A leading medical adviser to anti-vax Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is claiming that King Charles and Kate Middleton may have developed cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n

It was announced last year that Charles and his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, were being treated for cancer.<\/p>\n

Dr. Aseem Malhotra\u2014the controversial British cardiologist who advises the RFK Jr.-linked activist group MAHA Action\u2014says he believes they could have developed cancer from the COVID mRNA vaccine, citing discredited studies that have also been promoted by senior Department of Health and Human Services adviser Steven Hatfill, who became infamous for pushing hydroxychloroquine when he was part of the first Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> (CDC), the U.S Food and Drug Administration<\/a> (FDA), and the National Cancer Institute<\/a> (NCI), among other credible medical organizations, have all stated that there is no evidence COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer, or make developing cancer any more likely.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Malhotra was expected to say during a speech at the annual conference of Nigel Farage\u2019s MAGA-inspired Reform Party on Saturday: \u201cWe have several published mechanisms of how the mRNA vaccine can increase the risk of cancer confirmed by\u2026 Steven Hatfill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is also supported by one of Britain\u2019s most eminent oncologists, Angus Dalgleish, who is happy for me to share today that he believes it is highly likely members of the Royal Family developed cancer because of the COVID jab.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malhotra\u2014who has received criticism for repeatedly making claims that are not backed by scientific consensus, but whose views have brought him close to Kennedy\u2014was due to make the unfounded statement about the royals during his speech at the Reform conference in Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n

Farage, who leads the Reform Party, is an ally of Donald Trump\u2019s and spearheaded the Brexit campaign for the U.K. to leave the European Union. He met the president in the Oval Office this week.<\/p>\n

Malhotra told the Daily Beast<\/a> last month that RFK Jr. and the Trump administration were hoping to ban the COVID mRNA vaccine in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Like Malhotra, Hatfill\u2014who was appointed to the role as a senior HHS advisor in the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response in May\u2014is a controversial figure. The Trump ally has repeatedly warned\u2014against all accepted scientific evidence\u2014that COVID mRNA vaccines may be driving a \u201ccancer signal.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the studies Malhotra and Hatfill cite is a 2025 paper by Paul Marik and Justus Hope, published in the Journal of Independent Medicine, titled \u2018COVID-19 mRNA-Induced \u201cTurbo Cancers.\u201d<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n

However, oncology and vaccine-safety experts say the review assembles anecdotes and speculative mechanisms but doesn\u2019t produce population-level evidence that COVID mRNA vaccines cause or accelerate cancer. <\/p>\n

In the early days of the pandemic, Hatfill also vigorously championed treating COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine, despite multiple studies and the FDA saying the drug provided no meaningful clinical benefit and could actually cause people harm.<\/p>\n

Dalgleish, emeritus professor of oncology at the University of London, has also publicly alleged mRNA boosters can drive rapid cancer progression. Dalgleish\u2019s beliefs have been repeatedly debunked by the medical community.<\/p>\n

Last month, Malhotra told the Daily Beast that RFK Jr. and Trump\u2014having already made the COVID mRNA vaccine available only to the medically vulnerable and over-65s\u2014were planning to pull it off the market altogether.<\/p>\n

Malhotra says there are people within the Trump administration, as well as among Trump\u2019s family, who agree with RFK Jr. that there are so-called \u201cinjuries\u201d caused by the vaccine. Kennedy and the Trump associates do not have any medical qualifications.<\/p>\n

Days after the Daily Beast revealed plans to pull the vaccine, a wave of CDC departures occurred over Kennedy\u2019s vaccine policy. Trump then publicly called on drug companies to prove that their COVID jabs worked.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast approached Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, the HHS, and Dalgleish for comment. Dalgleish said: \u201c[While] we do not know that Charles and Kate\u2019s unexpected cancers were caused by the vaccines, as they both presented with benign conditions\u2026 it is highly likely.\u201d <\/p>\n

White House spokesman Kush Desai said: \u201cThis individual is not a member of the Administration, and does not represent the Administration\u2019s thinking or planning. The Daily Beast should expend its obviously limited capabilities on trying to accurately cover the people who actually can speak on behalf of the Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A leading medical adviser to anti-vax Health Secretary Robert F.
