A Win

209 Replies

21st October 2024

Finally, the dust settles. Zoë and I won our case against the Mail on Sunday. The judgement came out a few weeks ago, but the legal wrangling continued – and still continues. The Mail on Sunday did print an apology. Legally, they do not have to print an apology, but they did, which says something.

There is still a statement in open court to come (SIOC). What is a statement in open court?

‘A statement in open court on settlement of action is an important mechanism for vindication for the claimant in, inter alia, libel proceedings and also for the correction of false and/or defamatory statements.’ 1    

It is a much longer thing, which lays out in more detail, what was wrong with the article, and may contain sections such as:

‘Mr Calman allowed the experts who had helped him to have “a very significant”, and “undue”, influence over the editorial process and the terms of the article. ‘

The SIOC has to be agreed by the judge, and this has not yet happened. Boy, do these things take ages. I have been sitting on my hands for months. I still am.

But some names are going to be named. We know who you are. The behind the scenes activity was quite outrageous. Eventually, all will be revealed. Because none of this is confidential anymore. The rock was lifted to see the creatures squirming in unaccustomed sunlight.

Revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

    I am so impressed at both you and Dr Zoe. Thank you for standing up for the truth, let’s hope naming the names will then bring any other shocking Pharma wrong-doings to light.

    I work natural health and every client that is on statins I tell them to read your book. You are saving lives.

    Brilliant man.

    Malcom delighted at this positive outcome. But all litigation is enormously stressful and you must at times have asked the question “why?”. Your courage and persistence have paid off and your honour and integrity have been vindicated. Hope the rest of the case resolves in your favour and maybe newspapers will think twice about commenting on medical affairs of which they have limited knowledge. Also I hope they pay you millions then you can retire and write more brilliant books

    Great news and well done both. I am very impressed.

    To take on these bast*ards has many implications for other aspects of your life so I sympathise greatly but also look forward to names being named.

    Our insignificant ‘little man’ part of society is sick to death of corruption, chicanery and lack of honesty in many institutions so it is brilliant to see your win.

    Best wishes.

    Congratulations Docs, I’m so sick of the persecution of every honest & courageous doctor, especially regarding Covid & the death shots. I’ve followed your revelations on Statins for years, and even stopped mine after 30 years of self-poisoning. Thank you, Niacin and honest Dr Kendrick.

    It says something about the credibility of the Mail, that they should quote one of the UK’s most prolific, and known, pathological liars. Namely the infamous Dr Death, Midazolam Matt Hancck. He has one thing in his favour, he introduced Euthanasia 3 years before it has become an option in the UK. Thousands of sons and daughters will be grateful, that he saved them the “burden” of caring for their aged parents. Plus, they were able to plan the thousands of funerals, as soon as they knew they were under the “care” of Midazolam Matt.

    Kind Regards,

    Neville Roberts

    Drs Harcombe and Kendrick’s work is much appreciated by me, the husband and 24/7 carer of my stroke-survivor wife. Any challenge to the reliance and focus on statins is good news for us. My wife was diagnosed by a Trust Rheumatologist with “statins-induced immune mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM)” in 2017. Our challenges fell on stony ground:

    • The Trust denied responsibility and said we would have been told about the possibility of damage, providing no documentary evidence. We weren’t told, My wife repeatedly asked “why are you giving me statins? My cholesterol level has throughout my life been fine.”
    • The Ombudsman said we were too late for them to take action, in our view, completely misunderstanding the stealthy nature of damage by statins, especially in patients, like us, who had no knowledge of the statins debate
    • A solicitor engaged to take the matter to court ultimately advised that they could not help as there was “less than 50% chance of success”

    The disease has returned in 2024 and my wife has had a 3rd stroke on September1st. She is weakening again, crippling her attempts to recover from the strokes.

    We’ve given up trying to get help with this disease which is untreatable, incurable and degenerative.

    Keep up the good work, doctors.

    I was overjoyed when you and Zoe won this case – despite the huge risks of taking on a powerful wealthy organisation who were clearly gunning for you, thank goodness justice prevailed. All doctors owe you a huge debt of thanks for helping to preserve evidence-based debate, individualised medicine, patient information, consent and autonomy.

    It’s good to hear that the malign individuals who could have gotten you sacked, sued or struck off are likely to be exposed. You are truly a hero of your profession and what you have achieved, both in your research/publications, and the legal ruling in your favour will benefit patient care for many years hence. THANK YOU!

    Those of us who have followed the case for 5½ years will be concerned that the stress you have endured will surely have taken its toll on your own health & wellbeing.

    Thank you for your extraordinary courage in making a stand for the truth, and for your tenacity. Well Done! Well Done indeed!

    I am overjoyed at this result for you both.

    I am still being coerced into taking statins, by being “spoken to” by the in-house GP pharmacist, they being tasked with the job of “educating me”. After 13 years of me declining statins, I think you would have thought the message would have got through by now.

    WELL DONE!

    Well done Malcolm. I await the open court statement with interest. I suspect that will be the real win, to expose those who wanted to ruin your career in order to protect their own position and agendas. I hope you get substantial compensation and those behind the scenes do to not get away free, at least they need exposing in the wider media. This could become a much bigger and far reaching story.

    Congratulations on the win. The sad thing is that while you were in court your voice was silenced. I hope the process goes better than it does in the states.

    In my case I wasn’t found not guilty, but innocent and a victim of fraud. That happened in April of last year. Then they kept bringing me to court and I didn’t actually get money until May of this year. It was found that I was defrauded of over $500,000 USD. The settlement was for $210,000 USD. After legal fees I ended up getting $145,000 USD. For the first time in over 40 years I’m living in an apartment because I can’t afford to buy a house.

    At least I finally have peace.

    Excellent news! Congratulations to you and Zoe for sticking to your guns. A real David and Goliath! But you must be exhausted … have a well deserved holiday!

    Another “personal success story”: I was put on statins four years ago at the age of 76. Starting dose was 40mg in spite of the fact that a) the patient information leaflet advises 5mg. and b) my weight is approx 7st 3lb. Argued with consultant who reduced it to 10mg. Three years later – very weird symptoms – not good. Wrote to GP quoting some of your work and that of others (Barbara H Roberts, Author of The Truth About Statins). Very agreeable letter back agreeing with me!!

    BTW: Has anybody wondered why dementia is on the increase – and the prescribing of statins? (Just a thought …)

    Well done!

    IF, one reads between the lines of THE Media ‘Apology’, it is ‘Written’ in such an ‘Angle’, that it could pass as WallPaper = ‘Acceptance’ of the Court rulings, IS NOT an apology! ‘Angles’, will include ‘Appealing to Common Folk’, who have thought That Their previous Personal – No matter the Scenario, ‘Court Appearances & Rulings’ in the Negative, were ‘Unfair’! Note, the ‘Laying Out’ of The CONplete Allegations – Incuding References to Govt ‘Health’ Secretary – For ‘Effect’! This IS Strategic Psychology! NOT an Unreserved Apology!= Typical MSM. Good luck on Yer ‘Win’ anyway. THE Rest, goes like this – Maybe.

Well, let’s see>

    Pernicious; Tending to cause Death or serious injury. Deadly./ Causing Great Harm. Destructive./ Quick, Swift (to burn).

    Lies; To speak Untruthfully, with INTENT to Trick, Deceive or MISlead./ To convey a False impression or practice Deception.

    SO > ‘Pernicious’ & ‘Lies’, from a Politician AND a Health ‘Secretary’ – IS one Sure We’re NOT Talking about the COVID ‘Exercise’ here??

    Last; When it comes to Statins @ Large (and apart from Big Pharma, ‘Lowering Benchmarks’, For Increased ‘Market share Demographics’ = AppaRentLie, it’s NOT about ‘Profits’ (Sic)), ‘EFFECTS’ (Read; NOTHING is EVER a ‘SIDE’ effect), include Renal & ‘Muscle Weakness’ issues- ON the Safety Data Sheets’ OR the Labels. ‘Muscle’ – What do folks think is Incorporated in their ‘Hearts’ (Including; Statins – May quicken your Heart beat = Oh Really! LOL!

    Better add in the Usual ‘Effect’ Ratio as Standard Medical/pHARMa Cabal ‘Information’ – ANY Drug/ Jab – Negative ‘Side’ Effects = RARE! ‘Endorsed’ (Rubber Stamped) By Pharma PETS/ NotMyGov @ NotWatchDogs

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! It has been a long time coming. But revenge? I would hope that forgiveness would prevail, especially when you forgive those who have hurt you and are now being punished by law. That is justice.

      Gabriella, we don’t know if anyone will be “punished by law”. As in so many other cases – a few of them documented in this very comments column – the damages awarded do not even compensate for the harm suffered. Courts have many ways of making their opinions felt.

    ‘Congratulations’ doesn’t seem the best thing to say, but I can say that I’m in awe of how you both fight for what is right despite the incredibly powerful forces at play. I can’t imagine the sleepless nights you’ve suffered, but I’m sure many are eternally grateful for you and I hope that helps.

    Hearty congratulations. Malcolm

    The win lifted me and obviously many others. Very useful result to enable others to see what shenanigans are going on in the background- shenanigans that are modern marketing techniques. I hav shared the bejazes out of this.Looking forward to the return of Dr KENDRICKS’s blogs.

    ‘Mr Calman allowed the experts who had helped him to have “a very significant”, and “undue”, influence over the editorial process and the terms of the article. ‘

    Shouldn’t the word “experts” be in quotes? If they were really expert, their advice would have been correct. But the whole point is that their advice was quite wrong.

    Many congratulations on the success so far, Malcolm.

    So far still to go in educating people. Just last month my GP tried to medicalise me with statins when I have the medical profile of a veteran athlete! Without you I’d probably have caved and worried myself to death.

      Gosh, so you actually got to meet a GP? In my last four visits to my local surgery I have not seen a GP. I am always seen by a “nurse practitioner” – to their credit, they always tell me up front that they are not qualified doctors, but (their words) “doctors on the cheap”.

      I did once get a 5-minute phone call from a doctor. (At least he said he was a doctor).

    Thank you for all your brilliant work – and bravery!
    Your writings have helped me (and thousands of others) so much.
    You are a true hero.

    well done;

    do the extent of damages awarded; reflect the ability of the guilty to pay? We understand Lord Rory and his mates have several hundred million quid in their warchest, buried in the shady cloisters of Oxford; hopefully in their generosity, they can hand some of that over .. ??

    An excellent result. Thank you for your perseverance and in having the courage to stand firm in the face f so much opposition. It is high time that the truth becomes common knowledge. Advances in medicine and in all aspects of scientific research cease when we allow false conclusions from pseudo-science to persist.

    The owners of the ketoduped reddit forum were posting last month that Malcolm Kendrick has cancer and has less than 3 years to live. Can you confirm or deny these allegations? What is the update on your cancer?

      I am not sure that these constitute allegations. Having prostate cancer is not a crime. I am not sure how Ketoduped got the information about my years left to live. If it is true, it is news to me. I think I may contact the Ketoduped team and remind them that if it were true, they have broken the law in publishing confidential medical information it. If it is not, which it is not, they are simply lying. So, criminals, or liars. Take your pick.

      Similar lies have been published about Mr Putin for many years. Yet there he is, going about his business more bright-eyed, apple-cheeked and mischievous as ever.

      May Dr Kendrick be in as good health.

    What fantastic news – really made my day as it is a huge accomplishment to have won AND gotten The Mail to print a retraction of their outrageous slander.

    In celebration, I am ordering a copy of The Clot Thickens as a Christmas present for my GP. (Actually, he is fine – but his partner, a senior cardiologist and a statin taker himself is a tough nut to crack.)

    Anyway I hope this means an end to the long silence. I really missed not being able to get my “optimisim fix” from your site on a regular basis and actually stopped checking in for many months. Luckily I took a peek today.

    Best Regards.

    Your efforts and perseverance have set a precedence for us all – deepest thanks and congratulations on winning the court case (you got the bastards!).

    I have searched the web for the original “The deadly propaganda of the statin deniers” online and can’t find it, does anyone have a copy?

    Thank you from an ordinary, non-medically trained, denier. I have had so many drugs pushed across medical desks, that even my simple brain struggled to understand would help my ‘then’ symptoms. Being an inveterate suspicious sod I always looked them up before even considering taking them, 99% of which ended up back at the pharmacy, so many blood pressure medications for someone whose BP is always on the low side of normal, but when presenting with slightly raised (due to having my long time hrt denied for example!) said medic insisting I take this wonder drug.

    Thank you for being willing to be target practice, I wish you good health.
