== Semi-protected edit request on 13 April 2024 == |
|||
What I am wondering is the following: |
|||
⚫ | |||
Since Wikipedia is inevitably in the position of arbitrating what is true or not true, and since Wikipedia is apparently declaring (in our inevitable position as arbiters of truth, to some extent — by the very nature of being an encyclopedia) that Mr. Malone has perpetuated untruths or "misinformation", would it not make sense for us to establish specifically, right at the moment that we declare "misinformation", exactly what the misinformation, and exactly what the truth, really is? |
|||
“ Malone promoted misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.” Is an opinion. Peoples political opinion should not be stated as fact. By making this an uneditable part of the page it shows Wikipedia bias opinion [[User:Nballstar|Nballstar]] ([[User talk:Nballstar|talk]]) 12:30, 13 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||

|||
In other words, as a neutral skeptic, I would like to see specifics. I would like to read that Mr. Malone was the perpetrator of the misinformation THAT… (such and such happened). But the truth is that… (such and such didn't happen) — and then of course followed by sources. |
|||
The article states that credit for early mRNA research has been given to other researchers, however, who gave this credit is not stated and the sources refer to a few authors writing post-2019. Considering that mRNA research began in the 1980's, this would not substantiate a position that Malone has not been given credit. It only substantiates that after 2019 a few authors focused giving credit to other researchers. [[Special:Contributions/71.57.156.115|71.57.156.115]] ([[User talk:71.57.156.115|talk]]) 22:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
Instead what I see is us Wikipedians repeating the purported fact that he "misinformed", without even us being able to gist in a few simple words WHAT he misinformed about, and what the truth is (which should be easy to specify if he is in fact demonstrably wrong according to our standards). |
|||
== False == |
|||
"He said that blah blah blah is the truth (here's my source that he said so). But we here on Wikipedia must state that in fact blah blah blah is the truth (at least one good source)." |
|||
Why does so many false and outdated claims persist in this article ? Who is doing it !? It seems as someone is protecting a “narrative”. [[Special:Contributions/2A02:AA7:4103:E804:34E8:D7BB:CC64:27A1|2A02:AA7:4103:E804:34E8:D7BB:CC64:27A1]] ([[User talk:2A02:AA7:4103:E804:34E8:D7BB:CC64:27A1|talk]]) 20:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
For example: Let's say that I begin to misinform the public that 5+5 is actually 11. It is affirmed by mathematicians with their proofs that 5+5 is actually 10, and so Wikipedia informs us that ''by telling the people that 5+5 was 11'', I was "misinforming" them, because ''5+5 is actually 10'' (source, source, source). |
|||
:If there is a specific claim, please point it out. Everything is supported by reliable sources, so any changes would need reliable sources supporting them as well.

|||
Does this make any sense? That perhaps here we should be putting ourselves in a position of declaring that something is false only if we can say exactly WHAT is false (and what is false about it), and then what the "truth" is (at least as far as we can tell according to the consensus measurements we prioritize).

Robert Malone did not spread misinformation regarding the MRNA vaccination. Until you can site multiple credible sources this is extremely incorrect information.

The claim that the spike protein from the vaccine isn't toxic is wrong! The spike toxicity from the vaccine is one of the biggest issues causing long-term vaccine injury and autoimmunity. This statement is backed up by following review paper [https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/8/2287]https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/8/2287 |

There might be not everything wrong about the critical statements from an experienced medical doctor who has concerns about a new medication.

:We have sources directly calling Malone's statements misinformation. Any sources replying to that must be directly on-point - they must address Malone specifically.

::::The material in the "five sources" is seriously libelous and I'm surprised that you're either unaware or indifferent. Or both. Source (5), for example, by ''France 24'' does NOT say "''Malone promoted misinformation''", and it's deceptive for someone to say that it does.

:::::The France24 source talks about a bad paper which contained misinformation and was retracted, and says that Malone tweeted about that paper, which means that he spread the misinformation. But that connection is a bit shaky - he did not know that it would be retracted later, and he later deleted the tweet - so, yes, it should probably be removed as source for the statement. --[[User:Hob Gadling|Hob Gadling]] ([[User talk:Hob Gadling|talk]]) 09:46, 22 December 2023 (UTC) |

This article is not factual, it is yet another character assassination
It is quite clear that Wikipedia entries on Covid-19 related subjects have been hijacked by corrupt and very single-minded entities, who are determined to assassinate the characters of anyone who threatens their profits from what appear to be useless and contaminated experimental medical products. If that is what Wikipedia stands for these days, then the Wikipedia project itself is dead.Excalibur (talk) 21:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
