Robert W. Malone _claims_ to be the inventor of mRNA vaccines and on his web site there's a long explanation of how he had the patents first and so on (https://www.rwmalonemd.com/mrna-vaccine-inventor) but I can't find ANY reference to him being the inventor of mRNA vaccines other than pages and bios that he has written himself. So I'll take it with a pinch of salt thanks.


Something odd here; he's investing a lot of effort into denying Kariko's role in mRNA and he looks like a very determined self promoter.


Interestingly, came across this article where, in the comments, Robert and a partner provide evidence for their role in mRNA vaccines [1].

Isn’t Katalin Karikó the inventor of mRNA vaccines?


Something's not adding up here


Seems pretty clear after some legwork. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_vaccine Robert Malone was first to the scene developing RNA vaccines, Katalin Karikó "attempted to solve some of the main technical barriers to introducing mRNA into cells" and "solved one of the key technical barriers by using modified nucleosides to get mRNA inside cells without setting off the body's defense system." Because the powers that be ie Media, Academia favor and cover Katalin she may be nominated for the Nobel even. Malone to date goes unacknowledged in most cases just like we've seen so often in so many discoveries. Katalin herself supposedly agreed that she made improvements on the works of others but news stories rarely if ever reveal the "others". Perhaps sooner rather than later, credit and acknowledgements will come.


In a interview (few years back), Linus mentioned that he read many books related to Genes and medical science related to that! He supposed to be expert in that domain too!
