An open letter to the General Medical Council of the U.K., written by Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra and signed by several leaders in health, also makes reference to the petition of which he is a co-founder. The letter was CC’d to key figures, including the Chief Medical Officer Sir Chris Whitty, the Chief Scientific Adviser to the British Government Patrick Vallance, and the Secretary of State for Health Wes Streeting.
Dr. Malhotra says that, given the level of evidence of unprecedented harm, their position not to suspend the Covid mRNA products is now untenable. Re-analysis of Pfizer and Moderna’s original randomised controlled trials on the Covid mRNA products by independent experts, including the associate editor of the BMJ, revealed a greater risk of serious harms from the vaccine than from being hospitalised with Covid. This rate of serious harm is 1 in 800 at two months, suggesting the harms are likely much greater, as it does not take into consideration medium- to long-term harms, including heart attacks, strokes and cancer. Conversely, the level of benefit in the highest-risk group – those over 90, according to U.K. HSA data for 2024 – is 1 in 7,000 to prevent a Covid hospitalisation. In other words, there is at least an eight times greater risk of harm than benefit in this group."
