The modern pharmaceutical industry has in many ways proved itself a great benefit to mankind, making health- and life-saving drugs and vaccines widely available. But its reputation has come under attack in the wake of America’s opioid epidemic and the COVID pandemic. This fourth and final CCA of the 2022-23 academic year will consider the rise of Big Pharma, its role in the declining state of American health, and ideas for reform.
Professor Dalgleish is Professor of Oncology at St George’s University of London, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of the UK and Australia, the Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Royal College of Pathologists. He is co-discoverer of the fact that HIV uses CD4 as a cell receptor in humans. As an oncologist, his main focus has been on developing immunotherapies to treat cancer.
Put simply, Gus knows his stuff.
As mentioned in my previous post, he recently wrote an open letter to the Editor-in-Chief of the BMJ, Dr Kamran Abbasi, calling for a halt to the Covid vaccination program. He has good reason to demand this, as he explains in our conversation.
This is an excellent interview for understanding what oncologists like Professor Dalgleish are seeing, both in their patients and in family and friends. We also discuss:
The role of cheap, established and generic medicines in treating cancer, and how these are being suppressed
How people who have been in remission for years are now starting to relapse after receiving a Covid-19 booster - and why this is happening
How Professor Dalgleish’s previous HIV research informed his understanding that the Covid-19 vaccines were going to cause clotting and neurological issues
That he and his colleague raised the alarm, submitting their findings to the UK Cabinet, yet with no appropriate action taken.
I found this conversation fascinating and could have listened to Gus for at least another hour more. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
