Leading UK cardiologist calls for immediate suspension of mRNA Covid vaccination

New paper by Dr Aseem Malhotra for the Journal of Insulin Resistance
​This is pretty stunning.

Dr Aseem Malhotra, preeminent cardiologist and public medical expert, is calling for mRNA Covid vaccination to be suspended world wide until the raw trial data has been released and analysed by independent experts, and safety signals have been addressed.

In a two-part peer-reviewed article published today in the Journal of Insulin Resistance, Malhotra provides a review of the evidence from both randomised trials and real world data pertaining to Covid mRNA vaccines. The results are sobering:
”In the non-elderly population the “number needed to treat” to prevent a single death runs into the thousands. Re-analysis of randomised controlled trials using the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology suggests a greater risk of serious adverse events from the vaccines than being hospitalised from COVID-19. Pharmacovigilance systems and real-world safety data, coupled with plausible mechanisms of harm, are deeply concerning, especially in relation to cardiovascular safety. Mirroring a potential signal from the Pfizer Phase 3 trial, a significant rise in cardiac arrest calls to ambulances in England was seen in 2021, with similar data emerging from Israel in the 16–39-year-old age group.”
(emphasis mine)

​
Malhotra concludes that, due to the persistent and widespread misinformation about risks and benefits of these products, even in medical professional circles, ”It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally.” For this reason, he says that, “a pause and reappraisal of global vaccination policies for COVID-19 is long overdue.”

Remember, Malhotra went on Good Morning Britain to promote Covid vaccines during the initial rollout. He was one of the first to roll his sleeve up to take the primary series of Pfizer shots in January 2021. He regarded criticism of Covid vaccines as anti-vax propaganda. He has done a complete 180.

I have great admiration for Malhotra’s intellectual courage and humility in publicly reversing course on this. Unfortunately, it was the sudden and inexplicable cardiac death of his 73 year old father in July 2021 that planted the seed for Malhotra’s line of enquiry into Covid vaccine safety, particularly pertaining to cardiac health, which is his area of expertise. Malhotra’s father had received two of Pfizer’s mRNA shots within the six months prior to his death. Other than that, he was in excellent health when he died, and Malhotra could not make sense of his post mortem results, which showed severe blockages in two of his three major arteries.

Several months later, Malhotra came across a peer-reviewed abstract which showed strong correlation between mRNA vaccines and significantly increased the risks of a coronary events. This made him wonder if his father’s inexplicable death could be related to the mRNA vaccine, and thus he began a systematic review of the data.

PART ONE
Key findings:

• Way more people need to be vaccinated to prevent infection or death than is typical of other, more highly effective vaccines (eg: smallpox). The public were misled, particularly in the use of relative risk reduction (RRI) instead of absolute risk reduction (ARR) in media and government communications around the benefits afforded by vaccination.
• Reanalysis of mRNA vaccine trial data shows that one is more likely to suffer a serious adverse event from the vaccines than to be hopsitalised with Covid. Analysis of real world pharmacovigilence databases confirms the signals safety signals from the mRNA trials. Studies have further confirmed for cardiac events in particular, that the rate of incidence linked to mRNA vaccination is greater than background or Covid related incidence.
• Due to the above two points, patients have been denied informed consent, which is ethically required for any medical intervention to go ahead. For this reason, and because of the concerning safety signals related to administration of these products (from Pfizer and Moderna’s trial data, and from real world data), mRNA vaccination should be suspended for the time being.

Malhotra notes the documented rises in emergency ambulance calls for cardiac conditions in particular, which correlate with vaccine roll out (but not with prior Covid spread in the community). He also makes comment on the spike in non-Covid related all-cause mortality seen across Western (highly vaccinated) countries:
“One has to raise the possibility that the excess cardiac arrests and continuing pressures on hospitals in 2021/2022 from non-COVID-19 admissions may all be signalling a non-COVID-19 health crisis exacerbated by interventions, which would of course also include lockdowns and/or vaccines.”

It made me think of this ludicrous clip from April of this year, in which QLD Minister for Health Yvette D'Ath claimed that a sudden 40% rise in code 1 emergency ambulance calls definitely could not be explained:
“I don’t think anyone can explain why we saw a 40% jump in code 1s… I’ll walk into an ambulance service and they’ll say, we had a 30% increase in code 1s yesterday. Can’t tell you why. We just had a lot of heart attacks and chest pains and trouble breathing, you know, respiratory issues. Sometimes you just can’t explain why those things happen.”
She even closed with a tidy little ‘it’s not the vaccines though’ rejoinder. Clown World. I covered it a few months ago HERE.
