Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a highly published
cardiologist, strives to give his patients the most accurate information about the risks and benefits of any treatment, what he calls “ethical, evidence-based medical practice.” And although he initially thought the mRNA vaccines were safe and effective, he said that after his father’s cardiac arrest in 2021, he realized he needed to dig into vaccine safety and efficacy data.
“Once I had spent time critically analyzing the data on the COVID-19, vaccines, it became very clear to me that the efficacy of this particular novel technology, if you like—
the mRNA products—was very, very poor, certainly in comparison to traditional vaccines, and the harms were unprecedented,” Malhotra said during a Dec. 10 interview for EpochTV’s “
American Thought Leaders” program.
Malhotra details the harms of the mRNA vaccines in a
two-part paper, in which he concludes that the mRNA vaccines should be suspended, at least until the medical community studies the true risks and injuries.
This is a 180-degree shift for Malhotra, who himself received two doses of the mRNA vaccine “under, clearly at that time, a false belief [that] I was going to protect my patients,” he said. Malhotra also publicly encouraged others to get the vaccines. He did this because of his belief that traditional vaccines are some of the safest pharmacological interventions in the history of medicine, he said.
However, after
the sudden death of his father, Malhotra said he found new evidence that prompted him to reevaluate his position on the mRNA vaccines, realizing that this new technology was not having the intended effects.
