In the Guardian yesterday:
A controversial doctor given top billing at the Reform party conference has used his main-stage speech to air a claim the Covid vaccine caused cancer in the royal family. The speech by Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who was appointed as a senior adviser to the US health secretary and vaccine sceptic Robert F Kennedy, drew sharp intakes of breath in the Birmingham auditorium where he was handed a prime speaking slot.
After setting out what he said were findings showing that vaccines “created havoc” in the human body, Malhotra said he had been asked to share something by a doctor who he described as one of Britain’s most eminent oncologists. “He thinks it’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a factor, a significant factor in the cancer of members of the royal family,” said Malhotra, who had previously said: “This isn’t just his opinion many other doctors feel the same way.”
When I saw Dr Malhotra in the Guardian article, I immediately recognised him as someone who had prompted constituents to write, several times, to an MP I worked for, in the last few years, until July 2024. Their letters were often angry and emotional and they all knew people who had, they insisted, suffered from the Covid vaccines. I wrote back, often to no effect, along these lines:
Dear
Thank you for writing to me regarding Dr Aseem Malhotra’s reports on C19 Vaccines and his recommendations for further vaccination programs, published very recently in the Journal of Insulin Resistance.
While this journal is peer-reviewed, it is somewhat narrowly-focused and does not seem to feature at all in the Top 100 High Impact journal listing for medicine-related research, unlike say, the Lancet which is at 5. The debate on vaccines in the UK, read widely and influential in decision-making circles, has unfolded largely in the Lancet and in the British Medical Journal yet Dr Malhotra’s ideas have not featured in either.
Research published in the Lancet, in June 2022, suggests that the vaccines saved tens of millions of lives globally. You can read the report in full at: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(22)00320-6/fulltext
That there had not been the level of such consent or scrutiny, we might all have wished to see, is an unavoidable consequence of the sudden emergence of a deadly and contagious viral pandemic, the subsequent crisis in health care and the responsibility of governments to act quickly, taking the advice of medical experts, to save as many lives as can be saved.
Even after a more prolonged and careful process, with greater informed consent and more thorough scrutiny, new vaccines can prove harmful, regrettably, to a small number.
Had the UK and Scottish governments delayed further the roll-out of the vaccines, many more would have died, especially in care homes, and the public would have been justified in asking why.
I think my assessment of the credibility of his research finding, based on decades of work with research journals, stands. He should not be allowed to influence NHS decision-making in any way.

“A controversial doctor given top billing at the Reform party conference has used his main-stage speech to air a claim the Covid vaccine caused cancer in the royal family“
This is exactly the kind of crap being promoted in Trump’s America.
Farage wants to mirror, as in duplicate, all of the worst crap that Trump and his crap party are implementing within America .
It is also the same crap that Farage’s other crap employer, the crap GB News, is promoting within their crap UK State via many of it’s crap presenters and crap guests.
The fact that Farage thinks he can keep getting away with platforming this kind of crap person , as in yet another crap right wing extremist from America, at his crap party conference, is then testimony to how confident he is that he will always be able to keep doing this kind of crap.
That is where the promoting of most of Farage’s crap is then elevated by most of the crap UK State media in them rewarding him by their constantly welcoming Farage into many of their crap UK State TV studios and also upon their crap UK State front pages.
In doing this then they, the crap UK State media, are seemingly appearing to embrace his crap (supposed) political message as they are promoting him as a constant and as a dominant crap presence on their various crap UK State TV News programmes, their various UK State crap Debate programmes and also their various UK State crap political programmes and then of course also on the crap front pages of many of their UK State’s crap newspapers .
Indeed collectively the crap Tory party, the crap Labour party and the crap UK State media have all platformed Farage’s crap and then also , politically, both the Tories and the Labour party as crap UK State governments have also tried to duplicate , as in mirror, much of the same crap that Trump is now doing in America and also that Farage wants to copy, as a crap template ,for his crap UK State in the future….
While of course as the crap UK State media continue to give credence to Farage’s crap just as they gave credence to much of the Tories crap when they governed and now are also doing the same with much of Labour’s same crap as the current crap UK state government in their crap UK State……then all other genuine non crap political parties are either ignored or demonised (and so to be seen as enemies of the crap UK State)……
Indeed as crap UK State politicians (and governments)and as a combined crap UK State media , they all want everyone to think that the only political crap within their crap UK State is the one they say is on offer via the SNP, both as a political party and as the Scottish government. (which Douglas Alexander , as (yet gain) the latest and so yet as another crap Scottish UK State Secretary against Scotland , will try to reinforce as a crap UK State message in the lead up to the Scottish elections next year, aided by and so promoted by the crap UK State broadcaster, that is the crap BBC Scotland’s various news teams).
That’s because collectively , crap UK State politicians and their crap UK State media, see it as their combined crap job to always seek to protect, defend and so uphold the crap UK State first and foremost…..which then also results in them having to also promote crap pretend politicians like Farage and his crap pretend (latest) protest party, badly disguised as political party , as in the crap Reform UK party.
If you think that I have overused the word crap in my comment then that is because I currently have been feeling ill , so then I myself have been feeling crap , which then makes it very easy to identify all of the other crap things that have been happening and still are happening both within and because of this crap UK State , so they are very easy to define as all being totally crap, especially for Scotland , that as a nation within this crap UK State , is being denied a new and justified opportunity to escape all of this UK State crap.
BTW not only did Reform UK host a crap American ‘doctor’ in its conference it also had an extremely crap, bizarre and very much attention seeking performance via a Tory defector in a blue sequinned jumpsuit, ‘singing’ a self penned crap ‘song’ called ‘insomnia’ , as in Andrea Jenkyns, who was known to have previously, as a crap Tory, sometimes give a crap non response, in her using ‘the finger’, as a way of her formerly giving a crap non response to what were legitimate accusations.
Well , The Telegraph , also seen as a crap Tory newspaper actually had a great description on Andrea Jenkyns crap ‘performance’ on stage…..in that is was like the “Tory Ex Factor”…..
That was quite clever ………..and with her performance she would never have advanced any further in the actual ‘X’ factor (which she lacks as a quality)….however she is yet another crap Tory who saw the writing on the wall for her former crap party and so she , like all of those other crap Tories, jumped ship onto an even more crap party as in the crap Reform UK party …….basically Reform UK are now the new Tory party just as Labour UK are also now the new Tory party….confused ?
Well that is all part of their crap UK State plan. via all of the crap UK State political parties and too their crap UK State media.
Scotland also needs a plan too , as in how to achieve it’s independence or alternatively just keep suffering all of this UK State crap forever….that is , in all of our current lifetimes ….
As perhaps the young may have far more courage and far more confidence in Scotland than some others currently do , as in those others within Scotland who do not seemingly have any confidence in respect to Scotland’s ability to thrive outwith this crap UK State.
So then some of those others within Scotland just keep choosing to endure , as a constant, all of the crap the crap UK State offers them as a people…….though we , Scotland, are offered nothing as a nation by their crap UK State or within their crap UK State , but instead they withhold things from us and then tell us what they will “allow” us to have and to not have. (as in refuse us another legitimate and justified independence Referendum in what is clearly us, as a nation, suffering within their crap UK State that is not a Union….in any form…. or indeed is it in any way a equal supposed ‘Union’ within their crap UK State).
Clearly Scotland has never been and will never be in any way “Better Together” within their crap UK State…..where we may eventually actually find ourselves governed by an even more crap totalitarian English Nationalist crap English (UK) government, that is Reform UK , with yet another even more crap English Nationalist PM , as in one Nigel Farage.
We need to stop all of this UK State crap.…….perhaps the first step would be with more people within Scotland realising just how crap the UK State is now , as a State , that currently Scotland is very much confined (trapped) within……which is potentially about to get far far far more worse…..as a English dominated Reform UK crap governed State.
BTW if some people reading my comment are offended in my using the word “crap” as a description (too many times in this comment) for both some of the people and some of things things that I have linked to the crap UK State….then please consider that the definition of the word crap that I am applying above, is in the context of it meaning “something of extremely poor quality” .
Which , based on huge evidence, is then surely most apt for those things and those people that I have written about above (in all that they do , all they say and all that they write as both crap UK State politicians and also as a crap UK State media).
