The doctor who sparked outrage by airing claims that Covid vaccines could be linked to the King and Princess of Wales’ cancer is in discussions to sue Wes Streeting for accusing him of pumping out ‘extremism’.

Dr Aseem Malhotra, who made the incendiary comments on the main stage of Reform’s conference in Birmingham earlier this month, said he was ‘seriously considering’ legal action.

He told the Daily Mail that he felt he was being used as a ‘political football’ because of his association with Nigel Farage’s party.

Attending as a guest speaker under the banner of ‘Make Britain Healthy Again’, Dr Malhotra used his 15-minute slot to present slides that he claimed proved the harms of Covid jabs.

Dr Malhotra, whose views have been discredited by a catalogue of medical professionals and the NHS, said hundreds of studies had highlighted the dangers of mRNA vaccines given to millions, made by Pfizer and Moderna.

He told the thousands of attendees: ‘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.’

Dr Aseem Malhotra, who made the incendiary comments on the main stage of Reform’s conference in Birmingham earlier this month, said he was ‘seriously considering’ legal action 

His comments sparked an immediate backlash, with Mr Farage urged to sever all ties with Dr Malhotra – a friend and aide to Donald Trump’s anti-vaxx health chief Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Reform distanced itself from the speaker, saying it did ‘not endorse what he said but does believe in free speech’.

Mr Streeting urged Mr Farage to apologise for Dr Malhotra’s remarks and to ‘sever all ties with this dangerous extremism’.

The Health Secretary said: ‘When we are seeing falling numbers of parents getting their children vaccinated, and a resurgence of disease we had previously eradicated, it is shockingly irresponsible for Nigel Farage to give a platform to these poisonous lies.’

In a fierce attack on Reform, Mr Streeting told LBC: ‘The fact [Farage] chose to give a platform at his conference to someone who said the Covid vaccine gave the Royal Family cancer, says you can’t trust this man with your health.

‘If that’s the sort of health advice Nigel is taking, maybe that’s why he’s the same age as Brad Pitt but looks 20 years older.’

Keir Starmer during Prime Minister’s Questions said: ‘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.’

Dr Malhotra, who describes himself as pro-NHS, denied any involvement in shaping Reform’s health views.

Labour has repeatedly claimed Reform would charge patients to use the NHS – something Mr Farage’s party has dismissed, publicly saying it should be free at the point of use.

Dr Malhotra is a friend of Tom Watson, with Labour’s ex-deputy leader crediting his book on The Pioppi Diet – which told him to add butter to his coffee – for helping him lose 7st.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Dr Malhotra said: ‘I’m in discussions regarding the false accusations and defamatory comments that Wes has made towards me.

‘I am specifically talking about safety concerns on the Covid vaccines.

‘He has described me as anti-vaxxer, which I am not, and has suggested I am responsible for an increase in whooping cough and measles.’

Admitting he was ‘considering it seriously’, he added: ‘I feel I’m being used as a political football for them to attack Reform.

‘That’s why I think this vitriolic attack has been amplified, even though I’m not a member or write the health policy.

‘I would be very open to sitting down with Wes and having a conversation and allowing him to apologise for the remarks he made because I think that is the most constructive way forward.

‘But until he does that, then obviously I will consider a defamation suit.’

Asked if he would make the comments again, Dr Malhotra added: ‘I don’t regret it, I was conveying an opinion of someone I respect greatly. I am not an oncologist.

‘I’m also very concerned about the decreased uptake of vital traditional vaccines.

‘But the evidence tells us that the reason trust has gone down is because of the mandates imposed during Covid, in addition to the fact there hasn’t been a real acknowledgement and apology for the Covid vaccine injuries.

‘I want to restore trust to the profession by being an advocate for changing evidence, in particular with the Covid vaccines – which initially I supported its use for in high-risk patients.’

During his 15-minute speech at the NEC on the final day of Reform’s conference, Dr Malhotra also said taking the Covid vaccine was more likely to cause harm than the virus itself.

He said: ‘What does that mean? It is highly likely that not a single person should have been injected with this.’

‘Nobody is immune to medical misinformation,’ he told the audience.

The link between the Covid jab and cancer has previously been dismissed by academics and oncologists after claims it had led to ‘turbo cancers’.

Cancer Research has previously said there is ‘no’ evidence to suggest that any of the pandemic-banishing vaccines cause cancer. The charity also points out that mRNA technology is being used to develop new jabs that are showing promise in actually preventing lung, ovarian and other types of cancer.

The Office for National Statistics has previously said that it does not believe tens of thousands of excess deaths in the UK in 2022-23, which were attributed to vaccine-related cancer by some commentators, were actually caused by the jab.

Cambridge University’s Professor Brian Ferguson, a viral immunologist, tore into Dr Malhotra for repeating an ‘outlandish conspiracy theory’.

He said: ‘There is no credible evidence that these vaccines disrupt tumour suppressors or drive any kind of process that results in cancer.

‘It is particularly crass to try to link this pseudoscience to the unfortunate incidents of cancer in the royal family.’

Dr Malhotra did not name any royals directly. However, both King Charles and Princess Kate have been treated for cancer in the past 18 months.

Regulators at the General Medical Council said they were examining the comments.

The British Medical Journal reported that Professor Dalgliesh, an oncologist at St George’s University of London, believes that covid vaccine boosters cause changes to cells (T cell exhaustion) that could help cancers grow.

‘Anecdotally, Dalgliesh said that he had seen patients with melanoma suddenly relapsing after receiving Covid vaccine boosters, and he claims that he was contacted by other doctors around the world who saw the same thing,’ the respected publication reported.

It comes after a highly contentious study last week backed up the claims of Covid vaccines causing cancer.

Korean researchers said they found evidence of an association between the jabs and a heightened risk of six types of cancer including lung, breast and prostate.

The risk appeared greatest for over-65s, they wrote in a journal owned by a respected scientific publisher. But they did not explain exactly why the jabs may have increased this risk.

Experts dismissed the ‘superficially alarming’ study and warned its conclusions were hugely overblown.

The Daily Mail has approached Mr Streeting’s office for comment.
