I'm truly fed up of seeing journalists telling all & sundry to get vaccinated. It's not just inappropriate & irresponsible; it's dangerous. They should also stop criticising those who decline Covid vaccination or are hesitant. Our job is to present facts, not give medical advice!
Germany's health minister, Karl Lauterbach, says it's safer to sit at a table with a vaccinated person than with an unvaccinated person & he's pushing for colour-coded vaccine certificates to distinguish the "freshly vaccinated" from other people. This madness needs to stop now.

Please do some research. There's plenty of evidence that Fauci misled people to a horrendous degree. I've written numerous (lengthy & detailed) articles about all this. They're on my website (you can type gain-of-function in the search box). Here's one:
@JamesClayton5
1/2 What an utterly wasted opportunity, for you and for journalism, but not for
@elonmusk
, who showed you up big-time, not least when you spoke about "Covid misinformation", something the BBC has been very masterful at.
@DrAseemMalhotra
Anyone who is high-profile and stays silent because of fear, knowing very well that if they spoke out they could make a difference, is complicit in the harm that continues to be caused.
@ERICSORENSEN
@RoseanneAre
@elonmusk
@Tesla
@UAW
@chevrolet
You support Fauci in what exactly? It's become clear that while Fauci & other scientists publicly supported (even pushed) the zoonosis hypothesis they, in private, expressed serious concerns that SARS-CoV-2 could have had a lab origin. Fauci misled people to a horrendous degree.

You're saying Substack links were never blocked. Yes, I can post links to my Substack articles, but people cannot like, retweet, or comment on them & are warned that the links could be unsafe, even malicious, & might contain violent content. Not much better than a full block!
@guardian
@NicolaKSDavis
It's highly ironic that, in the Twitter bio for
@guardian
, it's stated: "The need for independent journalism has never been greater." Very true; but this appalling hatchet job on
@DrAseemMalhotra
is NOT even journalism, let alone independent.
@CaldronPool
I can of course not speak for everyone who declines Covid vaccination, but, in my case, it is a valid & carefully thought-out decision based primarily on a benefit-risk assessment. You guys on TV have no right whatsoever to lecture & patronise others about such decisions.
@TheDigitalBers1
People keep saying the above is the new release, but I've had this document for a good while, and reported about it in my (massive) tome about Covid vaccination (in the section entitled 'Pfizer documents'). 10,000 pages are due to be released today.
@JamesClayton5
@elonmusk
2/2 Before Elon Musk took over Twitter I was punished for tweeting VAERS data about reports of adverse events after Covid vaccination (I wasn't making claims about the data, I was just tweeting it). Now I'm able to tweet Covid vaccine injury data; that's an improvement!
@MikeSington
The fact that you start with the tired old expression "anti-vaxxers" weakens anything else you might have to say, and I don't mean to be rude but your "I'm fine" remark has a bit of a "so there" feel to it, and indicates a lack of compassion for those who have not been so lucky.
It's infuriating that, if I wish to fly to France, I, as a non-vaccinated person, will have to undergo a Covid test whereas my fellow passengers who are vaccinated, who can also be infected by, & spread, SARS-CoV-2, will not need to be tested. Let's follow the science, eh!
@ComeGetYourCat
Yes, too many people have died from Covid-19, but denying that deaths have also been caused by Covid vaccination helps no one and is a massive insult to those who have died or lost loved-ones as a result of Covid vaccination. All deaths matter!
@themrsthanos
@MaggieDammit
@StephenKing
How patronising! As an independent journalist I survive on a shoestring. Social media is a vital part of my work. There shouldn't be a charge for Twitter verification. I don't have Netflix by the way. Can't afford it & am too busy working to watch it!
@eltonofficial
Under the previous regime at Twitter I was punished for citing official government data about adverse events reported after Covid vaccination. I can now tweet about that data. I guess you would consider this data to be "misinformation" (because you don't want to hear about it.)
@guardian
The Guardian &
@NicolaKSDavis
should be ashamed of this atrocious article, which is a blatant attack on Malhotra & is itself misleading & inaccurate. Malhotra didn't 'hijack' the BBC interview. The Guardian has gone for the jugular & has again made clear how utterly biased it is.
In the Twitter bio for
@guardian
, it's stated: "The need for independent journalism has never been greater." True; but this kind of journalism isn't coming from The Guardian. I've just read the appalling hatchet job
@NicolaKSDavis
did on
@DrAseemMalhotra
. This is NOT journalism.
@elonmusk
@BretWeinstein
You've decided to punish Substack
@elonmusk
, but you're actually hindering & harming independent journalists like myself. So much for you saying that you want to promote good content/real journalism!
@nadhimzahawi
@THORPEPARK
Heavens; I can't believe you think this is OK, and are even encouraging it. Vaccination "in between queuing for rides". This is insane!
@theysayitsrare
I haven't had this confirmed but someone told me that this has been diagnosed as erythema multiforme. The French authorities have declared a safety signal for this reaction and the European Medicines Agency has also raised the alert about it.
@BreesAnna
This is an absolutely disgraceful article, not only because of its awful basic premise, but also because it is based on a total misunderstanding of Covid vaccination (the belief that the vaccinated cannot be infected by, or spread, SARS-CoV-2). It's just pure propaganda.
@hugh_mankind
@DrAseemMalhotra
People have the right to be, & to label themselves as, anti-vax if they wish, but the use of the term as a derogatory insult is indeed divisive & does need to stop. The term is thrown around all over the place, & this (ridiculously) includes flinging it at the vaccine injured.
@Storiesofinjury
The Guardian just had to put the word rare in the headline AND the first paragraph. And then speaks of "the small group of people who had a severe reaction to the jab". No surprise there. :-(
@rachelschraer
1/2 The "get vaccinated for others" message WAS a lie and it was one that was pushed heavily and outrageously by politicians and the media. It caused untold damage. I was viciously abused when, as a journalist, I pointed out that these vaccines didn't stop transmission.
@hibbsy1973
@beverleyturner
@georgegrylls
@thetimes
@VIBUK1
The words 'antivaxer(s)' or 'antivax' are used 5 times in the first 9 paragraphs of this article & of course in the headline. Grylls then throws in the expression 'conspiracy theorists' & some serious misquoting. This is atrociously biased, utterly misleading, dangerous rubbish.
@Dr_Bry_So_Fly
There are 2,216 reports of blindness after Covid vaccination listed on the adverse event database in the US and 3,742 are listed on the WHO's VigiBase (148,664 eye disorders in total). Transient and unilateral blindness are listed separately.
@Never_Again_UK_
No, he is not "dropping truth bombs". He is totally wrong about the ICJ case and is now on the wrong side of history. Israel has clear genocidal intent & counsel for South Africa proved this in their presentations at the ICJ. Israel HAS violated the Genocide Convention in Gaza.
@ichandrakant
@AneeshaBedi
@rohini_sgh
Again today I am seeing a journalist being told how to phrase something, and being told she she is fearmongering. Our job as journalists is to report facts, which
@AneeshaBedi
was doing, not to tell people something we don't know to be true (that 37 doctors are safe)!
@VigilantFox
It's extraordinary the way Bancel is throwing out these (impossible to verify) figures about the number of lives he says have been saved and the number of hospitalisations he says have been prevented.
@Khairykj
@IsmailSabri60
Why this discrimination against the non-vaccinated? It has no basis in science. Both the vaccinated and non-vaccinated can be infected by, and spread, SARS-CoV-2. When will governments finally accept this reality and stop treating the vaccinated and non-vaccinated differently?
@CharlotteEmmaUK
The facts didn't change, Piers Morgan. You simply believed the lies and didn't bother to try and find out what the truth actually was. The truth has always been there, but most people refused to seek it out, and even denied it when it was shown to them.
@Shar4Music
@DrEricDing
I've never resorted to swearing or insulting people on here (I just block when need be), but I just nearly lost it with a Covid denier who was questioning whether the Covid deaths reported in Delhi were really deaths from Covid. Flippin' heck! (And that's putting it very mildly.)
@Triag777
@TheDigitalBers1
Yes, people keep saying this is the new release, but I've had this document for a good while, and reported about it in my (massive) tome about Covid vaccination (in the section entitled 'Pfizer documents'). 10,000 pages are due to be released today.
@the_meghaning
Have you watched the documentary? I don't like some of the early part, but am now listening to what the embalmers are saying. It's shocking & must be taken seriously. These guys are not 'conspiracy nuts'; they are professionals who are extremely troubled by what they are seeing.
I wish journalists would stop using the words "clash" & "skirmish" for incidents where it is clear that 1 person or group has attacked an individual or group, e.g. when
@IzzyKamikaze
was bashed on the head with a lump of wood on Saturday. That was not a clash. It was an assault.
@BruceDGilley
I don't know who you think you are taking this arrogant attitude. After being invited to to Malaysia, you keep insulting the country. What response did you expect? Malaysia has spoken out about the occupation of Palestine and the genocide in Gaza, which is facilitated by the US.
@BoyGeorge
None of this is "quite funny". People have valid, genuine reasons for deciding to decline Covid vaccination. In my case anyway, it's not about being scared; it's about weighing up the risk vs benefit & making a choice. It's sad that you're taking such a dodgy line (pun intended).
@AlexBerenson
Heavens, why are you insulting someone who is talking about the suffering of his patient? And dismissing vaccine injury like this. You have a very large following. This seems to me to be a very damaging thing to be doing.
@rachelschraer
2/2 Huge numbers of people got vaccinated because of this lie & many of them are now vaccine injured. The non-vaccinated were segregated & insulted, & their movements & activities were restricted. Many of them lost their jobs. The disgrace that this is should not be played down!
@RWMaloneMD
The MHRA in the UK lists 13,505 reports of adverse reactions (to the AZ-Oxford vaccine) related to menstruation and uterine bleeding, including 4,027 reports of heavy menstrual bleeding, 2,785 cases of delayed menstruation, and 1,861 cases of irregular menstruation.
@mehdirhasan
1/2 There's so much wrong with this tweet. Do you really think boosters are the answer to the current situation? They aren't! Knowing whether there was a lab leak is hugely important, not least given the serious dangers of gain-of-function research.
@EdKrassen
@elonmusk
@StationCDRKelly
It has become clear that while Fauci and other scientists publicly supported (even pushed) the zoonosis hypothesis they, in private, expressed serious concerns that SARS-CoV-2 could have had a laboratory origin.
@MakisMD
My brother was given two Pfizer vaccinations during his treatment for lung cancer. (He also had severe inflammation from arthritis). I suspect that the vaccinations had a seriously negative effect, but will of course never be able to prove that. He died 5 months ago.
@3salmon
@ComeGetYourCat
People keep saying that X number of lives have been saved by Covid vaccination. There is no actual evidence for their statements. And we have no real idea how many people have died or been severely injured by Covid vaccination; the reported numbers are serious underestimates.
@FreedomWorld_
One of the people who really shocked and disappointed me with his attitude towards the non-vaccinated is Noam Chomsky. I can still hardly believe he said what he did!
@eileeniorio
@SimonHarrisTD
I wondered how long it would take for Simon Harris to reap benefit from Emma Mhic Mhathúna’s death. Just a few hours! Shameful! Utterly shameful!
@katystoll
I am one of very few journalists who report about adverse reactions to Covid vaccination. I update the statistics in the attached tome every week and have included a lot of data about affects on menstruation.
@Storiesofinjury
Their attitude clearly is: "We'll report on this because we need to as it's an actual coroner's ruling, but we'll play the whole thing down as much as possible and continue to promote our message that Covid vaccination is safe & effective & injuries & deaths are rare."
@florian_krammer
Why are you misleading people, telling them that they will not get infected with SARS-CoV-2 if they are vaccinated? This is quite simply untrue and you must surely know that.
@cbouzy
It really is not a good look to mock concern about vaccine injury. It's disrespectful to those who have been injured or have died because of these vaccines. You may think you are being smart. You aren't.
@BreesAnna
This is a shocking tweet. A journalist myself (of 45 years' standing), I'm perfectly capable of deciding what to share. It's not for you to tell people what to share & what not to share (not least if they're personally affected), with the aim of channelling info to your "team".
@matthaig1
I truly cannot grasp the logic of keeping schools open in a so-called lockdown. Here in India we are in 'Unlock 5', but the schools are still closed.
@Selena_Tuohy
@JamesMelville
I have no respect for Piers Morgan whatsoever. Instead of simply apologising to the non-vaccinated, he's making excuses. It was known from the start that these vaccines didn't prevent virus transmission. It was politicians and the mainstream media who were saying that they did.
@leilaltka22
@mrjamesob
Yes, my brother's lung cancer may well have been diagnosed earlier if there hadn't been lockdowns and it may not have been fatal.
I see that
@PeterDaszak
has blocked me. It's very telling that he blocks journalists writing seriously about the possible lab origin of SARS-CoV-2. No openness to truly valid comment or proper questioning whatsoever!
VAERS now lists 1,476,227 reports of adverse reactions after Covid vaccination. The statistics were updated on VAERS on December 9 and relate to reports up to December 2. Here's a link to my Substack article:
@Snowden
Yes, I was mocked and even insulted for writing about the possible lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 when it was a much less accepted hypothesis (back in 2020, and even in 2021).
@kevinnbass
I was thrown out of the Journo Answers Facebook group in 2021 when I argued against the censorship of those of us who were writing about Covid vaccine injury (when this really was taboo). Some very nasty abuse was hurled at me and I'm pretty sure no one will ever apologise.
@aziz0nomics
This isn't a war; it's an outright assault on Palestinians by a country with a huge military capacity. I don't think we should be comparing this with deaths & destruction in actual wars. I'd say we need, as the lawyers did today, to be making reference to previous genocides.
@mehdirhasan
2/2 Re. the lab leak hypothesis: I'd challenge your claim that "most scientists/studies say otherwise". I for one am not whining; I investigate. It's what journalists are supposed to do! Being concerned that there may have been a lab leak doesn't = not caring about Covid deaths.
@theysayitsrare
The TGA in Australia has raised the alert about erythema multiforme too, but in relation to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The product information had been updated to include erythema multiforme as a potential adverse reaction, the TGA said.
@DrAseemMalhotra
What these people said was hateful; inexcusable. We non-vaccinated have been treated abominably. Public figures have a responsibility to stand up to indoctrination. It's a disgrace that so many gave into it and turned against people like myself in the way that they did.
@jonbingnj
It would be great if people stopped generalising like this. There are many people who have declined these Covid vaccines who have received other vaccines, for example. I imagine that you are just referring to people who decline Covid vaccination.
@BreesAnna
It's abhorrent that supposedly professional journalists are being paid to write dangerous, divisive rubbish like this. I work hard day in & day out to push out the facts about Covid-19 & SARS-CoV-2 (mostly for no pay) while
@_SeanOGrady
spouts propaganda. It's truly sickening!
@BDUTT
Vaccination should never be mandatory. Are you not aware that those who are vaccinated can still be infected by, and spread, SARS-CoV-2. Are you not aware of the hundreds of thousands of reported adverse reactions after Covid vaccination, including deaths?
@annmforti
@dystopian_DU
@DrJBhattacharya
@PeterHotez
@amymaxmen
@BrianneDressen
There's also been terrible self-censorship among journalists. I was thrown out of a journalists' Facebook group for arguing against the censorship of those of us who were reporting about Covid vaccine injury. There were some very vicious insults from some other journalists.
@Bennyjj81
@ABridgen
Have you listened to that excerpt Ben? If you have and think that Elon Musk comes out of that as a nut job, I hardly know what to say. Musk showed James Clayton up big-time.
@JamieBr42938238
@DrJamesOlsson
Yes Jamie. I am myself researching the matter of Covid vaccination and cancer, but I find this tweet abhorrent. Pele died only yesterday & was loved by so many people around the world. This is a moment for honouring him & grieving. I am shocked by so many of the comments here.

Yes, sleep as much as you can and need to. Just take it a single step at a time; do only what is absolutely essential, then rest. Make sure you are getting enough to eat, even if only take-aways. Seek out the help of friends.
VAERS now lists more than 1.47 million reports of adverse reactions after Covid vaccination. The statistics were updated on December 2. Here's a link to my Substack article:
