In October 2023, following a joint investigation analysing emails leaked in 2022 by Russian hacking group working for the Russian FSB, an article was published by Computer Weekly and Byline Times containing several controversial claims about Angus Dalgleish. • That Dalgleish was a member of a secret group led by Richard Dearlove (former head of MI6), Gwythian Prins (a historian academic), and John Constable (of the Global Warming Policy Foundation) - who called themselves the "Covid Hunters". Also that Dalgleish had been given stock options in the company Immunor which held the patents for this vaccine due to his significant involvement in the research behind its development. • That when the scientific journal Nature Medicine published an article contradicting them on the origin of COVID-19, the group considered this to be COVID-19 misinformation by China. However this claim has been invalidated by multiple data sources that show Sweden was not exceptional in its covid death rates and had a similar outcome to many other EU countries including Ireland and Finland, both which had lockdowns and vaccines. " In a speech to the Reform Party Conference in September 2025 Aseem Malholtra, an adviser to US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, said: "One of Britain's most eminent oncologists Professor Angus Dalgleish said to me to share with you today that he thinks it's highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a significant factor in the cancers in the royal family." == Publications and contributions ==
