Dr. Katalin Karikó and her collaborator, Dr. Drew Weissman, are commonly credited with laying the groundwork for mRNA vaccines, however vaccines are rarely the work of any individual, but the result of the contributions of many.
In 1989, Dr. Malone published a paper titled "Cationic liposome-mediated RNA transfection."
"In the early 1990s, he
collaborated with Jon A. Wolff, Dennis A. Carson, and others on a study that first suggested the possibility of synthesizing mRNA in a laboratory to trigger the production of a desired protein.[4] Malone claims to be the inventor of mRNA vaccines, although credit for the distinction is more often given to later advancements by Katalin Karikó or Derrick Rossi."
"He was CEO and co-founder of Atheric Pharmaceutical,[9] which in 2016 was contracted by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases to assist in the development of a treatment for the Zika virus by evaluating the efficacy of existing drugs.[10][11][12][13] Until 2020, Malone was chief medical officer at Alchem Laboratories, a Florida pharmaceutical company."
"In early 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Malone was involved in research into the heartburn medicine famotidine (Pepcid) as a potential COVID-19 treatment following anecdotal evidence suggesting that it may have been associated with higher COVID-19 survival. Malone, then with Alchem Laboratories, suspected famotidine may target an enzyme that the virus (SARS-CoV-2) uses to reproduce, and recruited a computational chemist to help design a
3D-model of the enzyme based on the viral sequence and comparisons to the 2003 SARS virus.[15][16] After encouraging preliminary results, Alchem Laboratories, in conjunction with New York's Northwell Health, initiated a clinical trial on famotidine and hydroxychloroquine.[15] Malone
resigned from Alchem shortly after the trial began and Northwell paused the trial due to a shortage of hospitalized patients."

I think everyone on the forum should by now be aware of the weaknesses of computer models when it comes to viruses. It's also rather interesting that he resigned during the trials for Pepcid AC as a possible treatment for Covid and that the trials were discontinued, regardless of the stated excuse. IOW, he's currently unemployed and spreading half truths on alternative media.
On his personal website, he credits himself as "the inventor of mRNA vaccines".
