Robert Malone: From Dogma to Innovation. An interview. Host: Maarten Fornerod (04/23/25)
Dr. Malone recently traveled to Brussels (European Union Headquarters) for the second "Make Europe Great Again" conference. Journalist Maarten Fornerod hosted a delightful discussion with Dr. Malone and his wife Dr. Jill Malone over lunch at their hotel.
We especially appreciated the following in this short interview:
Nobel Prize is politicized (especially the recent prize to Karikó and Weissman for their work on mRNA technology
Nobel Prize winners tend to be competitive with one another (junior high schoolers would be proud)
How Dr. Malone experienced COVID-19 personally (almost died!)
How Dr. Malone protects himself, as an academic, from being caught within a dogma (devise multiple working hypotheses, do not be wedded to any one, and experiment with an open mind). Summarized quote below…
How do you protect yourself, as an academic, from being caught within a dogma?
“People have a tendency to become invested personally in a hypothesis…At the center of my thinking is the Method of Multiple Working Hypotheses, published by T.C. Chaimerlin in the 1960s.”
First formulate a good question based on your observations.
Generate as many possible explanations or hypotheses for answering that question. (Involve outsiders that aren't in your discipline to help generate ideas.)
Design and perform experiments to differentiate between the hypotheses.
After an iterative process, what remains is the best approximation of scientific truth.
ED NOTE: The steps above are useful for solving every problem from programming a computer to shopping efficiently.
