NHS heart doctor who championed Covid vaccines now wants jabs suspended after death of his father

A leading NHS cardiologist has changed his mind about the potential health risks of the Covid vaccine following the death of his father - and he is now calling for the mRNA jabs to be suspended. Dr Aseem Malhotra had previously appeared on TV's Good Morning Britain to encourage vaccine uptake after praising vaccines as “one of medicine’s greatest achievements” in an article published in the Journal of Insulin Resistance.

He told The Telegraph that, at the time, he thought traditional vaccines were "the Holy Grail of medicine, and it was not even a possibility for me that they could do any harm". But he has now changed his mind on the Covid jabs following the sudden death of his father.

He told The Telegraph he "cannot understand" how Dr Kailash Chand, a former deputy chair of the British Medical Association (BMA), could suffer a fatal cardiac arrest. Dr Malhotra said that his father, 73, was "one of the fittest guys I knew" who was still walking up mountains shortly before he died.
