Bushwhacked by Alex Berenson on Fox News
By Robert W Malone MD, MS
Alex Berenson goes on Fox News and directly calls me a liar to my face and says I didn’t invent RNA vaccines.
Unprofessional, rude and an arsehole to boot.
But beyond that, I think we can all assume CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.
So, for Alex, who evidently doesn’t know how to do an internet search, find a patent and read it – I will make it easy for him.
First – a couple of proof of principle experiments conducted in 1989 -from the patents with the priority date of 1989 (issued later, but the ideas/experiments date to March 21, 1989 as decided by the United States Patent Office)
Early Patents priority dates from 1989
