A contributor Dr. Robert Malone, a prominent skeptic of mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations, suggested to popular podcaster Joe Rogan—days after Malone was suspended from Twitter—during an interview that the United States is in the midst of a “mass formation psychosis.”

“Our government is out of control on this,” Malone said about vaccine mandates in the interview, which was released over the weekend. “And they are lawless. They completely disregard bioethics. They completely disregard the federal common rule. They have broken all the rules that I know of, that I’ve been trained [in] for years and years and years.”

Malone, an expert in mRNA vaccine technologies who received training at the University of California–Davis, UC–San Diego, Harvard Medical School and the Salk Institute, was banned by Twitter last week.

Malone told The Epoch Times last week that Twitter offered no explanation for why his account, which had amassed 500,000 followers, was suspended. A spokesperson for Twitter told the left-wing Daily Dot outlet that Malone’s account “was permanently suspended for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy … per the strike system outlined here, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of this policy.”

Twitter hasn’t responded to an Epoch Times’ request for comment on Malone’s suspension.

Rogan said never before has it been banned to even discuss the possibly negative side-effects of any medication.

“They are flat-out illegal,” Malone added, “and they don’t care.”

Toward the end of his interview, Malone suggested that people are in the midst of what he called “mass formation psychosis […]”

He also said he got Covid himself in the spring of 2020 and nearly died from it, and then got the mRNA vaccine (from Moderna) because he was flying a lot and needed the certification.

But he says he had a severe reaction to the second vaxx, with his blood pressure briefly soaring.

Though an inventor of mRNa vaxxes, he is still not promoting them at all, but instead therapeutics such as hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other drugs.

Why is hydroxy banned? Malone: because it costs one cent per dose.
