#cardiotwitter #vaccineswork @DrAseemMalhotra has made yet again, really elementary errors in reading comprehension that, in a normal cardiology training program, a registrar would get pulled aside and get their sanity checked.

The British Heart Foundation released a report describing excess deaths, numbering > 30 000. The actual report is here - bhf.org.uk/-/media/files/… . First rule of fact checking - try to view primary source data if you can. @DrAseemMalhotra clearly didn't.

It is known internationally that British NHS waiting times have become a significant issue - and while the causes are multifactorial, a big issue is staffing/ retention. The British government has a big, big problem on its hands at the moment.

For the two years from 2020-2022, the BHF reported > 30 000 excess deaths (meaning that many more deaths than expected based upon historical statistics). The general category in which this occured is ischemic heart disease, which means low blood supply to heart arteries.

This in turn has many different causes but typically it is heart artery narrowings, which are sometimes in need of medicines or trips to the cardiac catheterization laboratory. When a health system cannot see its patients in a timely fashion, some narrowings become heart attacks.

@DrAseemMalhotra just makes a very simple assumption that this is all due to mRNA vaccination - which is refutable by the year that the study began - 2020. It is simple physics, that vaccines do not come with the ability to travel back in time.

So far his best evidence is his opinion piece in the journal of insulin resistance. Normally when cardiologists propose new biological mechanisms - they come with animal studies, or basic science studies, and eventually clinical studies. @DrAseemMalhotra has none of these.

I didn't just invent that just now - we've always required other cardiologists to do their due academic diligence before coming forward with extraordinary claims.

In addition, the report **explicitly said** a large section of patients delayed seeking out care due to fearing catching COVID. That's not a vaccine injury.

In addition, the report said there was a lot of undetected atrial fibrillation, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure - all classic adult medical conditions. These are not vaccine injuries.

Quote: "By the end of August 2022, there were a record
346,129 people on a cardiac waiting list in
England.". Being on a waiting list **is not a vaccine injury**. This is basic English reading comprehension.

Quote: " Extreme delays and overcrowding in emergency
departments have led to over 4,500 excess deaths in
2020/21, according to the Royal College of Emergency
Medicine.". Being subject to an ambulance delay is not a vaccine injury.

I quote your own words back to you, @DrAseemMalhotra : bbc.com/news/uk-englan… ; you admitted on record that you believed your fathers passing was related to an ambulance delay, until the HART purchased you.

Quote: "In the 2021 NHS staff survey, 31% of staff said
they often thought about leaving their organisation". This was attributed in the report to burnout. This is not a vaccine injury! @DrAseemMalhotra , when you pull this codswallop, it sure is going to worsen burnout.

So - the best kind of person to hold a rogue cardiologist accountable is another cardiologist. Be very wary of what Malhotra says.
