Beating Heart Disease: Dr. Aseem Malhotra on What Doctors Don’t Tell You

Dr. Aseem Malhotra is a world-renowned British cardiologist and a best-selling author of several books. After losing his father to a heart attack after taking the COVID-19 vaccine, Dr. Malhotra began speaking out about the corporatization of medicine, and how it’s making us sicker.

“We have well over 60 percent of the adult population now overweight or obese. I would take it further and say that 88 percent of Americans have abnormal metabolic health markers,” he says. “The benefit of a statin over a five-year period based upon their trial data shows that there’s a one in 39 chance it'll prevent you having a further heart attack, and one in 83 chance it will delay your death or save your life. Patients are not told that.”

We sat down together to discuss his new film, “First! Do no Pharm,” which examines many factors contributing to the West’s chronic disease epidemic.

“There is a false perception out there that medicine is an exact science, like, say, physics or chemistry, when, in fact, it is a social science—the science of human beings. It’s constantly evolving,“ he says. ”You spend $4.3 trillion on health care—highest health expenditure in the Western world—with the worst health outcomes. So, why is that?”
