techniques, seeing the problem from different angles, before eventually a breakthrough makes clear what was previously problematic. From this point of view, priority of publication is not the sole criterion for contributing to discovery.
So the answer to the question ‘who discovered mRNA?’ depends on what you mean by ‘discovered’. Many different groups have a claim, depending on which part of the mRNA story is being focussed upon:
- •
The first person to argue that DNA produces RNA which in turn leads to protein synthesis was André Boivin, in 1947.
- •
The first suggestion that small RNA molecules move from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and associate with ribosomes where they drive protein synthesis was made by Raymond Jeener, in 1950.
- •
The first reports of what we would now identify as mRNA were made by Al Hershey’s group in 1953 and by Volkin and Astrachan in 1956.
- •
The realisation that mRNA might exist, with the functions we now ascribe to it, first came about through the insight of Brenner and Crick, while Jacob and Monod named mRNA and put it in a theoretical framework.
- •
The first unambiguous description of mRNA was jointly the work of Brenner, Crick and Meselson on the one hand, and of Watson’s team on the other (although the Brenner–Crick–Meselon group got their results first).
- •
Finally, the first people to prove the function of mRNA were Nirenberg and Matthaei, although they did not frame their results in these terms.
Who discovered mRNA? It is complicated. No wonder the Nobel Prize committee did not try and reward the discovery. Naming just three (or even six) people would be invidious — mRNA was the product of years of work by a community of researchers, gathering different kinds of evidence to solve a problem that now looks obvious, but at the time was extremely difficult. But that is the nature of history — it straightens out what at the time was tangled and unclear. We have the advantage of looking backwards, knowing the answer; the participants were peering into a foggy future, trying to reconcile contradictory evidence and imagine new experiments that could resolve the problem. Their collective insights and imaginations laid the basis for today’s understanding and tomorrow’s discoveries.
