Leading UK Cardiologist Calls for Immediate Suspension of mRNA Covid Vaccination By Richard Miller (London)

This is a surprising piece of Covid vax news. Preeminent cardiologist and public medical expert, Dr Aseem Malhotra, who was once a leading champion of the vaxxes is now calling for the mRNA vax to be suspended until all safety aspects have been objectively investigated. The claim was made in a two-part article in the per-reviews journal, Journal of Insulin Resistance. The conclusion: “‘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.”

While that is interesting, and about time it happened, one wonders why it took so long to reach the logical conclusion that safety issues had not been adequately addressed. The initial trial data should have been scrutinised before humanity participated in this great medical experiment.

“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.”

PART TWO

In part two, Malhotra offers explanation for how health professionals and officials like D’Ath could remain so blind to the evidence right in front of them, and why the media have similarly maintained such myopic and misleading coverage of the pandemic and the mRNA vaccines.

Malhotra describes the public health response to the Covid pandemic as, “unethical, coercive and misinformed … undermining the principles of ethical evidence-based medical practice and informed consent.”

Malhotra identifies regulatory capture as a primary underlying cause for the abysmal failure of public health policy and messaging:

“Underlying causes for this failure include regulatory capture – guardians that are supposed to protect the public are in fact funded by the corporations that stand to gain from the sale of those medications.”

(emphasis mine)

Regulatory capture
Regulatory capture can impact (but is not limited to) the research feeding into approvals, the approval process itself, the shaping of the knowledge environment around the approval and roll out, and suppression of unfavourable information. Anyone who has watched Dopesick or read Bad Pharma knows that regulatory capture and its associated evils have long been known.

In 2004, Dr Marcia Angell^, Former-Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, stated the problem succintly in an article for The New York Review,

“Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself.”

In a passage that should make readers turn pale, Malhotra shares that,

“One researcher at a prestigious UK institution contacted me to inform me that in his cardiology department a group of academics were deliberately suppressing research that revealed that the mRNA vaccine was shown to significantly increase coronary risk as determined by cardiac imaging as compared to the unvaccinated. The chair of the group expressed concerns that publishing the data may result in loss of funding from the pharmaceutical industry.”

Frightening.

Media and social media censorship
Malhotra also addresses censorship and the generally shoddy reporting on Covid, particularly relating to the mRNA products.

In a nutshell, it’s:
Everything, all the time, “Sponsored, by Pfizer.”

“Abstract

Background: In response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), several new pharmaceutical agents have been administered to billions of people worldwide, including the young and healthy at little risk from the virus. Considerable leeway has been afforded in terms of the pre-clinical and clinical testing of these agents, despite an entirely novel mechanism of action and concerning biodistribution characteristics.

Aim: To gain a better understanding of the true benefits and potential harms of the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccines.

Methods: A narrative review of the evidence from randomised trials and real world data of the COVID mRNA products with special emphasis on BionTech/Pfizer vaccine.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally. A pause and reappraisal of global vaccination policies for COVID-19 is long overdue.

Contribution: This article highlights the importance of addressing metabolic health to reduce chronic disease and that insulin resistance is also a major risk factor for poor outcomes from COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: Authorities and sections of the medical profession have supported unethical, coercive, and misinformed policies such as vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, undermining the principles of ethical evidence-based medical practice and informed consent. These regrettable actions are a symptom of the ‘medical information mess’: The tip of a mortality iceberg where prescribed medications are estimated to be the third most common cause of death globally after heart disease and cancer.

Aim: To identify the major root causes of these public health failures.

Methods: A narrative review of both current and historical driving factors that underpin the pandemic of medical misinformation.

Results: Underlying causes for this failure include regulatory capture – guardians that are supposed to protect the public are in fact funded by the corporations that stand to gain from the sale of those medications. A failure of public health messaging has also resulted in wanton waste of resources and a missed opportunity to help individuals lead healthier lives with relatively simple – and low cost – lifestyle changes.

Conclusion: There is a strong scientific, ethical and moral case to be made that the current COVID vaccine administration must stop until all the raw data has been subjected to fully independent scrutiny. Looking to the future the medical and public health professions must recognise these failings and eschew the tainted dollar of the medical-industrial complex. It will take a lot of time and effort to rebuild trust in these institutions, but the health – of both humanity and the medical profession – depends on it.

Contribution: This article highlights the importance of addressing metabolic health to reduce chronic disease and that insulin resistance is also a major risk factor for poor outcomes from COVID-19.”

 

It is all a bit too late now, with the vast majority of humanity all vaxxed up.
