Reform UK slammed for allowing vaccine sceptic to address conference

• Reform UK has been criticised for allowing cardiologist Dr Assem Malhotra, a vaccine sceptic, to address its conference.
• Dr Malhotra claimed that Covid vaccines may have caused cancer in members of the royal family and suggested they were more likely to cause harm than the virus itself.
• Health Secretary Wes Streeting condemned Reform UK's decision as “irresponsible” and called for Nigel Farage to apologise for giving a platform to “poisonous lies”.
• Medical experts, including Professor Brian Ferguson and Professor Penny Ward, dismissed Dr Malhotra's claims as “meaningless pseudoscience” and “outlandish conspiracy theory”.
• They said there is no credible evidence linking Covid vaccines to cancer or widespread harm, stating that the vaccines have saved millions of lives.
