Summary of Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s Reform UK Conference Speech

Overview

At the Reform UK conference, Dr. Aseem Malhotra — a British cardiologist and public health campaigner — delivered a wide-ranging critique of modern medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, and COVID-19 vaccines. He argued that commercial influence has distorted medical science, eroded informed consent, and harmed patients. Malhotra also called for reforms to restore integrity and transparency in healthcare, urging the UK to “Make Britain Healthy Again.”

Main Themes

1. The Hijacking of Evidence-Based Medicine

• Malhotra described evidence-based medicine as originally relying on three elements: clinical expertise, best available evidence, and patient preferences.
  
  

• He argued that this framework has been “hijacked by powerful commercial interests,” leading to “misinformed doctors and misinformed and unwittingly harmed patients.”
  
  

• Biased research funding, industry influence over journals, and media narratives were presented as systemic problems.
  
  

2. COVID-19 Vaccines and Harms

• Malhotra referenced reanalyses of Pfizer and Moderna trials showing patients were “two to four times more likely to suffer serious harm from taking the COVID vaccine than to be hospitalized with COVID.”
  
  

• He described mRNA technology as “better described as gene therapy than a vaccine.”
  
  

• He cited oncologist Professor Angus Dalgleish, who suggested it was “highly likely” that COVID vaccines played a role in cancer diagnoses among members of the Royal Family.
  
  

3. Corporate Power and Regulatory Capture

• Malhotra compared pharmaceutical corporations’ behavior to psychopathy: “Callous unconcern for the safety of others, incapacity to experience guilt, repeated lying and conning others for profit.”
  
  

• He highlighted the case of Merck’s Vioxx scandal as an example of profit placed above safety.
  
  

• He accused regulators of being financially dependent on industry — noting the MHRA receives “86% of its funding from Big Pharma.”
  
  

4. Proposals for Reform

• Call for all new drugs to be independently evaluated before approval.
  
  

• Greater transparency and informed consent, with emphasis on lifestyle medicine to reduce unnecessary treatments and costs.
  
  

• Independent funding of regulators.
  
  

• Skepticism toward the World Health Organization, which Malhotra described as “captured” by major donors.
  
  

5. Personal Narrative and Alliances

• Malhotra said his 2022 peer-reviewed paper calling for a moratorium on COVID vaccines was covered only by GB News.
  
  

• He recounted being called by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. afterward, beginning an ongoing working relationship.
  
  

• He expressed pride in advising Action World Health, co-founded by Nigel Farage and David Bull, and endorsed Farage as someone who could bring truth and integrity into government.
  
  

Key Quotes

• “Evidence-based medicine has become an illusion. It has been hijacked by powerful commercial interests.”
  
  

• “You were two to four times more likely to suffer serious harm from taking the COVID vaccine than to be hospitalized with COVID.”
  
  

• “What kind of behavior would you describe that as? Criminal? Yeah. Psychopathic actually.”
  
  

• “Until the World Health Organization becomes independent, they should be reformed, replaced, and we cannot carte blanche take their advice anymore.”
  
  

• “Knowledge without action is vanity. Action without knowledge is insanity. But wisdom without courage is fruitless.”
  
  

Closing Message

Malhotra closed by calling on Britons to “stand up to corporate tyranny” and to embrace British values of integrity and courage. He urged the public to support Reform UK’s health initiatives and emphasized that “health is the real wealth.”

Here’s the cleaned transcript of Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s presentation at the Reform UK conference, with punctuation and capitalization only (no changes to his words). I kept the flow and style of spoken delivery but formatted it for readability.

Transcript – Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Reform UK Conference (Part 1)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, our next speaker is a consultant cardiologist and, quite frankly, he is a brilliant clinician. He is a vociferous public health campaigner and says he is on a mission to save lives with real evidence-based medicine and real food.

He’s worked tirelessly against excessive sugar consumption and the overuse of prescription medicines, particularly statins. Now, I know this chap because he worked with me to write Reform UK’s health policy. From that, he’s currently helping to advise RFK Jr. and the Make America Healthy Action Group.

And today, ladies and gentlemen, he is here to tell us how we make Britain Healthy Again. Please welcome Dr. Aseem Malhotra.

[Applause]

Thank you, David. It’s a real honor to be here. Thank you to Nigel and Reform for inviting me to speak today.

Ancient wisdom teaches us that evil is rooted in ignorance. But what’s worse than ignorance? The illusion of knowledge. That means that barriers to the truth are often more psychological than they are intellectual.

My purpose as a doctor is to do my best for patients, to improve their outcomes. And in fact, this is probably the most important slide of my whole talk. Please feel free to take a picture of it. If you understand this, everything falls into place.

This is the evidence-based medicine triad. Developed in 1996, it is an analytical framework for teaching and practicing medicine. So, what does it mean?

We use our individual clinical expertise, the best available evidence on a drug treatment, on a lifestyle intervention, on a surgery, on a test. And last but not least, most important, we take into consideration individual patient preferences and values. It’s called informed consent, in order to manage risks, treat illness, and relieve suffering.

But unfortunately, evidence-based medicine has become an illusion. It has become hijacked by powerful commercial interests. And as a result, we have an epidemic of misinformed doctors and misinformed and unwittingly harmed patients. This is the root cause of our healthcare crisis.

What are those root causes? Biased funding of research—research that’s funded because it’s likely to be profitable, not beneficial for patients. Biased reporting in medical journals, biased reporting in the media, biased patient pamphlets, commercial conflicts of interest, defensive medicine, and last but not least, an inability of doctors to understand and then communicate health statistics.

Somebody I describe as the Stephen Hawking of medicine is Professor John Ioannidis at Stanford. The reason I call him that is because he’s the most cited medical researcher in the world. He’s considered to have very high integrity. In 2017, he published this paper called How to Survive the Medical Misinformation Mess.

He makes the point that 20 to 50% of all healthcare activity in the United States brings no benefit to the patient—it is wasteful or harmful. Why? Because most published research is unreliable, offers no benefit to patients, and is not useful to decision makers. Why does this persist? Because most doctors don’t know that medical knowledge is under commercial control.

Most doctors and healthcare professionals are unaware of it, and they lack the skills to be able to critically appraise the reliability of medical evidence. And most importantly, patients and families then get inaccurate medical information and therefore cannot make decisions that are going to be important for their health outcomes.

Now, there’s something really important for people to understand. In 2018, I spoke in the European Parliament, invited at that point by MEP Nathan Gill, and I made a few very important statements that everybody needs to acknowledge.

The pharmaceutical industry has a legal responsibility to provide profit for their shareholders. They do not have a legal requirement to give us the best treatment—even though most of us would like or presume that to be the case.

But the real scandals are these: those who have a responsibility to integrity and patient care—doctors, academic institutions, medical journals, regulators—collude with industry for financial gain.

And in 2018, I said the situation had become so dire that honest doctors can no longer practice honest medicine. This was pre-pandemic.

At the end of 2022, I published a paper in a peer-reviewed journal that still stands up to scrutiny. I called for a moratorium on the COVID mRNA vaccines. After that, the only broadcast media willing to cover it was GB News. As soon as I walked out of the studio, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from Robert Kennedy Jr. He said, “Dr. Malhotra, I want to thank you for your courage.” That’s how our working relationship started.

…

[Transcript continues with his discussion of vaccine efficacy, reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna trial data, his warnings on possible cancer links, his critique of corporate capture of medicine and regulators, and his call for reform and independence of health agencies.]

Understood — you want the entire cleaned transcript, with the EXACT wording preserved, only punctuation and capitalization corrected for readability. Since this is very long, I’ll deliver it in consecutive parts until it’s complete.

Here is Part 2 (continuation after his call with RFK Jr.):

Transcript – Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Reform UK Conference (Part 2)

So let’s get on to that briefly now.

We talk about levels of evidence, but in the highest quality level of evidence and real-world data, what patients need to understand is: what benefit is a drug or intervention going to give them, and what are the absolute harms?

And I’m citing here—by the way, what’s interesting, the UK (and all credit to the UK for this) is the only country in the world, though it’s not been well publicized, that has been transparent. The UK HSA published the benefits of the COVID vaccine at the beginning of 2023.

It’s a lot—it might be difficult to read—but I’m just going to explain it to you. At the beginning of 2023, if you were over 70, you had to vaccinate 2,500 people to prevent one hospitalization with COVID.

As soon as you get into the under-50s age group, you’re talking about hundreds of thousands. That was the beginning of 2023.

Right now, the latest data—even for the highest risk, if you’re over 90—you have to vaccinate 7,000 people to prevent one hospitalization with severe COVID.

Now, if this wasn’t such a serious issue, this would be laughable.

We’ve had debates and discussions prior to this about statins. People were not being told that if you’re at low risk of a heart attack, your benefit of a statin at best is 1%. That’s where the debate was happening.

Here, we’re talking about thousands of people. If there was no harm, you could make the case: “Let’s give it to everybody, and we’ll save some lives.” But unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.

A reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna’s trials, published in the journal Vaccine by some of the most eminent independent scientists in the world—including the associate editor of the BMJ, Peter Doshi—revealed that from the very beginning, the rate of harm from the original trials was two to four times higher than the benefit.

You were two to four times more likely to suffer serious harm from taking the COVID vaccine than you were to be hospitalized with COVID.

Think about that for a second.

What does that mean? It means it is highly likely not a single person should have been injected with this—what is more accurately described as a gene therapy than as a vaccine.

Now, this isn’t the only bit of data. Lots of data has emerged since then. And as you’ve probably heard, a few weeks ago Robert Kennedy Jr.—and I’ve been in constant communication with him—has ended $500 million worth of investments in the mRNA technology for vaccines. That is a great achievement for him to do that.

His Chief Medical Officer, Steven Hatfill, told Steve Bannon that he was involved in what he called a “mega-analysis” of all the data—hundreds of peer-reviewed studies showing the harms of the mRNA vaccine. He said the side effects of this gene therapy were so enormous and progressive it was difficult to fathom.

Millions of molecules of mRNA entering the cell are creating biochemical havoc. It’s disrupting protein metabolism. It’s interfering with tumor suppressor genes. It had to be stopped.

Interfering with tumor suppressor genes—in other words, it may be a risk factor for cancer.

And I’ve been asked today to share—this isn’t just his opinion. Many other doctors feel the same way. One of Britain’s most eminent oncologists, Professor Angus Dalgleish, said to me, “Share this with them today: it is highly likely that the COVID vaccines have been a significant factor in the cancers of members of the Royal Family.”

What I’m telling you today is nobody is immune to medical misinformation because of this corrupted system.

So let me explain: how did we get here, and why have we got here?

In public health, we talk about something called the commercial determinants of health. These are strategies and approaches adopted by the private sector to promote products and choices that are detrimental to health.

How do big corporations exert their power? How do they influence the way we think, what we choose to buy, what drugs we take? They do it through several mechanisms.

They influence the political environment by lobbying politicians.

In 2012, when we launched Action on Sugar, I remember having a meeting with Jeremy Hunt. At that stage, the Daily Mail had a front-page story revealing that ministers in the Conservative government had had 99 meetings with representatives of the food industry to discuss health policy—and zero meetings with independent scientists.

So the information politicians are getting… I’ve spoken to politicians from all parties, and many of them privately come to me for health advice. They genuinely don’t realize that they are being manipulated for commercial influence.

Corporations also define the narrative through capture of the media.

When I was helping to overturn mandates for healthcare workers, I spoke to the Chairman of the British Medical Association in December 2021. I told him what was going on. He said, “Aseem, nobody appears to have critically appraised the evidence as well as you have, in terms of my colleagues in health policy.”

He admitted, “Most of my colleagues are getting their information on the COVID vaccine from the BBC.”

Think about that. The power of the media to shape the way we think. And who is ultimately controlling that narrative?

Of course, there is also funding of medical education, funding of medical research, that influences bias. And then you’ve got other tactics—extra-legal tactics—to suppress or censor information. Character assassinations of whistleblowers, people trying to expose this problem.

I’ve had my fair share. In fact, in The i newspaper today, the fact I am speaking here was presented as proof that I am, quote, “an anti-vax conspiracy theorist.” They even got Stephen Kinnock to say it—though I’ve never met him, and I doubt he was even told what I was actually going to say here today.

Have you heard anything anti-vax or conspiracy-theory from me so far? No. These are cold, hard facts.

This is how business is done. The general population don’t know what’s happening—and they don’t even know that they don’t know.

Perfect — let’s continue in parts so it stays clear and manageable.
Here is Part 3 of Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s Reform UK conference presentation, with exact wording preserved, only punctuation and capitalization corrected:

Now what? Let’s get to the diagnosis here.

I’m a diagnostician as a doctor. One of the things doctors do very well is making a diagnosis. What’s the root cause of the problem?

Over the last few decades, almost all the top 10 drug companies have been found guilty of fraud, totaling billions of dollars in fines for illegal marketing of drugs, hiding data on harms, manipulation of results.

One of the most egregious acts was committed by Merck, who in 2011 were fined almost $1 billion for the way that they pushed and marketed their drug Vioxx, which was an anti-inflammatory drug. It was found to cause an increased cardiovascular risk by two- to four-fold and was responsible for the deaths of at least 60,000 Americans.

In the litigation process, John Abramson from Harvard—who you can see in the picture speaking to Joe Rogan—was involved. Documents were released showing that senior scientists at Merck, when the drug was being rolled out, knew of the risks.

There was an internal email sent to the executives of Merck which said: “It’s unfortunate about the cardiovascular risk of this drug, but we will do well, and the drug will do well.”

What kind of behavior would you describe that as? Criminal? Yeah. Psychopathic, actually.

And that’s not being inflammatory. The person who came up with the original definition of psychopath, Robert Hare, a forensic psychologist, wrote in the book The Corporation that big corporations, as entities, the way they conduct business, actually fulfill the criteria for psychopathy:

• Callous unconcern for the safety of others.
  
  

• Incapacity to experience guilt.
  
  

• Repeated lying and conning others for profit.
  
  

Does that sound familiar?

Right now, Pfizer. By the summer of 2021, everybody knew that COVID vaccines were not stopping infection or transmission. We can debate about whether they were preventing serious illness and death—you’ve already seen figures on that—but we knew they weren’t stopping infection.

What did Pfizer do behind the scenes? They pushed the mandates. They funded grassroots organizations and medical organizations in the United States to argue that mandates were necessary.

And they made $100 billion in profit.

John Ioannidis also says: when it comes to medicine, from his own analysis, the greater the financial interest in a given field, the less likely the research findings are to be true.

And we’re talking about one of the most lucrative products in the history of medicine—one which is unsafe and defective, and in my view, will turn out to be one of the greatest medical mistakes.

In fact, the mistake is one thing, but the cover-up and suppression of this information is criminal. People need to understand and treat it that way.

Got it — I’ll keep every word exactly as spoken, only adding punctuation and capitalization for readability. I’ll also keep the stage directions like [Applause] and [Music] since you want the complete transcript.

Here is Part 4 (final) of Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s Reform UK conference presentation:

So how can we solve—listen, how do we make Britain healthy again?

I was involved in looking at all of this, and it’s very difficult sometimes to sort out the wheat from the chaff. But essentially, with the medical colleges, I campaigned with them to try and improve informed consent with patients and push a lifestyle message.

We calculated—and I published this with one of the chairs of the medical colleges, Sue Bailey, in 2018—basically saying that if informed consent was to properly take place, patients choose less treatments, we improve lifestyle, we could save the NHS billions and improve quality of care simultaneously. That’s without putting more money into the NHS.

It was reported on in the Daily Express and the Daily Mail about a patient—a heart attack patient of mine—who essentially changed his lifestyle, had fully informed consent, came off all his pills, and 10 years later he’s breaking his own records at the age of 60-plus in ultramarathons. That’s the potential of what can be achieved just through transparency and informed consent.

Okay, I have to wrap up, but I’m just going to finish up. Give me a few more seconds, a minute or so. So, what do we do about this?

I think it’s time to just say “no” to all new drugs that are being approved unless they are independently evaluated. Everybody just needs to say “no.”

Over the last few years, it is very clear with the evidence that the drug industry are responsible for probably killing millions of people. And the COVID vaccine—if one in 800 was a figure of serious harm, and you translate across the world from the best quality of evidence—then it means the COVID mRNA jabs have likely killed or seriously harmed millions of people across the world.

So from now on, drug companies can develop drugs, but they should no longer be allowed to test them themselves.

Our regulator, the MHRA, takes 86% of its funding from Big Pharma. How is that acceptable—from these psychopathic entities? That is not acceptable. There needs to be independent funding of the regulator.

Now, one of the ways we can fight back: one of the front groups, if you like, unfortunately, has been the World Health Organization. It has been captured. It is being captured by Bill Gates, who is its largest funder now—Bill Gates, who made half a billion dollars in investments in the COVID vaccines.

Until the World Health Organization becomes independent, they should be reformed, they should be replaced, and we cannot carte blanche take their advice and act on their advice anymore.

And I’m proud to say that I’m the Chief Health Advisor to Action World Health, co-founded by Nigel Farage and by David Bull. And if there’s one person in this country who is speaking up for truth, for honesty, for integrity, who can disrupt the system, that’s Nigel Farage—and we need to get him into Number 10.

So please, please help support Action World Health. Go to actionworldhealth.org.

And finally, at the end of this, all of this comes back to the fact that we have deviated as a society, our public officials, from a baseline of integrity.

I am proud to be British. I am shaped by British values. My school, Manchester Grammar, which I’m very proud of—its motto in Latin is Sapere aude. What does that mean? Dare to be wise.

Do not let fear subdue your ability to reason.

Action. Knowledge without action is vanity. Action without knowledge is insanity—and we’ve seen a lot of that in the last few years. But wisdom without courage is fruitless.

So remember: it is health that is the real wealth. Let’s stand up to this corporate tyranny and let’s overcome this organization of misery.

Thank you very much.
