Steve Kirsch is a US millionaire, serial entrepreneur and from 2020, a COVID-19/Dissident. He writes regular columns on Substack.

Background

Kirsch received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1980.[1]

Business

Kirsch started several companies, including Mouse Systems, Frame Technology Corp., Infoseek and OneID. He was one of two people who coincidentally invented the optical mouse. In 2007, his personal fortune was estimated at $230 million, the majority earned from the IPO of Infoseek and the acquisition of Frame Technology.[2]

Leading up to the COVID-19 era, Kirsch was working on developing central bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure services through M10, where he served as co-founder and CEO.[3][4][5]

Activities

Kirsch and his wife Michele donated to the Sierra Club Foundation in 2006 through their Steven and Michele Kirsch Foundation.[6] The couple is listed on the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's 2012 honor roll of donors.[7]

COVID-19

Early on in the COVID-19 event, Kirsch founded the Covid-19 Early Treatment Fund (CETF) in order to fund research into repurposed drugs to treat the illness. Donors to the CETF include David Baszucki (CEO of Roblox), Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce), Vint Cerf, Elon Musk (through the Musk Foundation), the Skoll Foundation and Vanguard.[8]

At some point in 2020, Kirsch reached out to Robert Malone for help applying for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).[9]

Kirsch appeared with Robert Malone on Bret Weinstein's Dark Horse podcast, discussing COVID-19 and mRNA vaccines.[10]

He appeared featured as a guest on the Alex Jones show on InfoWars on December 29, 2021 where he discussed Robert Malone's removal from Twitter and upcoming appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, as well as several of his Substack articles.[11]

2024 Presidential Election

Kirsch started discussing his intentions to create a Super PAC to "draft" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run for President as early as January 2023, announcing as much on a January 23 livestream of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF) alongside Robert Malone.[12] He followed this up with a February 13 article on his Substack titled "I'm forming a Super PAC to Draft RFK Jr. to run for President", requesting volunteers.[13]

Censorship

Kirsch was summarily removed from Twitter in November 2021 after posting an article about prions and COVID-19 jabs written by Dr. Jessica Rose.[14] He was reinstated following Elon Musk's takeover of the platform.
