I took exactly the same action. But as we've learned, Alex never apologizes or admits he was wrong. I was also an early fan of the Breggins. Their book was the first in my "COVID Library." However, I said good-bye to their newsletter as well when they set their sites on Drs. Malone and Desmet. Both situations bothered me a great deal.

I know integrity and Malone has it. But, lacking for time, I've never studied the dispute he had with the Breggins. Can you give a brief summary of why the Breggins were so wrong and why Malone felt it appropriate to sue them for $25 million?
Honestly, my response was purely emotion-driven. Back in those days, I was hoovering up every bit of information I could find from "dissident" doctors and scientists, and Drs. Breggin and Malone were among the earliest, as I recall. I was in quite a state at the time, recoiling from all the "mitigation" measures, all the sheeple in my midst, and searching non-stop for the right products to treat the virus if necessary, and where to find them. I don't recall with any precision what Breggin's beef was ... I simply could not BELIEVE he went after Malone and Desmet ... as far as I was concerned, we were all on the same side and it was like a knife through the heart in that moment. I was quite angry at Breggin. As for the lawsuit, I have even fewer details, but I would suppose that when someone of Breggin's stature takes aim at you, you should take it more seriously than say, a Stew Peters. So Dr. Malone's response didn't seem all that surprising to me.
I have copied and pasted to Word documents, among tens of thousands of page, some of the discussions of the dispute. They were so long they were among the few things I've kept that I did not really even skim. I'll have to go back and read it, unless someone else can pipe in with a nice synopsis. Right now, I only know I would trust Dr. Malone with my life.
Integrity.
The Breggins, however, surprise me. Long-time libertarians, but I never followed them. Off the deep end would be my hypothesis.
My very (very) general sense of the issue was that Breggin objected to Desmet's mass formation thesis, because it laid the blame for the fear response at the feet of the citizenry, instead of blaming the "global predators," as Breggin calls them. I somehow think Dr. Malone's real or imagined "promotion" of Desmet's thesis was Breggin's problem with him (Dr. M) ... but I could be way off base.
And I blame the predators and government schools for having utterly failed in teaching the citizenry critical thinking skills.
I've a hunch Dr. Malone would agree.
OTOH, mass formation is simply the madness of crowds, which has occurred now and then for millennia. And that is in part due to underlying innate personality type: iNtuitives, especially the Thinkers, are much more likely to question; Sensors, much more likely to follow the "experts."
But the fear. The propaganda was extraordinarily well conceived. Horrifyingly so. That's on both perps and victims, but even I might have succumbed had I not been reading Karl Denninger's Market-Ticker who educated me and many others about Antibody Dependent Enhancement and the fact no vaccine had ever been approved without at least five years of animal trials. And I didn't really question the other vaccines until, probably, early 2022. As critical a thinker I am, I thought Andy Wakefield was a nutcase. Now, a hero.
