Dr. Aseem Malhotra

He's exploiting people for his own agenda.

He's trying to make money off all nonsense.

And that was so relentless.

That they then, um, I, in 2018, I got an, an email from the, the new chair of the Royal colleges saying that the campaign that I had started or was that they had took on and instigated that I was no longer part of that because of, of, of stuff that I apparently said publicly on statins, even though everything in the newspapers that was written about stands for me was coming from medical journals and I was very strong advocate for informed consent.

But again, don't confuse me with the facts.

My mind is made up.

Well, exactly.

so this is what they do and of course it does have his personal toll and then it culminated coming back to where we started is that because we were having an effect mark and of course you're absolutely doing the same thing one of my inspirations right revolutionaries Mahatma Gandhi and one of his quotes which I love is you know and he took on the system I mean he got British colonialists out of India I mean it almost single-handedly and he says first they ignore you I think Britain was bigger than the pharma companies you know

It was.

Absolutely.

I mean, America was founded on anti-corporate sentiment, taking on the British East India Company, right?

It was a big corporate tyrannical system.

And now we've come back to the same problem right now.

But what he said was, first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you.

then you win.

Yeah.

So when you're getting attacked, you're getting, you're over the target and you're closing to, you're getting closer to winning, but you have to, it's, it's tough.

yeah absolutely so my interest in this came from really looking at the initially the obesity epidemic so 2004 who announced it as an epidemic you know by 2010 i was in nine years qualified as a doctor i was specialist registrar in my cardiology training um i was seeing more people this viscerally i'm very sensitive to

how to put it, suffering around me, if you like, but also seeing my colleagues under more stress in the system.

And I was like, hold on a minute.
