GB News presenter Neil Oliver has been cleared of wrongdoing by Ofcom following remarks he made about so-called “turbo cancers” appearing to be more frequent in younger people since the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccines.

The broadcast regulator found Mr. Oliver did not materially mislead the audience when he referred to the number of young people with accelerated forms of cancer in his show broadcast on Jan. 13 this year.

The watchdog said: “In line with freedom of expression, our rules allow broadcasters to cover controversial themes and topics. We recognise that these brief comments were the presenter’s personal view and did not materially mislead the audience, we therefore will not be pursuing this further.”

The broadcast in question saw Mr. Oliver discuss Pfizer’s recent $43 billion acquisition of Seagen, a biotechnology company with a focus on cancer treatments.

He said, “While young people drop dead and otherwise healthy people of all ages are harvested in hitherto unheard of numbers by heart disease and turbo cancer, our old friend Pfizer has been spending some of its recently acquired massive wealth buying companies that develop drugs to treat heart disease and turbo cancer.”

“I don’t know about you, but until just a few months ago, I’d never heard of turbo cancer … Fuel injected, maybe with a bottle of nitrous oxide on the side for the sudden terrifying burst of speed across the line to unexpected death.”

Mr. Oliver was echoing the views of a number of highly qualified medical professionals who have linked the rising number of cancer cases in younger people—particularly fast-acting or “turbo” cancers, as they have been termed—and relapsed cancers following a jab, often a “booster” shot, in patients who were previously doing well.

Oncologist Cites Numerous Studies

Oncologist Professor Angus Dalgleish, who works at St. George’s Hospital, London, has raised concerns about the apparent phenomenon, writing that there are numerous reports in the literature of cancers arising within days of the vaccines being administered, particularly lymphomas and leukemia.

In a piece initially published in TCW and then in The Epoch Times, Mr. Dalgleish wrote: “There are several reports of PET scan-mapped tumors exploding at the site and draining area of COVID-19 injections with the advice to inject COVID-19 vaccines away from known cancers!

“Outside my clinical observations, several friends have developed cancer after a totally unnecessary COVID-19 booster taken only to facilitate travel.”

“For a possible association between a booster vaccine and the appearance of cancer, we need a plausible scientific causal explanation. Unfortunately for those who still insist that these cases are mere coincidences, there are several compelling ones to choose from.”

It has been reported that T-cell responses are suppressed after the boosters—but not the first two injections—and that this is especially marked in some cancer patients, Mr. Dalgleish said, going on to explain how further boosters may alter the body’s antibody repertoire, as reported in a recent Science Immunology paper.

Referencing another report by Loacker et al. in Clin Chem Lab Med, he claimed that, “Taken together, the effect on the immune response of these boosters can easily explain the relapses and so-called turbo-charged cancers appearing.”

Known to many TV viewers as “the coast guy,” Mr. Oliver worked as a TV archaeologist best known for presenting BBC documentaries including “A History of Scotland,” “Vikings,” and “Coast,” until his more recent role as a “narrative questioner” on GB news.

He is also an author of popular history books and historical fiction and was president of the National Trust for Scotland from 2017 to 2020.

Passionate Monologues

Mr. Oliver found a new audience with his passionate monologues opposing state encroachment onto civil liberties, free speech, and bodily autonomy during the lockdown and vaccine rollout period and beyond. He has been a frequent critic of the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organisation (WHO), calling the WHO’s largest donor, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, a “textbook example of the danger posed by rich and powerful people utterly devoid of empathy or care for individual human life.”

He has labelled lockdown measures “the biggest mistake in world history,” and in common with the majority of British parents, he would not allow his children to be injected with the COVID-19 jabs.

Mr. Oliver left the advisory board of the pro-UK campaign group These Islands over his outspoken views on the government restrictions.

Last year, he used one of his monologues to discuss a “silent war” being waged by politicians to take “total control of the people” and impose a “one-world government.”

He is followed by almost 400,000 people on Twitter and hosts a weekly current affairs and interview programme on GB News having joined the channel in June 2021.

The channel has been criticised, along with other broadcasters, for allowing serving and former politicians to host news shows.

Ofcom has previously ruled the channel broke broadcasting guidelines following claims made about excess deaths and COVID-19 jabs in an episode of Mark Steyn’s programme in October 2022 after it received 411 complaints over comments made by author and academic Dr. Naomi Wolf. Mr. Steyn parted company with the channel following contract negotiations and now hosts an independent online show.

The Epoch Times contacted Mr. Oliver for comment.
