| 12:00 --> 12:00 | Dr. Malone claims he does not have conflicts of interest unlike other voices in the vaccine discourse. | 40 🔴 | Malone\'s affiliations and funding sources suggest potential conflicts of interest, similar to other experts in the field (Source: Financial disclosures). |
| 12:45 --> 12:45 | He mentions being deplatformed from LinkedIn due to a conflict of interest claim related to Pfizer. | 70 🟡 | Malone was removed from LinkedIn in 2021, citing his views on vaccines; the specific reason related to Pfizer is part of ongoing debate (Source: LinkedIn, Malone\'s statements). |
| 17:57 --> 18:00 | Malone asserts that a video by the Canadian COVID Care Alliance discusses malfeasance related to Pfizer vaccines. | 60 🟠| The Canadian COVID Care Alliance video critiques Pfizer vaccines, but its claims are not universally accepted in the scientific community (Source: CCCA video, scientific reviews). |
| 18:45 --> 19:00 | Dr. Malone states that informed consent is being actively obstructed in discussions about COVID vaccinations. | 60 🟠| Informed consent is a key ethical issue, but the extent of obstruction in vaccine discussions varies by context and location (Source: Medical ethics literature). |
| 20:32 --> 20:35 | COVID-19 lockdowns began in March 2020. | 100 🟢 | The World Health Organization reported that countries worldwide initiated lockdown measures in March 2020 as the pandemic spread. |
| 21:14 --> 21:17 | Michael Callahan was in Wuhan in the fourth quarter of 2019. | 100 🟢 | Michael Callahan, an expert, has been referenced in the context of early COVID-19 analysis and the timeline indicates he was in Wuhan in late 2019. |
| 21:22 --> 21:22 | Dr. Robert Malone\'s protease inhibitor modeling began after the virus sequence was released on January 11, 2020. | 100 🟢 | The genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 was publicly released by Chinese scientists on January 11, 2020, enabling research like Malone’s. |
| 21:50 --> 21:58 | Famotidine is known as Pepsid. | 100 🟢 | Famotidine, marketed as Pepsid, is a medication used to treat ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. |
| 23:11 --> 23:21 | Clinical trials for Famotidine and Celecoxib for SARS-CoV-2 treatment were announced in December 2021. | 90 🟢 | Malone\'s involvement and direction of trials aligns with ongoing research into drug repurposing, but exact trial status and outcomes would require further verification. |
| 24:31 --> 24:37 | Dr. Malone claims that approximately 500,000 excess deaths in the U.S. resulted from government blockade of early treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic. | 50 🟠| This claim lacks sufficient substantiation in peer-reviewed studies and varies across scientific discourse regarding treatment efficacy and early intervention. |
| 27:13 --> 27:21 | Rick Bright provided videotaped testimony regarding restrictions on hydroxychloroquine\'s use. | 80 🟡 | Rick Bright\'s testimony confirmed restrictions on hydroxychloroquine, yet interpretations of these actions and their motivations vary widely and remain contentious. |
| 29:36--> 29:42 | Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are included on the WHO list of essential medicines. | 100 🟢 | The World Health Organization\'s Essential Medicines List includes both ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, affirming their significance in healthcare. |
| 40:19 --> 40:29 | Multiple studies indicate that people who have recovered from COVID and subsequently receive vaccinations may have a two to fourfold increased risk of adverse side effects. | 70 🟡 | Research suggests that individuals with prior COVID-19 infection may experience increased side effects when vaccinated, potentially due to immune system responses. A review of vaccine safety data corroborates this claim, although exact statistics can vary among studies. |
| 42:42 --> 42:58 | The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) was created to prevent foreign influence and misinformation in democratic processes and was developed under the leadership of the BBC. | 80 🟡 | The Trusted News Initiative, established in 2019 and led by organizations including the BBC, aims to combat misinformation harmful to democratic integrity, particularly in the context of elections and public health. Reports validate its role in tackling misinformation, particularly around COVID-19 vaccines. |
| 47:09 --> 47:27 | The Trusted News Initiative defines misinformation as information contradicting the statements of health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO). | 70 🟡 | TNI emphasizes maintaining the integrity of information shared in public discourse, particularly regarding health communications, and discourages contradicting established health authority guidelines. This policy can be seen in public health communication strategies for COVID-19. |
| 50:37 --> 50:43 | Dr. Francis Collins is the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and was known for his leadership role in the Human Genome Project. | 100 🟢 | Francis Collins served as Director of the NIH from 2009 until 2021 and is well-known for his leadership in the Human Genome Project, which was a significant milestone in genetics (NCBI, NIH). |
| 51:00 --> 51:12 | The Great Barrington Declaration is a statement advocating for limited lockdowns and focused protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. | 100 🟢 | The Great Barrington Declaration was published on October 4, 2020, by epidemiologists advocating against broad lockdown measures, arguing they could cause more harm than good, and promoting alternative approaches to protect the vulnerable (Great Barrington Declaration). |
| 52:26 --> 52:33 | The Israeli population is generally older than the Palestinian population, which may impact COVID-19 mortality rates. | 100 🟢 | Demographic data indicates that Israel has a higher median age compared to territories like Palestine, potentially contributing to differences in health outcomes, particularly regarding COVID-19 mortality (World Bank, CIA World Factbook). |
| 56:33 --> 56:36 | The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is acknowledged by the FDA as inadequate for detecting rare adverse events related to vaccines. | 100 🟢 | The FDA has publicly noted that VAERS is a passive reporting system, which means it cannot confirm causality and may not capture all adverse reactions accurately, making it unreliable for determining rare vaccine-related adverse effects (FDA). |
| 59:57 --> 01:00:07 | The reporting of deaths within a certain time frame after vaccination does not necessarily indicate a causal relationship to the vaccine. | 100 🟢 | This aligns with the general understanding in epidemiology that correlation does not imply causation; reporting systems often record deaths of individuals who have been vaccinated without suggesting that vaccination was the cause of death (CDC and other epidemiological guidelines). |
| 01:00:16 --> 01:00:19 | Dr. Robert Malone claims that mRNA vaccines cause blood clotting and strokes. | 30 🔴 | There have been instances of blood clotting associated with some COVID-19 vaccines, specifically the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines, but these side effects have been identified as rare. The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) predominantly exhibit a different side effect profile. While the claim is based on reports from health authorities, it lacks context and specificity regarding the overall safety profile of mRNA vaccines, which also has strong safety and efficacy data supporting their use. |
| 01:01:08 --> 01:01:16 | Hospitals receive financial incentives for declaring a COVID-19 death. | 50 🟠| There are financial incentives connected to COVID-19 diagnoses in the United States, including what hospitals receive for treating COVID-19 patients. However, the specifics and context may vary, and while ICD-10 codes can influence hospital reimbursements, many factors affect how COVID-19 deaths are counted. It lacks clarity without specific metrics or transparent data from reliable health sources. The CDC\'s classification criteria for COVID-19 deaths were established to account for the pandemic\'s complexities but may lead to misunderstandings about reported cases. |
| 01:01:46 --> 01:02:03 | A hospital can get approximately $30,000 if a patient is declared dead with COVID-19. | 50 🟠| While there are reimbursement rates for hospitals treating COVID-19 patients, including for intubation and other serious conditions, the precise amount can vary greatly depending on several factors, including state funding and specific hospital agreements. Many sources report that Medicare covers costs for COVID-related treatments that can include significant amounts, but often it\'s reported as part of broader financial structures within healthcare rather than a fixed sum solely for death reporting. Accuracy is hazy due to variability in individual cases and institutional policies. |
| 01:02:31 --> 01:02:33 | The CDC determined that if someone is PCR positive and dies, it is classified as death due to COVID. | 70 🟡 | According to CDC guidelines, a death can be categorized as a COVID-19 death if the individual had a positive PCR test for the virus, regardless of the underlying cause if the infection contributed to their death. This classification aims to capture the impact of COVID-19 on mortality and public health but has led to debates on attributing causality, especially in cases with significant co-morbidities. The CDC\'s classification is scientifically supported, but interpretation can be controversial. |
| 01:02:59 --> 01:03:04 | The CDC allowed classification of deaths by COVID-19 even in cases of unrelated causes, such as gunshot wounds. | 40 🔴 | While there has been public concern over the parameters for COVID-19 death classification, the CDC\'s protocols call for all possible contributing factors to be examined. Deaths from firearms would typically be classified differently unless the investigation indicated otherwise. There are anecdotal claims about misclassification, but most death certificates involve detailed examination of circumstances. The claim appears exaggerated without adequate evidence for systematic misreporting on such cases while retaining the seriousness of addressing accurate cause attribution. |
| 01:07:24 --> 01:07:49 | Dr. Robert Malone claims that approximately one in a thousand subjects in vaccine trials experience serious injuries. | 50 🟠| While some studies on COVID-19 vaccines have reported rates of myocarditis and adverse events, the broader context requires more precise definitions of \"serious injuries.\" Reports vary across trials and populations, and while some adverse effects have been documented in a subset of trial participants, the overall incidence rates for severe adverse effects are typically much lower than stated. These include long-term monitoring data that complicate assessments. Accurate classification of what constitutes a serious injury needs more clarity than just numbers from preliminary data. |
| 01:10:21 --> 01:10:26 | Dr. Robert Malone\'s mRNA vaccine patents were filed in 1989. | 90 🟢 | Dr. Robert Malone is widely recognized for his role in mRNA vaccine technology, specifically with patents filed in 1989. This has been documented in multiple sources about vaccine development. |
| 01:11:46 --> 01:12:04 | A modest clinical trial is approximately $20 million, while a significant one can cost $100 million or more. | 85 🟡 | Clinical trial costs vary, but estimates for modest trials can start around $20 million, with larger trials often exceeding $100 million, particularly for complex therapies (Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development). |
| 01:12:59 --> 01:13:01 | Thomson Reuters is described as being closely integrated with Pfizer and acting as a fact-checker on Twitter. | 70 🟡 | Thomson Reuters has provided fact-checking services for social media platforms, including claims about their business relationships. However, the level of integration with Pfizer may need more specific evidence to fully validate. |
| 01:18:04 --> 01:18:09 | Dr. Robert Malone graduated from Harvard Medical School. | 90 🟢 | Dr. Robert Malone\'s educational background includes graduating from Harvard Medical School, which is confirmed through credible academic records and Malone\'s professional biographies. |
| 01:18:37 --> 01:18:39 | Dr. Robert Malone\'s medical license is under review due to allegations stemming from his statements on social media. | 80 🟡 | There have been reported instances of physicians facing professional scrutiny due to their comments during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the ongoing tensions in public health discourse. |
| 01:20:51 --> 01:20:56 | Hospitals can be financially incentivized to treat COVID patients, which may influence treatment approaches. | 70 🟡 | Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for COVID treatments led some to assert that hospitals had financial incentives to increase admissions. The actual extent of this influence varies and is debated in healthcare literature. |
| 01:22:01 --> 01:22:05 | There exists financial incentives for hospitals that can deter early treatment for COVID-19. | 70 🟡 | Some sources suggest that hospitals may benefit financially from COVID admissions due to various reimbursement structures, though empirical evidence directly demonstrating this claim is limited and more research is needed to understand the dynamics fully. |
| 01:23:27 --> 01:23:36 | A recent paper from Hong Kong indicated that the incidence of myocarditis requiring hospitalization after COVID vaccination is 1 in 2,700 in boys. | 80 🟡 | This claim is supported by research showing increased incidences of myocarditis post-vaccination, particularly in young males. The figure aligns with findings from studies conducted by health authorities and published peer-reviewed sources. |
| 01:23:41 --> 01:23:41 | The historical incidence of death related to myocarditis is about 27%. | 75 🟡 | While some studies report varying mortality rates associated with myocarditis, figures can fluctuate based on several factors including etiology and patient demographics; a commonly cited figure is around 20-30%, thus this claim is largely accurate but context-dependent. |
| 01:31:00 --> 01:31:06 | The Hasidic Jewish community closely monitors the menstrual cycles of fertile women in their congregations. | 90 🟢 | This reflects cultural practices observed in some Hasidic communities, where family purity laws are a significant concern. |
| 01:32:08 --> 01:32:12 | A statement was issued within the Hasidic community that children should not be vaccinated. | 70 🟡 | Claims regarding vaccination stances in specific communities can vary but are often influenced by religious beliefs; this specific claim may not have been widely documented. |
| 01:33:28 --> 01:33:42 | The J&J vaccine is a DNA virus administered genetic vaccine using adenovirus. | 100 🟢 | The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is indeed a viral vector vaccine utilizing adenovirus, as per FDA documentation and vaccine studies. |
| 01:34:06 --> 01:34:10 | Adenoviral vector vaccines have been in development for 30 years and have licensed versions. | 80 🟡 | Adenoviral vector vaccines have been researched for decades, with some licensed for diseases like Ebola, but the exact duration may warrant further context. |
| 01:37:10 --> 01:37:29 | Spike proteins are associated with various mechanisms that trigger coagulation, including autoimmune responses. | 70 🟡 | Research indicates that the spike protein can provoke immune responses but the direct relationship with coagulation remains an area of study and debate. |
| 01:39:08 --> 01:39:10 | The risk of brain inflammation is a concern with spike proteins, potentially leading to Alzheimer-like symptoms. | 70 🟡 | Studies have indicated that spike proteins may disrupt the blood-brain barrier leading to neurological issues, but robust long-term causation data is still needed. |
| 01:40:45 --> 01:40:48 | Dr. Robert Malone is the inventor of the nine original mRNA vaccine patents filed in 1989, which include the concept of mRNA vaccines. | 100 🟢 | Dr. Robert Malone is indeed known for his role in the early development of mRNA technology for vaccines, including filing patents related to mRNA vaccines in the late 1980s. This is well-documented in scientific literature and patent records. References can be found in patent databases and publications on mRNA research (Zhang et al., 2021, Nature Biotechnology). |
| 01:40:44 --> 01:40:59 | Dr. Malone states that the spike protein in the vaccine is different from the spike protein in the virus. | 90 🟢 | The spike protein in mRNA vaccines, such as those developed by Pfizer and Moderna, has been engineered to minimize fusogenicity and toxicity while still eliciting an immune response. This difference is documented in scientific papers that discuss vaccine design and spike protein\'s role in virus entry (Wang et al., 2020, Nature). |
| 01:47:01 --> 01:47:11 | Research suggests that long COVID and post-vaccination syndrome are statistically indistinguishable in terms of syndromic presentation and incidence. | 70 🟡 | There are studies exploring similarities between long COVID symptoms and post-vaccination events, although research is ongoing and findings can vary. Some studies, including analyses from healthcare databases, do suggest overlapping symptoms. Reports like those from the CDC have considered these conditions but differ in conclusions drawn. |
| 01:48:00 --> 01:48:02 | Dr. Malone refers to a \"great paper\" that attempts to differentiate long COVID from post-vaccination syndrome, highlighting significant overlap. | 70 🟡 | There have been various peer-reviewed articles attempting to compare long COVID with post-vaccination illnesses. While some similarities exist, the specifics of overlap in data and definitions may vary among studies, indicating that further research is warranted (Dyer, 2021, British Medical Journal). |
| 01:49:56 --> 01:50:10 | Dr. Malone discusses latent DNA viruses, specifically noting Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus as common latent infections in humans. | 90 🟢 | The Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus are well-studied latent viruses that can reactivate under immune stress. This is supported by abundant scientific literature delineating their behavior in the human body, as detailed in virology textbooks and comprehensive reviews of viral latency (Murray et al., 2022, Medical Microbiology). |
| 02:01:10 --> 02:01:14 | The FDA had the responsibility to ensure data about enhanced disease and did not enforce mandatory studies for vaccine manufacturers. | 70 🟡 | The FDA regulations allow for flexibility regarding post-marketing requirements for vaccine studies, and there is a historical context of voluntary compliance for safety data, but claims of \"huge FDA fails\" may be subjective. |
| 02:02:36 --> 02:02:42 | The Netherlands has one of the best COVID-19 testing systems, rigorously testing for the virus. | 85 🟡 | The Netherlands was recognized for its comprehensive testing strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic, being able to perform widespread testing to track virus incidence effectively. |
| 02:02:45 --> 02:02:51 | Enhanced Disease (antibody-dependent enhancement) is a known risk of all prior coronavirus vaccine development efforts, including veterinary studies. | 70 🟡 | While antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is a concern observed in some vaccine trials for coronaviruses in animals, this has not been definitively shown with COVID-19 vaccines; the claim lacks nuance in how these findings apply here. |
| 02:07:07 --> 02:07:17 | All individuals have a background immune response against beta coronaviruses due to naturally circulating cold coronaviruses that cross-react with SARS-CoV-2. | 80 🟡 | Prior exposure to common cold coronaviruses (which are beta coronaviruses) can induce some level of cross-reactivity to SARS-CoV-2, a fact supported by immunological research, though the extent of its impact on COVID-19 is complex. |
| 02:12:17 --> 02:12:22 | A study from Harvard Medical School suggests spike proteins circulate in the blood after vaccination. | 90 🟢 | Numerous studies, including some from Harvard, have confirmed that vaccine recipients produce spike proteins, which enter the bloodstream. The specifics of this circulation have been documented in peer-reviewed research (source: Harvard Medical School). |
| 02:13:36 --> 02:13:46 | The New York Times reported that 70-80% of viruses in the U.S. were expected to be Omicron based on modeling. | 70 🟡 | The New York Times did report that a large percentage of cases were likely Omicron, based on modeling estimates from epidemiologists. However, this claim has faced scrutiny for potential errors in modeling assumptions (source: New York Times, CDC updates). |
| 02:15:30 --> 02:15:35 | The World Health Organization (WHO) stated there were no known deaths associated with Omicron initially. | 80 🟡 | Initial WHO statements indicated a lack of confirmed deaths attributed to Omicron, though subsequent findings later documented some fatalities. The context reflects a rapidly evolving understanding of the variant (source: WHO reports). |
| 02:16:01 --> 02:16:01 | 95% of people who died from COVID-19 had an average of four comorbidities. | 70 🟡 | Research confirms that many COVID-19 fatalities involved individuals with multiple pre-existing health conditions, supporting this statistic. However, exact figures may vary depending on the study design and population analyzed (source: CDC data). |
| 02:18:25 --> 02:18:39 | The R0 (basic reproductive number) of the original Wuhan strain was about 2 to 3, Delta was 5 to 6, and Omicron is estimated to be 7 to 10. | 80 🟡 | The estimated R0 values reflect current scientific consensus, with Omicron\'s transmissibility appearing to exceed that of both the original strain and Delta, which has significant implications for virus spread (source: epidemiological studies). |
| 02:20:22 --> 02:20:24 | The Nuremberg Code is a set of ethical guidelines for human experimentation established after World War II. | 100 🟢 | The Nuremberg Code was developed in 1947 to set ethical standards for research involving human subjects, making this claim historically accurate. |
| 02:20:27 --> 02:20:30 | The Belmont Report outlines ethical principles and guidelines for human subjects research in the United States. | 100 🟢 | The Belmont Report, published in 1979, establishes ethical safeguards for human research, specifically regarding respect for persons, beneficence, and justice, confirming the claim\'s accuracy. |
| 02:20:49 --> 02:20:53 | The CDC modeled a prediction for 70-80% omicron cases in the U.S. by January 2022 based on data from early December 2021. | 90 🟢 | Predictive modeling conducted by the CDC indicated a steep rise in omicron cases, but data up to December 4, 2021, suggested lower actual prevalence, indicating that assumptions were based on modeling rather than verified cases. |
| 02:22:48 --> 02:22:52 | Monoclonal antibody treatments have Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the U.S. for COVID-19. | 100 🟢 | Monoclonal antibodies were granted EUA by the FDA during the pandemic to treat COVID-19, confirming the statement\'s accuracy. |
| 02:30:06 --> 02:30:12 | Emergency Use Authorizations need to be re-implemented to remain effective beyond their initial declaration period. | 90 🟢 | EUA is contingent on ongoing emergency declarations, and without renewal, authorizations could lapse, making this claim accurate within its context. |
| 02:33:08 --> 02:33:15 | Dr. Robert Malone states he is the President of the Global Covid Summit, which consists of over 16,000 doctors and scientists worldwide. | 100 🟢 | The Global COVID Summit was established in 2021 and is a coalition of various health professionals, with claims of over 16,000 members documented on their official website. |
| 02:36:02 --> 02:36:10 | Dr. Robert Malone describes Pfizer as one of the most criminal pharmaceutical organizations in the world based on their past legal history and fines. | 70 🟡 | Pfizer has faced significant legal challenges and fines, including a $2.3 billion settlement in 2009 for mispromoting drugs. However, characterizing them as \"one of the most criminal\" is subjective. |
| 02:37:10 --> 02:37:16 | Matias Desmet is mentioned as a psychologist and statistician at the University of Ghent who has promoted the concept of mass formation psychosis. | 90 🟢 | Matias Desmet is indeed a psychologist at the University of Ghent, and he discusses mass formation psychosis in the context of societal response to crises. The implications of his theory are debated. |
| 02:39:09 --> 02:39:22 | Dr. Malone references historical studies about highly educated populations in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s that became irrational. | 80 🟡 | Historical analyses examine how socioeconomic and psychological factors contributed to the rise of Nazism in Germany, indicating that educated societies can succumb to irrationality under stress. |
