Dr. Aseem Malhotra – a prominent British cardiologist and producer of the new documentary “First! Do No Pharm” – was part of a victorious libel lawsuit against Mail on Sunday, which published a 2019 article falsely accusing him and others of “knowingly making false statements about statins.”

After receiving a judgement from the High Court in June 2024, the newspaper publisher settled with an agreement to “pay substantial libel damages.”
