Doctors in the UK are threatening to sue the country’s medical regulator over its refusal to investigate a high-profile cardiologist who claims COVID-19 vaccines have led to an increase in coronary disease and death.  

The small group of anonymous doctors have joined forces with social justice advocacy group Good Law Project to lobby the General Medical Council (GMC) to investigate doctors who share vaccine misinformation on social media.

They say they have remained anonymous to prevent personal abuse.

Currently in their sights is Dr Aseem Malhotra, a cardiologist who has amassed over half a million followers on Twitter and is pushing for the suspension of mRNA vaccines pending an inquiry, after blaming the vaccines for his father’s death.
