Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a chief medical advisor for Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), is set to allege that COVID-19 vaccines may cause cancer during a speech at the Reform UK conference in Birmingham this week. The British physician, known for his skepticism of mass vaccination campaigns, has previously criticized mRNA vaccines and now claims they are linked to “turbo cancers” in young individuals.

Malhotra asserted that mRNA vaccines interfere with “tumour-suppressing genes,” leading to severe health complications. He argued that the NHS faces increasing strain not from COVID-19 but from what he termed “vaccine injury,” urging a moratorium on vaccinations in the UK. “Millions of people are walking around with all sorts of illnesses, and there needs to be a moratorium on vaccines,” he stated.

The conference, hosted by Reform UK—a right-wing populist party co-founded by Nigel Farage—has drawn attention for its alignment with anti-vaccine rhetoric. Malhotra has previously called for an immediate halt to mRNA vaccine distribution, claiming “overwhelming evidence” supports his stance. He emphasized that the vaccines should never have been administered to anyone, citing alleged long-term risks.

Malhotra is scheduled to address thousands of attendees at the event, vowing to “explain the root cause of our healthcare crisis” without restraint. His remarks come amid ongoing debates over vaccine safety and policy shifts in the U.S., where figures like RFK Jr. have also challenged mRNA vaccine programs.
