I haven't taken the time to read or watch anything he has put out but regardless if he is or isn't that wouldn't necessarily mean he doesn't know what he's trying to express in regard to the technology, especially in regards to this point:
I know of no data wherein the mean, median, range etc of total amount of spike protein produced in a patient after administration of the COVID genetic vaccine has been defined. Usually, the FDA is quite persnickety about such things, but I am not aware of this key variable having been determined. Therefore, the range and severety of adverse events potentially attributable to the level of expressed spike protein may reflect patient to patient differences in genetic transfer efficiency and subsequent spike expression
He isn't the only one who has brought this up as a concern.
It is easy to ask questions that are hard to answer, as he apparently is doing here. But the real world data isn't showing a lot of adverse events from the vaccine. And that is the heart of the issue, not whether they have measured spike production levels in different patients, but how many are suffering adverse events.
In fact, my recollection is that Malone himself is not recommending against adults taking the vaccine. He primarily argued against giving it to children, based on the idea that children had less bad effects from the virus itself, so he argued that the risk-benefit analysis wasn't worth it. That's still a flawed analysis, IMO, because he wasn't arguing with hard data, just a concern about unknowns, and he also ignored the potential benefits of reaching herd immunity thru vaccination. Not only direct health benefits to children (decreased chance to contract covid for all children including ones that are immunocompromised), but economic ones as well (better economy to live in, still living parents with jobs, etc).
If the risks of covid were less severe, such arguments could be made more reasonably, but when we look at the impacts, and the increasing danger of delta (and possibly worse variants), this isn't a complicated calculation.
There's never going to be any reaching herd immunity with covid through vaccination. The vaccines do not keep someone from getting covid. The vaccinated can also spread covid. The reason they can't mandate the vaccine is because they have to prove their is nothing else available to treat it and there has been since the beginning, study after study has proven hydroxychloroquine not only treats covid illness but also acts as a prophylactic, so does ivermectin. These are safe proven drugs, the vaccines are not, just as one example out of thousands here's a woman who just had her legs and hands amputated because her employer mandated she get a vaccine. She got the vaccine then caught covid, per one article on it:
