In a move that signals a seismic shift in America’s health policy landscape, Dr. Aseem Malhotra—a British cardiologist and vocal critic of Big Pharma’s influence—has been named Chief Medical Advisor to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. With a career built on challenging medical orthodoxy, Malhotra is now taking aim at the heart of the U.S. healthcare system, calling for an immediate moratorium on mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, a crackdown on ultraprocessed foods, and a complete rewrite of federal dietary guidelines. His appointment marks a direct challenge to the establishment, signaling that MAHA is ready to wage war against what it sees as a corrupt, profit-driven medical-industrial complex.
Key points:
Dr. Aseem Malhotra is no stranger to controversy. As an NHS-trained cardiologist, he has spent years exposing what he calls “commercial corruption” in medicine, from the over prescription of statins to the sugar industry’s influence on public health. Now, he’s bringing that same skepticism to the U.S., aligning with MAHA’s mission to dismantle policies he believes have fueled chronic disease and medical dependency.
“I’m not here for political reasons,” Malhotra told DailyMail.com. “I’m here to reflect the evidence.”
That evidence, he claims, points to one undeniable truth: mRNA COVID-19 vaccines should never have been rolled out. “There is OVERWHELMING evidence to call for a moratorium on the mRNA COVID jabs & help the vaccine injured,” he declared. “Let it rip.”
Malhotra’s battle isn’t limited to vaccines. He’s also taking aim at what he calls “the new tobacco”—ultraprocessed foods, which now make up more than half of the average American diet. These chemically laden products, he argues, are driving the nation’s obesity and diabetes epidemics.
“Ultraprocessed foods should be treated like tobacco,” he said, pointing to studies linking them to 120,000 premature deaths annually in the U.S. His plan? Ban them from schools and hospitals, following the lead of states like Arizona, which recently passed the nation’s strictest food additive ban.
Perhaps Malhotra’s most radical proposal is his push to overhaul medical education, shifting the focus from pharmaceuticals to nutrition. “Most doctors don’t have a clue,” he said, echoing MAHA ally Dr. Casey Means, who has criticized medical schools for neglecting dietary science.
With 40% of seniors taking five or more prescription drugs, Malhotra sees an urgent need to break what he calls the “pill-pushing paradigm.” His solution? Mandatory nutrition training for doctors—a move he believes could reverse America’s chronic disease crisis.
Malhotra’s agenda is bold, but the road won’t be easy. Vaccine mandates, Big Food lobbyists, and entrenched medical interests stand in his way. Yet with MAHA’s grassroots momentum and allies like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, he’s ready for battle.
“I’m going to hit the ground running,” he vowed. For millions of Americans disillusioned with the status quo, that can’t come soon enough.
