Robert Malone on vaccines: what the evidence says · JRE #2454
SUBJECT: VACCINES
The short answer
Malone claims a research group has identified seven specific genes representing high-risk factors for developing myocarditis after vaccination. The most substantial published research on this topic is a May 2025 genome-wide association study in NPJ Vaccines, which compared 66 Swedish cases of vaccine-associated myocarditis, pericarditis, or perimyocarditis against 4,891 controls; it identified variants near two genes, SCAF11 and LRRC4C, plus ARID2 via linkage disequilibrium, not seven, and its authors stressed the small cohort size means the findings require validation in larger, independent populations before they can be considered confirmed risk markers.

These guys have gone through and they've identified seven genes that represent high risk factors for myocarditis after vaccination.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Malone described an unnamed research group, defunded mid-study under the Biden administration and continuing on volunteer effort, as having identified seven genes representing high-risk factors for myocarditis after vaccination. The most substantial published research on this topic is a May 2025 genome-wide association study in NPJ Vaccines, which compared 66 Swedish cases of vaccine-associated myocarditis, pericarditis, or perimyocarditis against 4,891 controls; it identified variants near two genes, SCAF11 and LRRC4C, plus ARID2 via linkage disequilibrium, not seven, and its authors stressed the small cohort size means the findings require validation in larger, independent populations before they can be considered confirmed risk markers. A separate January 2026 review of the clinical, molecular, and genetic basis of post-COVID-19 myocarditis likewise found that direct evidence defining genetic determinants of vaccine-associated cases remains limited, pointing instead to HLA loci such as HLA-A*03:01 and innate-immunity genes rather than a defined set of seven genes. No published, peer-reviewed study identifies exactly seven genes as confirmed high-risk markers for post-vaccination myocarditis, so Malone's specific figure could not be independently verified as of this recording and appears to reference preliminary or unpublished work.
