"Comments by a controversial doctor who used a speech at Reform UK's conference to link Covid vaccines to cancer in the royal family are being examined by the General Medical Council (GMC) amid mounting condemnation of him by senior medics. The regulator, which is charged with upholding professional standards in UK medicine, is also progressing with an investigation into Aseem Malhotra, currently an adviser to Donald Trump's health secretary, Robert F Kennedy, over a previous claim."
"It comes amid warnings by medical bodies that his pseudo-science remarks could undermine trust in doctors. Keir Starmer used prime minister's questions on Wednesday to hit out at Reform UK and Malhotra, saying: The man who wrote Reform's health policy has made shocking and baseless claims that vaccines are linked to cancer and that has been endorsed by Reform. These dangerous conspiracies cost lives and it shows that Reform can't be trusted with our NHS."
"After being given a prime speaking slot at Reform UK's conference, Malhotra set out what he said were findings showing that vaccines created havoc in the human body. He added that a doctor whom he described as one of Britain's most eminent oncologists had asked him to share something, adding: 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."
The General Medical Council is examining a doctor who claimed at a Reform UK conference that Covid vaccines were linked to cancer in members of the royal family. The regulator is also progressing an investigation into Aseem Malhotra over a previous claim and may consider restricting his ability to practise in the UK to protect the public. Medical bodies warned that his pseudo-scientific remarks could undermine trust in doctors. Keir Starmer condemned the claims and criticised Reform UK for endorsing policy written by the doctor. Malhotra, a practising British cardiologist, said he supports traditional vaccines and disputed Starmer's statements.
