Leading Cardiologist Writes to the General Medical Council Calling For an Investigation Into Unprecedented Covid Vaccine Harms
Dr Dean Patterson
Last week, Dr Dean Patterson wrote to the Chair of the Executive Board of the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK, supporting Dr Aseem Malhotra’s calls for an investigation into unprecedented harms from the Covid-19 vaccines.
Dr Patterson became a Specialist Registrar in Dundee in 1997 where he specialised in cardiovascular research. He went on to become the Research Fellow and Cardiology Registrar at the Hypertension research unit and Coronary care unit at Dundee University.
In 2003, he became the clinical lecturer in cardiovascular medicine at Tayside University Hospital, Dundee, where he trained in cardiovascular medicine and the assessment of acute vascular referrals. He is a member of the British Cardiovascular Society, British Echocardiography Society and the British Medical Association.
In 2010 he further specialised in the reporting of CT coronary angiography. He now works in Guernsey where he is involved in non-invasive cardiovascular stress testing.
Dr Patterson published his letter on Dr Malhotra’s website where he began by expressing his support for him. He says that Dr Malhotra has been attacked for his stance on Covid vaccines by a group of medical professionals “who appear dedicated to reducing science and medical practice to an echo chamber”.
His letter then describes some of the adverse reactions he has seen since the vaccine rollout.
In my personal experience, the COVID-19 vaccine has caused me intolerable concern for patient safety here in Guernsey. In my 33 years of medical practice, I have never witnessed such harm from a therapeutic intervention. I lost a female patient due to myocarditis aged 42 in 2021. A 63-year-fit woman died from myocarditis 1 month after her booster vaccine in 2022 after getting breathless within 1 week of the injection.
In addition, I personally cared for a 20-year-old male with severe myocarditis which developed within 24 hours of his second Pfizer vaccine. In the first year of the rollout, I diagnosed 20 patients with myocarditis and 15 cases of pericarditis, including one death (42-year-old) and another who required an ICD (79-year-old male). In the 16 years prior to this, I would on average diagnose 2-3 myocarditis cases per year, with serious cases being limited to 1 every 3-4 years.
The UK ONS data for England and Wales shows 250 hospital admissions for myocarditis over 10 years. This equates to 2 per 10 years for Guernsey. In the first year of the rollout, we had 10 hospital admissions for myocarditis. In the second year of vaccine rollout, I have seen another 18 myocarditis cases, including the death of the 63-year-old woman listed above.
In addition, I have noticed an increase in the number of heart failure and acute myocardial infarction cases. I am currently auditing the ambulatory ECG data as I believe there has been an increase in arrhythmia burden. Incredibly, the side effects don’t stop there, as we have seen a doubling of the stroke numbers recently with an increase in overall thrombo-embolic disease since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines.
He believes that the medical establishment appears to be blind to the harm and is concerned that medical practice itself will be irreparable damaged by the fallout from the mishandling of the Covid vaccine side effects.
While the GMC is mandated to protect patients and regulate doctors, currently the GMC finds itself in a regulatory vacuum where it, like many mainstream doctors, is unable to openly support what should be an urgent independent investigation into COVID vaccine safety.
Dr Patterson believes this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Healthcare professionals are quite poor at reporting yellow card cases, while the NHS doctors are overburdened and unlikely to spend 30-45 minutes submitting a yellow card incident. This is particularly the case when the same doctors have been indoctrinated with the statement that the covid vaccines are safe and effective, while the evidence for this safety and effectiveness from double blind placebo controlled studies is extremely weak.
He believes that the evidence for Covid 19 infections causing myocarditis is flawed.
Cardiologists in the main, continue to blame Covid 19 infection as the cause for the harms I am seeing, however I have not diagnosed a single case of post covid19 myocarditis prior to the vaccine rollout in Guernsey. The UK government website from 2021 to date, states that covid causes myocarditis. One study they use as evidence by Buckley et al concluded that myocarditis had a prevalence of 5% in covid patients.
This study used data from the USA EMR records, which is poisoned by the flow of money. It is well documented that hospitals in the USA were paid $37000 if a patient with covid was admitted to ICU. ICU admissions would be promoted in patients with “multi-system involvement”. A rise in troponin however insignificant would be the rationale for diagnosing myocarditis and the accompanying $37000 payment when the patient was admitted to ICU.
It is well known within the cardiologist circle pre covid, that patients with sepsis often have a rise in troponin and the rise is proportional to age and co- morbidities and not indicative of myocarditis or a heart attack. In 2020 Guernsey had 20000 covid cases, which according to the paper by Buckley et al would lead to 1000 cases of myocarditis, but I have not diagnosed a single case of myocarditis prior to the vaccine rollout.
To support whistleblowers, he wants the following things in place:
A working group to investigate the Covid 19 vaccine safety;
A helpline to support doctors afraid of speaking out;
A helpline to support those who are vaccine injured;
A panel should be established to open discussion and reporting the above strategy in the media, in a calm unbiased manner to avoid undue stress on the general population and the healthcare system.
Dr Patterson finishes his letter by saying that many doctors and professionals will openly endorse his views but “sadly there are a silent majority who will only endorse [his] view quietly in private conversation”.
Unfortunately Medicine finds itself standing at crossroads. There are significant seeds of division. The question for you is therefore; Are you going to heal these wounds or empower the irreversible split of healthcare that beckons in an increasingly uncertain future?
The tide is turning and people are becoming more and more emboldened to speak out about what happened to them after their jabs. Even articles on Yahoo are full of stories in the top comments.
The dam is breaking.
Well done for speaking out Dr Patterson. This information & copies of the letter should be widely spread to give other, aware & fully informed healthcare professionals the courage to speak out about the adverse cardiac reactions occurring as a direct result of COVID vaccination. There is strength in numbers & they can’t get rid of you all for telling the truth.
It is interesting to note that the Island of Guernsey, where Dr Patterson practices, is independent of the NHS,
