I subscribe to both and will continue to follow both. This is what a healthy search for the truth looks like. Different opinions, presenting their case, as no sole person is the arbitor of truth. This is sorely lacking in mainstream media, healthy debate of different facts and opinions on what they mean.

I grew up in a large family and this was the norm growing up around the dinner table. We should all be allowed to agree to disagree.

I know that Robert Malone would agree with “agree to disagree” and “healthy debate.” What Berenson did was neither.

Agreed, but it doesn't change a large body of Alex's work that has been good.

True. But the issue is how we assess his work from now on. He is tainted.

The legacy media now is using this to discredit Dr. Malone and Alex is proud of it. Probably to get back in their graces.

who said what? what venues?

Daily Mail. I think Alex wants to be acknowledged again by "legitimate" media.

Time will tell. I’m not a fan of Alex’s approach here, and am poised to cancel my subscription pending the unfolding of this debate. Following a person who uses cancel/attack mechanisms and is disrespecting and dishonorable goes against my grain, whether he’s a “good reporter” or not. Integrity is as integrity does.

With all due respect, that was not a search for truth. It was a tacky, baseless, inappropriate attack.

I can agree to disagree as long as millions of people aren’t being injured, disabled, or killed by the disagreement. AB did some good work but we cannot afford to lose a scintilla of the momentum that allowed Malone’s voice to finally be heard.

Agree as I am sure Malone also does - however there's more than ample reason why Malone titled his response they way he did. He bushwhacked him without a modicum of respect. that is not the way you debate anyone.

I may continue to follow both, but that was FAR from a "healthy discussion." He just attacked the guy personally for a slight exaggeration. Alex is not a scientist and knows far less about this than Dr. Malone. Nor is he a practicing MD with clinical observations. If he'd simply said he disagreed with him on a few things (like he did with RFK who endorsed his book) it would have been fine. But he was a total jerk.

I also and my dad would have smacked me for being disrespectful at the inappropriate time. You can't teach common sense.

Yes, that is wise.
