From BBC News:
Reform UK has distanced itself from a conference speaker who suggested that Covid vaccines were linked to the King’s and the Princess of Wales’ cancers.
Aseem Malholtra, an adviser to US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, said: “One of Britain’s most eminent oncologists Professor Angus Dalgleish said to me to share with you today that he thinks it’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a significant factor in the cancers in the royal family.”
…The party said that it “does not endorse what he said but does believe in free speech”.
Malhotra has been celebrated within the conspiracy milieu since 2022 – this was when he published a review essay in which he claimed that Covid vaccination caused accelerated heart disease, based on his personal incredulity about the cause of his own father’s death several months after he had advised him to stop taking statins.
The idea that cancer and heart disease are supposedly being caused by Covid vaccination acts as spurious reassurance that prophecies of mass mortality have not failed after all, and speculation about the Princess of Wales in particular has been rife. Of course Farage and Reform would rather talk about “free speech” rather than their poor judgement in giving Malhotra a platform.
But how convincing is the supposed “distancing” from Malhotra, given that cited Dalgleish as his authority? Here is Reform deputy leader Richard Tice in February, quoting Piers Morgan:
Safe & Effective the experts told us….. Now even PIERS MORGAN: “I was with one of the top cancer experts in Britain for lunch a couple of days ago, who was utterly scathing about the long-term impact of the mRNA vaccines … and says that they’re reaping a whirlwind in the world of cancer as a result of the vaccines.“
By not providing a name, Morgan asks us to be impressed by credentials while simultaneously shielding his source from scrutiny – although it’s almost certain he was talking about Dalgleish, who has long been known to Farage from UKIP days and from more than one interview on GB News.
Dalgleish has also been promoted by Allison Pearson, who yesterday introduced Lucy Connolly to the conference.
UPDATE: Don McGowan notes that Malhotra is “Chief Health Advisor” to Action on World Health, and anti-WHO campaigning group that was launched by Nigel Farage in May last year.
