US EditionClaims at Reform conference that vaccines gave royals cancer 'extremism', says Streeting
Dr Assem Malhotra alleged Covid-19 vaccines contributed to cancer in the royal family and criticized global health bodies at a UK conference, despite lack of supporting large-scale studies.
- On Saturday in Birmingham, Dr Assem Malhotra, an adviser to Robert F Kennedy Jr, said Covid vaccines `may be a risk factor for cancer` and claimed they were `highly likely` a significant factor in cancers of King Charles and Kate Middleton diagnosed last year.
- He attacked the pharmaceutical industry, alleging it has 'probably killed millions of people' while accusing the World Health Organisation of being captured by Bill Gates and urging the UK to leave the WHO at a fringe event on Saturday.
- Medical panels and research note Blood Cancer UK's healthcare professional advisory panel and Professor Brian Ferguson, University of Cambridge, say no controlled, large-scale studies show increased cancer risk after Covid-19 vaccination and reject claims vaccines disrupt tumour suppressors.
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting responded that the Reform UK party's platforming of Dr Malhotra promotes "poisonous lies" and urged Nigel Farage to sever ties with this "dangerous extremism."
- Malhotra's remarks fit a wider pattern in which Robert F Kennedy Jr's circle stirs controversy, with Reform UK citing free speech but not endorsing Malhotra's debunked vaccine claims.
