He was the one that was saying it for a long time, or at least not discouraging others from saying it.
I think he’s backed off from that recently since he’s gotten more attention.
Malone made an important contribution early on. So did a lot of others without whom mRNA would not have advanced. And of course Malone’s early paper includes two co-authors, whom he somehow fails to ever mention.
He threatens the bottom line. I get it. We all have to fill our rice bowls.
Losing.
