In 1997, he founded Onyvax Ltd.,[1] a privately-funded biotechnology company developing cancer vaccines, where he held the position as Research Director;[14] it was dissolved in 2013.[15] Dalgleish is a member of the medical board in Bionor Pharma.[citation needed] Dalgleish is on the scientific advisory board of Immodulon, and has stock options in Immunor AS, a disclosure he made in order to have his research work published.[16][non-primary source needed]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dalgleish was a proponent of the lab leak theory.[17] While still not generally accepted, this remains a live debate, and it has been claimed that the support of Jay Bhattacharya and John Ratcliffe for the lab leak theory will bring "explosive documents" to light in 2025.[18]
Professor Angus Dalgleish is Professor of Oncology at St Georges Hospital Medical School London. He has made seminal observations relating to the virology of HIV. In particular he identified CD4 as a major receptive for HIV in humans, produced the first report of a link between Slim Disease in Africa and HIV infection. He also identified the close correlation between the immune response and the presence of tropical spastic paraparesis in patients infected with the HTLV-1 virus.[2]
Covid controversies
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[27] and Byline Times[28] 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".[28]
That in March 2020 the group prepared an 'Urgent Briefing for the Prime Minister and his Advisers' which advised that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology[28] (see COVID-19 lab leak ).
That the group had briefed Boris Johnson that the man-made nature of the virus meant that the best candidate for vaccine development was the Norwegian Biovacc-19.[29] 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 the group had then contacted a range of other Western intelligence agencies to brief them on the supposed Chinese activity in a briefing titled 'The Three Interlocking Arms of The Intelligence Case against PRC' which claimed China was “attempting to control the terms of the origin of COVID-19 debate with active help from non-Chinese agents of influence, notably at the scientific journal Nature.[28]
In November 2024, Dalgleish was interviewed in Australia on 2GB and repeated his views on the COVID-19 pandemic. He believed the lockdowns and mask mandates in many countries had been "total madness" and that the "vaccines" were wrongly named and had been "largely ineffective at saving lives" while causing many adverse reactions. Australia's pandemic response had been "absolutely appalling". Only Sweden had got it right, with no lockdown mandates, and with vaccines only for people over 70. He said the result had been "the lowest excess death rate in the entire western world."[31]
