Leading doctors have urged Reform leader, Nigel Farage, not to put lives in danger by handing Malhotra – who claims that mRNA COVID vaccines did more harm than good – a prime conference slot. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage attends a meeting alongside the leader of Kent County Council, Linden Kemkaran, on July 7, 2025. They also promote the false claim that COVID vaccines cause “turbo cancers”. It went on to describe him as a “leading cardiologist” who has “risen to serious prominence”, and quoted him claiming COVID vaccines had “done more harm than good”. In a casual interview last year, Farage backtracked from his previous support for COVID vaccines, saying he started to become suspicious when he was offered a booster.
