Nigel Farage was today urged to ‘sever all ties’ with a speaker at Reform UK’s conference who claimed Covid vaccines could be linked to the King and Princess of Wales‘s cancer.
Dr Aseem Malhotra made claims about the pharmaceutical industry, politicians and the World Health Organisation during a speech at the Birmingham event on Saturday.
The vaccine-sceptic cardiologist described himself as a friend of controversial US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has alarmed health experts in America.
Dr Malhotra said he had spoken with Professor Angus Dalgliesh, a leading oncologist, who shared that he believed the vaccines were interfering with genes.
He also claimed hundreds of studies showed the harmful effects of mRNA vaccines.
‘It may be a risk factor for cancer,’ Dr Malhotra said, adding that ‘many other doctors feel the same way’.
‘It’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a factor, a significant factor, in the cancer of members of the royal family,’ Dr Malhotra continued, quoting Professor Dalgliesh’s views.
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 Covid-19 vaccines cause cancer.

In a speech at Reform UK’s conference in Birmingham, Dr Malhotra linked Covid vaccines to the King and Princess of Wales’s cancer
Mr Farage, the Reform leader, allowed Dr Malhotra to speak from the main stage at Reform’s gathering in Birmingham
Blood Cancer UK’s healthcare professional advisory panel, which is made up of specialists from across the UK, said: ‘There are no controlled, large-scale studies (studies with the most robust scientific evidence) that demonstrate an increased cancer risk following Covid-19 vaccination.’
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.
He went on to say the World Health Organisation had been ‘captured’ by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and urged for it to be replaced.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting urged Reform leader Mr Farage to apologise for Dr Malhotra’s remarks and to ‘sever all ties with this dangerous extremism’.
The Labour Cabinet minister 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.
‘Farage should apologise and sever all ties with this dangerous extremism.’
Liberal Democrat MP Helen Morgan, the party’s health spokesperson, said: ‘It’s clear there is no lie too low or dangerous for Farage and his acolytes.
‘Let there be no doubt: Reform are a threat to our health. We cannot let them get their hands on our NHS.’
A Reform spokesman said: ‘Dr Aseem Malhotra is a guest speaker with his own opinions who has an advisory role in the US government.
‘Reform UK does not endorse what he said but does believe in free speech.’
