Dr. Robert Malone’s defamation case against The Washington Post has been rejected by a federal judge.

The Post’s allegedly defamatory statements, including saying that Dr. Malone’s “discredited claims have bolstered a movement of misinformation” and have caused “damage,” aren’t actionable because they’re “opinions in a scientific debate,” U.S. District Judge Norman Moon said in his ruling.
