A Doctor has pronounced that at least one of the royals cancer is because of the Covid vaccine. It's highly insensitive and repulsive to make such announcements for people he's has no medical involvement with. . Did you think these dangerous people had gone away, as we've not really heard from them, sadly as our child vaccination rates plummet?

It’s an impossible thing to tell where cancer comes from, there are so many carcinogens in modern life. I’ve never heard of a medical practitioner being able to specify what causes or why.

It’s vastly irresponsible and the doctor surely knows the furore that they will cause

At this point, needs striking off the register just for the comments alone.

But, like with Reform, it’s the grift that counts and there’s many people out there willing to give them money, so hey talking bollocks is a win in this economy

Off with his head. Someone can then say truthfully that a side effect of the COVID vaccine is decapitation, even if you didn't take it

Bearing in mind this doctor has paid taxes which in turn have paid for both the king and Kate’s treatment and standard of living they enjoy and last time I looked we lived in a free country albeit the far right work hard to lie to people that we don’t …. I’d say the doctor can air their opinion … it might ne true it might be bullshit but it’s an opinion on public figures .. whoops never heard those before on public figures !!

A doctor, however, has an oath to respect, and shouldn't be pronouncing on people he's never met, nor treated.🥷

It's irresponsible and pretty offensive. I'm a little surprised that Farage and Tice etc allowed it, thought they were trying to portray themselves as serious politicians now? I'm hoping this might put a few people off them, but I won't hold my breath.

It's not an opinion on them it's an opinion on their cancer based on no evidence whatsoever. I doubt he has access to their medical records much less them in person

It's an echo of Trump and RFK spouting unproven bonkers claims. The only surprising thing here is that the speaker was a doctor. Hopefully, the BMA will be looking closely at his claims.

For having an opinion that some find distasteful he should be struck off.

Could this be a threat to free speech?

If so from who the doctor or those he offended?

The doctor should be free to say whatever.

If that whatever demonstrates that they're a danger to the public as a doctor, they should have that privilege removed.

Starmer filling his pants at the prospect of reform being voted in. Today apparently long term empty military bases are going to be used in substitute for hotels to house migrants.

. We live in a free society and everyone is entitled to express an opinion. How many people accept his opinions. ? He has hardly done any harm. No one is going to act on his opinion.

It’s not a matter of free speech, it’s a matter of professional and medical ethics. If he wants to grift and spout nonsense then resign as a doctor and stop practising.

We’ve seen one death already of a woman because her mother believed the sort of nonsense these people spout and thought coffee enema’s would cure her daughters cancer.

Farage will be making money from it which is always his first priority..he's the Chairman [and founder] of an odd, anti-vax, anti-World Health Organisation called, Action on World Health.

Renowned anti-vax crank, Aseem Malhotra is their 'Chief Health Advisor'.

Action on World Health say they want to 'replace the WHO'. It's a whole Brexit but for health thing. They even use the same slogans — Take Back Control etc.

It's headed up by another shady guy called David Roach who is a lobbyist for the nicotine industry.

We have a poor record of delivering information that would support or discredit these types of claims to the masses.

When you leave the important stuff to influencers and personal opinion, water doesn't become muddy, it becomes mud.

Because the very first casualty is yourselves, you can't talk about the boats and sending migrants to camps anymore, can't call for keeping communities safe anymore, you might offend someone and then be silenced.

Nobody is saying he shouldn't have the right to free speech, they are saying that free speech comes with consequences. the consequence in this case is credibility and questionable professionalism from a person who most would consider to have significant authority in this area.

Free speech is a right. But with rights come responsibilities. A doctor suspecting the cause of any illness should gather evidence, commission research, and publish the results in The Lancet. It's called professionalism.

Because it was at this reform conference were this info came out?

So ask the one who you support, if it is wise to speculate about the king.

Yes and you missed out the right to freedom of speech and expression for all regardless of race.

When one falls into posting expressive comments about a person they only know through freedom of speech and expression, and the other puts said person down says a lot for that person.

You are parroting a well known narrative which is well has endangered free speech and expression.

He the doctor in question im being told now is parroting another doctors view?

so you can parrot what is being said that you agree with, but If you do not agree shun them it seems.

The original person who started this claim is the person responsible and if you wish be held accountable, by striking her off, made to face some sort of panel, ruining her life for comments made.

But its ok for you, remember everything you wish for applies to you.

so you can parrot what is being said that you agree with, but If you do not agree shun them it seems.

The original person who started this claim is the person responsible and if you wish be held accountable, by striking her off, made to face some sort of panel, ruining her life for comments made.

But its ok for you, remember everything you wish for applies to you.

You’re jumping from one thing to another. I’ve been clear, the doctor has every right to say what he feels is necessary, but he must also be accountable for what he says as a professional. If your car broke down and a mechanic told you that you needed a new engine when it was only a spark plug you needed, you would hardly accept that as good professional service. It’s the same principle, authority brings responsibility.

He's entirely entitled to his opinion.

If my child was ill would Imtrusr his diagnosis or suggested treatment ?

I'd struggle to find sympathy if he was struck off and if he's a GP I'd certainly be changing to another practice if he wasn't.

"For having an opinion that some find distasteful he should be struck off.

Could this be a threat to free speech?

If so from who the doctor or those he offended?

It’s not a matter of free speech, it’s a matter of professional and medical ethics. If he wants to grift and spout nonsense then resign as a doctor and stop practising.

We’ve seen one death already of a woman because her mother believed the sort of nonsense these people spout and thought coffee enema’s would cure her daughters cancer.

I agree. Highly unprofessional to make uninformed speculation on patients he's not involved with. He risks being struck off, or at the very least a reprimand.

Yes shun him, for saying things against the narrative.

As for professional ethics who here is an expert.

Who here is a doctor.

Who here wants free speech.

Who wants to silence those who offend them?

Because the very first casualty is yourselves, you can't talk about the boats and sending migrants to camps anymore, can't call for keeping communities safe anymore, you might offend someone and then be silenced.

Nobody is saying he shouldn't have the right to free speech, they are saying that free speech comes with consequences. the consequence in this case is credibility and questionable professionalism from a person who most would consider to have significant authority in this area.

If he hadn't said it, you wouldn't be offended.

I'm not offended. He actually didn't say anything on the subject in his own name, he referred to Professor Angus Dalgleish. However it is reasonable, to assume people will take what he said as correct considering his title and the platform he was on. That comes with accountability.

You are parroting a well known narrative which is well has endangered free speech and expression.

He the doctor in question im being told now is parroting another doctors view?

I have also been clear free speech is ok with all here as long as it meets a certain standard especially if the commentator is a professional, and those holding court are not.

And when the commentator are as well followed within a certain group then that group will follow the leader.

I will put it in another way.

He is entitled to his (but it wasn't his opinion he was parroting an opinion of another, but he still should be shunned and take accountability for another).

So my question is if he is entitled to his opinion which wasn't his opinion in the first place, why would you leave his Pratice?

Is it because you took the vax?

They do and they get far more exposure than the number of mps warrants. If I was so inclined I'd think there was undue influence at work

I genuinely hope that Reform don’t get in.

That said I find it strange that people are fixating on their lack of policies years out from the election. It is a genuine shame that Labour weren’t subject to the same focus on their lack of meaningful policies when the Tories were making a complete disaster of their final years. If Labour had been _properly_ questioned then maybe they wouldn’t have come into government so woefully unprepared and Reform wouldn’t have been able to get a foothold.

I agree with all you wrote except one, I do not think any party would give away their secrets (I wonder do reform have secrets, more skeletons), only before or a little after an election is called.

And I suppose they do that so other parties cannot take the win by stealing other policies.

Not that Reform have any.

It's upsetting for most of us who got cancer and most reasonable people don't want to potentially stress or upset people any further. This, especially as their well-being may be vitally important that they inhibit any recurrence.

I don't know whether this shyster was referring to Kate or Charles but neither of them deserve to have unnecessary ill health imposed on them. Kate and her children should be left alone, to recover.

Definitely a nasty, cheap and grubby attention grabbing attempt

Inevitable that vaccination rates would drop after our experience during covid/lockdowns. Any idiot could have predicted what the outcome would be.

Unfortunately it’s what happens when you force vaccines on people who don’t need them, and people take medication not on any clinical grounds but so they can go on holiday.

Catastrophic breakdown of trust between the medical profession and patients.

It's sad that this has been connected to politics but perhaps that was the objective from him or backers.

I don't know this alleged Doctor. Someone alleged he pays tax here. But it seems fully unethical to try to diagnose someone who you've never examined, don't have their medical notes, etc and to do so publicly and for conditions that are complex. Charlatan comes to mind.

near enough

A view from AI

There's no conclusive evidence linking COVID-19 vaccines to cancer. In fact, reputable health organizations like the National Cancer Institute and Cancer Research UK emphasize that COVID-19 vaccines do not cause cancer or increase the risk of cancer recurrence.

*Understanding the Concerns:*

- A study published in Molecular Systems Biology suggested that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines might lead to genetic changes associated with cancer and autoimmune disorders. However, experts have clarified that the study's findings have been misinterpreted, and the marker in question isn't inherently "good or bad" but rather a tool the body uses to regulate genes.

- Some anecdotal reports and case studies have raised concerns about potential links between COVID-19 vaccines and cancer, but these have been largely discredited as misinterpreting correlation with causation or based on weak evidence ¹ ² ³.

*Key Facts:*

- *Vaccine Safety for Cancer Patients*: COVID-19 vaccines are known to increase protection against severe cases of the virus, and experts encourage everyone, including cancer patients, to get vaccinated.

- *Immune Response*: Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines may be less effective in some people with cancer, particularly those with blood cancers or undergoing aggressive chemotherapy. However, any level of protection is still beneficial.

- *Cancer Research*: Organizations like Cancer Research UK continue to encourage cancer patients to take up all relevant doses of the vaccine, as it can help prevent severe illness and complications from COVID-19 ⁴ ⁵.

Forced, maybe not. However I had work that meant I needed to travel, I couldn't do that without a vaccine passport, and tests either side.

Exactly. No doctor worth his/her salt will discuss their own patient's case in public much less the case of another doctor. Medical professionals are bound by the ethics of patient confidentiality. I expect this doctor to be getting a reprimand off both his employer and professional body.

By all means if you think people should have been forced to take the Covid vaccine just be honest with yourself and others and say so. It’s an intellectually honest position to take:

“We can’t trust the peasants to do the right thing just force them to take it. A few will suffer the consequences, we have no data on which of them will be harmed or die but it’s a small number so it’s a price worth someone else paying. Tell them to take it or they can’t go on holiday and won’t be able to work”.

That at least is an honest if unsavoury position.

If it helps you to understand the vacuity of your argument here is what a Covid vaccine programme based on free choice and usual ethical standards would look like.

The government would say that in its opinion, people should take the vaccine if not for their own benefit then for the benefit of those around them. The overwhelming majority of people do not need to take the vaccine and are not in danger, but the government would like the citizenry to think of others. However there are risks for everyone, and ultimately each must decide for themselves based on their own medical and social circumstances and in consultation with their doctor. It is a matter of choice and there are no social consequences regardless of what choice each of you makes. We would encourage everyone to think of others in the decision they make.

That’s what “free choice” looks like.

There are two aspects to consider in any vaccination programme : individual health and public health. we were encouraged to have Covid vaccinations both to protect ourselves and to protect others, especially the frail and vulnerable. You might think these are separate considerations, but they are not : they are inseparable.

The Hippocratic Oath, which is sadly not now standard throughout the UK, commits the doctor to "do no harm".

Ever since Edward Jenner in 1796 administrated the first vaccination millions, if not Billions, of people have been saved from death or disfigurement by vaccination.

Conspiracy theorists, condemning the practice based on fabricated "evidence" are now reintroducing diseases that were once eradicated. Children and adults are consequently dying from preventable diseases. I struggle to see how any right minded person can gain satisfaction from harming other innocent people that are unknown to them.

All medical professionals understand there is a risk vs benefits trade-off with medicines and vaccines. It's a fallacy to think any medicine is risk free. Basically, "Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice"

People drink alcohol and they know the damage it does, they smoke and they know the damage, they take recreational drugs and they know the damage, they engage in dangerous sports and they know the damage. Life is full of risks, and some very significant ones relate to communicable diseases.

All medicines that are prescribed are passed after stringent testing (except recreational drugs) and the medical profession, like their patients, rely on that testing. The vast majority of medics are not motivated, like drug dealers, drinks companies and extreme sports companies, by money.

However, not all humans are the same. As a consequence you can find on the shelves of any supermarket certain food substances** that will kill certain people. We all know this and yet we do not stop it.

In a similar manner some people may have an adverse reaction to a vaccination. But, like those killed by food stuffs**, they are the extreme exception not the rule. Vaccinations work for the vast majority. Whilst I feel for the 1:100,000 who has an adverse reaction we should not seek to frighten the other 99,999 into not having what will save them.

If you are referring to me what have I posted that is “anti-vax”?

I simply argue for informed and free choice, which is customary for vaccinations and in line with usual ethical principles.

I am actually very pro-vaccination but despair at the harm that has been done to vaccination programmes by the authoritarian and unethical Covid response.

I will be offered a flu vaccine this year. I will turn it down as for my medical circumstances I adjudge it to be unnecessary.

Nobody will pester me about it. They will accept my choice.

I won’t be threatened with:

Not being allowed into the office and losing my job

Not being allowed to leave the country

Not being allowed to socialise in pubs, restaurants and other social settings etc.

My position is not “anti-vax” in the slightest.

It is in accordance with what would have been standard medical ethics up to March 2020.

Unfortunately the “medical profession” has a long history of engagement with authoritarian regimes, particularly when money is part of the equation.

Amazing! Racing drivers did not wear seat belts either. Each year several drivers died. It was the old story of getting out of the car.

Interestingly, the Volvo man who invented the 3 point seat belt decided not to patent it so that it could be used universally to save lives.

"Inevitable that vaccination rates would drop after our experience during covid/lockdowns. Any idiot could have predicted what the outcome would be.

Unfortunately it’s what happens when you force vaccines on people who don’t need them, and people take medication not on any clinical grounds but so they can go on holiday.

Catastrophic breakdown of trust between the medical profession and patients.

Who was forced to have the vaccine?

Forced, maybe not. However I had work that meant I needed to travel, I couldn't do that without a vaccine passport, and tests either side.

You took a decision that the value of the work outweighed any possible health implications there might be regarding the taking of the vaccine, you made a choice. "

I had the first vaccine, but chose not to take the second. As a business owner I was backed into a corner, take it, or lose new contracts. With no known end to lockdown and no support through furlough, I could not keep the business going without it. Was it forced? Not literally, but the rules left no real choice if I wanted to work. Looking back, I think most of the world got it wrong, lockdowns and restrictions should have been targeted at the vulnerable.

On the thread topic, a doctor making unfounded connections between x and y is wrong. But I support choice, whether people had every vaccine, or none at all. It made no difference to me either way.

Mortality rates for children 0-17: 1 per million

Mortality rates for adults 18-29: 14 deaths per million.

Deaths usually among those with comorbidities or obesity issues.

"A Doctor has pronounced that at least one of the royals cancer is because of the Covid vaccine. It's highly insensitive and repulsive to make such announcements for people he's has no medical involvement with. . Did you think these dangerous people had gone away, as we've not really heard from them, sadly as our child vaccination rates plummet? "

I take it this doctor has had a full breakdown of their diagnosis and treatment plan. Had access to the individuals test, bloodworks, biopsies etc and been able to consult with fellow professionals involved in their individual care and actually spoken, examined and consulted with the patient involved.

From these in depth examinations and consultations, their conclusions would then be discussed with other health care consultants and then conclusions reached.

Or

I could be that the patient succumbed to Covid and therefore it's the reason for being diagnosed with cancer.

Bit like 2 plus 2 equals 7.

But, to be fair, most cancers have a driver and in some a virus is the driver but I've not experienced Covid as a driver in most virus driven cancers but would be interested in the evidence.

You said you felt forced against your will to have the first covid vaccine but then declined others.

You will have benefited from that first jab but you will also have benefited from other people having all their covid vaccinations (and other vaccinations) because this made it less likely that you would become ill.

The COVID vaccine was never designed to provide immunity, it was designed to reduce symptoms, prevent severe illness and reduce hospitals admissions. That’s why whether someone else took it or not made no real difference to my own likelihood of catching COVID, only to theirs in terms of how ill they became. Having said that, the reduced symptoms the vaccine provided allowed people to continue to go about their daily lives, and is thought to have played a considerable role in the ongoing spread of the virus....

As I mentioned, I'm not talking about other vaccines and you still try and shoehorn that in. Many people considered the covid vaccine rushed and that is why they didn't take it. Other vaccines have had a lot longer in the field and are evidenced based on outcomes, that is not what this is about....

We should also return to the topic, ref the doctor who claimed royal family cancer was likely caused by the covid vaccine.

Back when open racing cars did not use seat belts the single biggest cause of death was being burnt alive while trapped in the wreckage, so they preferred to be thrown out and take their chances with what ever injuries they sustained from that.

Let's take your claim that covid vaccinations caused the R rate to increase rather than decrease as being true for the sake of argument.

Wouldn't other people being vaccinated and therefore not overloading the healthcare system still increase your chance of survival if you became sympomatic?


"We should also return to the topic, ref the doctor who claimed royal family cancer was likely caused by the covid vaccine."

The points are related. Aseem Malhotra and indirectly Reform are promoting the idea that vaccination is a bad thing.

The doctor this thread is centered on is the Chief Medical Advisor to MAHA, the Trump/RFK initiative that has MAGA people even more stirred up against vaccines than before.

RFK has sacked all 17 members of the CDC's Committee on Immunization Practices and is replacing them with people who have more correct ideological positions. And it looks like he's pushing Andrew Wakefield's idea that autism is caused by vaccines.


"“The autism epidemic has now reached a scale unprecedented in human history because it affects the young,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “The risks and costs of this crisis are a thousand times more threatening to our country than COVID-19. Autism is preventable and it is unforgivable that we have not yet identified the underlying causes. We should have had these answers 20 years ago.”"

In April this year RFK said “we expect to begin to have answers by September.” So we shouldn't have long to wait.

This isn't science. - he's saying that autism is preventable yet the underlying causes are unknown. If you don't know the underlying causes then how do you know it's preventable? Forget concepts like falsifiability, MAHA is just going to be looking for data to confirm the conspiracy theories they already believe to be true.

"The COVID vaccine was never designed to provide immunity, it was designed to reduce symptoms, prevent severe illness and reduce hospitals admissions. That’s why whether someone else took it or not made no real difference to my own likelihood of catching COVID, only to theirs in terms of how ill they became. Having said that, the reduced symptoms the vaccine provided allowed people to continue to go about their daily lives, and is thought to have played a considerable role in the ongoing spread of the virus....

Let's take your claim that covid vaccinations caused the R rate to increase rather than decrease as being true for the sake of argument.

Wouldn't other people being vaccinated and therefore not overloading the healthcare system still increase your chance of survival if you became sympomatic?

We should also return to the topic, ref the doctor who claimed royal family cancer was likely caused by the covid vaccine.

The points are related. Aseem Malhotra and indirectly Reform are promoting the idea that vaccination is a bad thing."

It wasn't my claim...

Lets put this to bed, as you are going in circles here trying to argue something I have not said....

The R rate is not what I said, I said spread. The reduced effect of symptoms is thought to have increased the spread. People were still going to work, or going out so the spread became wider in those places.

Lastly, Reform have distanced themselves from this doctor, but they did provide him a platform, however they are not as you say indirectly promoting that vaccination is a bad thing.

You have also conveniently shoehorned in all vaccinations again with your statement. I will remind you again, I'm not talking about all vaccines

Ah, the pathetic thousands are dying so what's a few hundred more argument.

Self-harm and road traffic accidents are I believe the leading causes of death amongst young people. These are two things I am very concerned about. Perhaps we can discuss them on another thread.

What do you mean by "spread"? There's the R rate which is the reproduction rate so if R is 1.2 it means that 10 people will infect 12 people.

The other measure is % growth which is the number of new infections per unit time.

R and growth are just ways of looking at the spreading of infection.


"Lastly, Reform have distanced themselves from this doctor, but they did provide him a platform, however they are not as you say indirectly promoting that vaccination is a bad thing."

Right, so it's all just a coincidence and Reform didn't know this guy's opinions.


"You have also conveniently shoehorned in all vaccinations again with your statement. I will remind you again, I'm not talking about all vaccines"

My posts aren't exclusively directed at you. I'm making a general point that this doctor is deeply involved in the anti-vax movement - him pushing the notion that the covid vaccine caused cancer in the royal family at a Reform party conference is just one example of this.

R rate is the average number of people infected from 1 person. Spread is the where, the who and the pattern. Hence people not having hard symptoms were able to spread it more easily, they carried on mixing.

So, as I expected, your notion of spread - as being "the where, the who and the pattern" is yet another one of your woolly concepts.

As you have argued that "Looking back, I think most of the world got it wrong, lockdowns and restrictions should have been targeted at the vulnerable" and you say you were travelling extensively, it seems possible that you might have been spreading covid around to a greater degree than those who perhaps took the issue more seriously.

Do some proper research instead of dismissing points as woolly, it isn't a good look.... The difference between R rate and spread isn’t my invention. And as I already said, reduced symptoms meant many carried on mixing without realising they had COVID, that’s how spread continued. I also stand by my view that lockdowns could have been handled much better than a total lockdown, I’ve explained my reasoning, but you have glossed over it for the sake of wanting to argue that I did not take COVID seriously, which is pure fiction that you have created.

So is "spread" as you define it quantifiable?

"Inevitable that vaccination rates would drop after our experience during covid/lockdowns. Any idiot could have predicted what the outcome would be.

Unfortunately it’s what happens when you force vaccines on people who don’t need them, and people take medication not on any clinical grounds but so they can go on holiday.

Catastrophic breakdown of trust between the medical profession and patients.

Who was forced to have the vaccine?

Forced, maybe not. However I had work that meant I needed to travel, I couldn't do that without a vaccine passport, and tests either side.

You took a decision that the value of the work outweighed any possible health implications there might be regarding the taking of the vaccine, you made a choice.

In the same way that someone who chose to become a Kapo in a concentration camp was “making a choice”.

“Man the gas chambers and take your chances or be shot now. It’s not me forcing you to do anything. You are making a choice”.

No, not in the same way at all, nobody was threatened with being shot if they didn’t take it, I know plenty who chose not too, people had complete freedom to choose whether to take the vaccine, but if you want to keep deluding yourself feel free to carry on🤷🏻‍♂️

By all means if you think people should have been forced to take the Covid vaccine just be honest with yourself and others and say so. It’s an intellectually honest position to take:

“We can’t trust the peasants to do the right thing just force them to take it. A few will suffer the consequences, we have no data on which of them will be harmed or die but it’s a small number so it’s a price worth someone else paying. Tell them to take it or they can’t go on holiday and won’t be able to work”.

That at least is an honest if unsavoury position.

If it helps you to understand the vacuity of your argument here is what a Covid vaccine programme based on free choice and usual ethical standards would look like.

The government would say that in its opinion, people should take the vaccine if not for their own benefit then for the benefit of those around them. The overwhelming majority of people do not need to take the vaccine and are not in danger, but the government would like the citizenry to think of others. However there are risks for everyone, and ultimately each must decide for themselves based on their own medical and social circumstances and in consultation with their doctor. It is a matter of choice and there are no social consequences regardless of what choice each of you makes. We would encourage everyone to think of others in the decision they make.

That’s what “free choice” looks like."

You mean …. Like …. Actual decisions may have actual consequences attached to them

Heaven forbid!!!!!
