COVID-19 Vaccine Linked to Cancer in Royal Family, Says Controversial Medical Adviser

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

A leading medical adviser to anti-vax Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed that King Charles and Kate Middleton may have developed cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who advises the RFK Jr.-linked activist group MAHA Action, believes the COVID mRNA vaccine could have caused cancer in the royals. This statement comes despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) stating that there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer or increase the risk of developing cancer.

Key Takeaways:

  • Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist, has claimed that King Charles and Kate Middleton may have developed cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Malhotra bases his claim on discredited studies, including a 2025 paper by Paul Marik and Justus Hope, which was published in the Journal of Independent Medicine.
  • The paper, titled "COVID-19 mRNA-Induced 'Turbo Cancers'," assembles anecdotes and speculative mechanisms but doesn't produce population-level evidence that COVID mRNA vaccines cause or accelerate cancer.
  • Malhotra is a controversial figure who has received criticism for repeatedly making claims that are not backed by scientific consensus.
  • He has been vocal about his beliefs that COVID-19 vaccines may be linked to cancer, despite the lack of evidence.
  • The CDC, FDA, and NCI have stated that there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer or increase the risk of developing cancer.
  • Malhotra's views have brought him close to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has also been vocal about his opposition to COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Steven Hatfill, a senior Department of Health and Human Services adviser, has also promoted the idea that COVID mRNA vaccines may be linked to cancer.
  • Hatfill has been a vocal advocate for 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.
  • Angus Dalgliesh, an emeritus professor of oncology at the University of London, has also publicly alleged that mRNA boosters can drive rapid cancer progression.

Statistics:

  • 2025: The year in which a paper was published in the Journal of Independent Medicine titled "COVID-19 mRNA-Induced 'Turbo Cancers'."
  • 2023: The year in which Dr. Malhotra stated that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump administration were hoping to ban the COVID mRNA vaccine.
  • 2025: The year in which a paper was published in the Journal of Independent Medicine titled "COVID-19 mRNA-Induced 'Turbo Cancers'."
  • 70%: The percentage of COVID-19 vaccines that have been administered to the medically vulnerable and over-65s in the United States.
  • 10%: The percentage of COVID-19 vaccines that have been administered to the general public in the United States.
