Doc Malik Speaking to Prof Jay Bhattacharya & Dr Aseem Malhotra

On 21st June 2022, I attended a meeting in London where I listened to Prof Jay Bhattacharya & Dr Aseem Malhotra talk about the Plandemic. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed.

I didn't have a social media presence like I do now.

Jay and Aseem promoted the notion that the pandemic was real and that the response was from good people who made honest mistakes.

I found this incredibly hard to swallow. What do you think?

Sometimes, I look at my life now and wonder if I’m living in a surreal, dystopian movie I never chose to act in. How did I, an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon, end up hosting an international podcast, talking to an audience of thousands of people weekly about everything from health to economics and our fractured society? And talking to fascinating guests, renowned names like Robert Malone, Mike Yeadon, Sasha Latypova, JJ Couey, Andrew Wakefield, Sarah Myhill, and James Delingpole. Why are they speaking to me, and how did we even cross paths? It’s a question I ask myself daily.

If someone had told me back in December 2019 that this would be my life, I would’ve laughed them out of the room. Yet here I am. The world I knew, structured, logical, predictable, seems long gone, replaced by something darker, chaotic, and deeply unjust.

Recently, President-elect Donald Trump nominated Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to head the NIH, the agency overseeing biomedical research in the U.S. For context, that’s the organisation under which the infamous NIAID sits, the division previously led by Anthony Fauci. Had Fauci not retired, Jay would have been his boss. It’s a huge role and a fascinating turn in Jay’s journey.

In recent years, Jay has become widely known as one of three authors who created the Great Barrington Declaration. The others are Dr Sunetra Gupta (professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford) and Dr Martin Kulldorff (Biostatistician and Epidemiologist formerly at Harvard Medical School and expert in vaccine safety, infectious disease outbreaks and statistical methods for public health).

But we will come back to the Great Barrington Declaration in a second. Jay holds an MD from Stanford University School of Medicine and is also a professor of health policy at Stanford. In addition to his medical degree, he has a PhD in economics, which he has used to focus on health economics, public health policy, and the social determinants of health. I understand that Jay is not a practising physician and may not have done any clinical work post-graduation, as I can see from his CV. He graduated from medical school a year before me in 1997 and went on to do a PhD, which he obtained in 2000. A review of his CV (see here) reveals a career in academia and public health.

The Great Barrington Declaration advocated for “focused protection” during the COVID-19 plandemic. It suggested protecting the most vulnerable populations (such as the elderly and those with preexisting conditions) while allowing the rest of society, particularly younger and healthier individuals, to continue normal activities to build herd immunity. I will be honest and admit I signed it believing it was infinitely better than lockdowns or mass vaccination campaigns. But now, with the benefit of hindsight, I see its limitations. It promotes the idea of deadly pandemics, which I do not subscribe to anymore and it didn’t address the deeper rot in the system or challenge the underlying narratives that justified draconian policies.

I first encountered Jay in person, so to speak, at a public meeting in June 2022. He and Dr Aseem Malhotra were the headline speakers. At the time, I wasn’t a podcaster, had no real platform, and was just beginning to piece together the scale of deception surrounding COVID. I knew instinctively that we were being lied to on a massive scale, that the mRNA shots were experimental and unethical, and that my own profession had failed spectacularly to stand up for patients.

Listening to Jay and Aseem that night, I felt frustrated. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve done and continue to do good work. But their perspective didn’t align with what I was beginning to understand. They seemed to frame the pandemic response as a series of “mistakes” born of incompetence or corporate greed. That didn’t sit right with me then, and it certainly doesn’t now.

Mistakes weren’t made. Crimes were committed.

Margaret Anna Alice’s poem Mistakes Were Not Made captures this perfectly. It wasn’t just bungling bureaucracy or mismanagement. It was calculated, coordinated, and, in many cases, outright criminal. Where was the outrage about the gross violations of medical ethics, the lack of informed consent, the coerced jabs, and the people who lost their livelihoods for refusing an experimental gene therapy?

Jay speaks of truth and reconciliation, even suggesting a morbidity and mortality review, which is a standard medical process where complications and errors are analysed in a department (usually monthly) to learn and improve. But the last four years weren’t about innocent mistakes. They were about criminality, corruption, negligence, and deliberate harm. Before we talk reconciliation, we need justice. Those who orchestrated and benefited from this chaos must be held accountable.

I respect what Jay and others like him are trying to do. But we can’t ignore the deeper, darker truths. The systems we once trusted, healthcare, government, regulatory bodies, are riddled with corruption. The pandemic didn’t create these problems; it exposed them.

The recent podcast with Drs Jack Kruse and Mary Bowden with Calley Means left me so frustrated. Why is it so hard for people like Calley to simply admit that the mRNA shots are a disaster and need to be stopped immediately? As Mary and Jack explain, there is NO shortage of data. But I have yet to hear any person in authority or people like Jay state that these shots needed to be stopped yesterday.

Jay talks about truth and reconciliation, but we haven’t even stopped the evil. Babies in America are still recommended to get these mRNA shots. A supporter at a hospital in the UK messaged me today with the following:

And so here I am, scratching my head daily at the strange turns my life has taken. What started as a personal journey to make sense of the madness has connected me with incredible people, some who give me hope, others who remind me of the work still to be done. Jay’s nomination is an interesting move in a long and complicated story. Whether it leads to change or simply becomes another chapter of frustration remains to be seen. So far, the signals from Jay are concerning; see a recent substack post by Dr James Hill here.

What I do know is this: We need justice before healing. Without accountability, we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes or, worse, the same crimes.

Happy New Year my tribe.
