Royal Cancer Concerns Fueled by Discredited Vaccine Claims
A leading medical advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is alleging a potential link between the COVID-19 vaccine and the cancer diagnoses of King Charles and the Princess of Wales, igniting a fresh wave of controversy surrounding vaccine safety. The claims, made by a cardiologist with ties to anti-vaccine activism, directly contradict established scientific consensus.
SEO Meta Description: Concerns are rising over unsubstantiated claims linking the COVID-19 vaccine to the cancer diagnoses of King Charles and Kate middleton,despite evidence to the contrary.
The allegations center on Dr. aseem Malhotra, a british cardiologist who advises MAHA Action, an activist group linked to Kennedy jr. malhotra reportedly believes that the royal diagnoses may be connected to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, citing studies that have been widely discredited by the medical community. This assertion comes after both King Charles and Catherine,Princess of Wales,publicly announced their battles with cancer last year.
Malhotra is expected to elaborate on these claims during a speech at the annual conference of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party on Saturday. According to reports, he will state, “We have several published mechanisms of how the mRNA vaccine can increase the risk of cancer confirmed by… Steven Hatfill.” Hatfill, a senior advisor within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), gained notoriety during the Trump governance for promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment, despite a lack of evidence supporting its efficacy.
The claims are being met with strong opposition from leading health organizations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have all affirmed that there is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer or increase the likelihood of developing the disease.
One study frequently cited by Malhotra and Hatfill is a 2025 paper published in the Journal of Self-reliant Medicine, titled ‘COVID-19 mRNA-Induced “Turbo Cancers.”‘ However, experts in oncology and vaccine safety emphasize that the review relies on anecdotal evidence and speculative mechanisms, failing to provide population-level data demonstrating a causal link.
Adding to the complexity, Angus Dalgleish, an emeritus professor of oncology at the University of London, has publicly suggested that mRNA boosters could accelerate cancer progression.His views, however, have been repeatedly challenged and debunked by the broader medical community. Dalgleish acknowledged to The Daily Beast that while a direct causal link cannot be established, it is indeed “highly likely” that the royal diagnoses are connected to the COVID-19 vaccine.
The situation is further intricate by the close ties between Malhotra,Kennedy Jr., and figures within the Trump administration. Malhotra and Kennedy have a personal friendship and frequently collaborate at health events. Malhotra recently told The Daily Beast that Kennedy Jr. and the Trump administration are considering a complete ban on the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, having already limited its availability to medically vulnerable individuals and those over 65. He also indicated that individuals within Trump’s circle share Kennedy Jr.’s concerns about vaccine-related “injuries.”
Following a report by The Daily Beast detailing these plans, a series of departures occurred within the CDC related to Kennedy’s vaccine policies. Subsequently, former President trump publicly challenged pharmaceutical companies to prove the efficacy of their COVID-19 vaccines.
The White House swiftly distanced itself from Hatfill’s claims, with a spokesperson stating that he does not represent the Administration’s views or planning. Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace,and also the HHS,were approached for comment.
The spread of these unsubstantiated claims underscores the ongoing challenge of combating misinformation surrounding COVID-19 vaccines and highlights the potential for such narratives to gain traction within politically aligned groups, such as the Reform Party led by Brexit advocate Nigel Farage, who recently met with President Trump in the Oval Office.
