That isn’t the point. There have been many accusations about where Fauci got his wealth. Isn’t it also appropriate to inquire if Malone is financially motivated/benefiting from his anti-vaccine crusade? For example, America’s Front Line Doctors:

My point is, there have been several who’ve accused Fauci of being motivated by what profits Fauci. That’s fair, but then there are many others who should be subjected to the same investigation. BTW, I have no problem with making a living, I do like to know if someone is taking their positions based upon how it profits them. It’s even common on this board to accuse posters like myself of being paid.

My point is that the net worth you reported is not unusual for someone of Malone's stature at this point in his life.

You can question it, but the number is not unreasonable for him in the normal course of his career.

To be fair, people can be, and often are, motivated by things other than money.

Pride, revenge, ego, power. Or sincerely wanting to warn people of danger.

We've all seen these operating in the world.

It is a little suss that Malone claims only that he has no conflicting financial interest, as if that could be the only motivation, good or bad.
