Doctors Who Honoured their Oath during Covid
It was inspiring to watch them speak out publicly in their opposition, a significant decision they knew could negatively affect career and reputation. The world’s people have deep gratitude these physicians stepped up to share their knowledge of biological and medical truths. Wanting a second or third opinion in medical matters is normal. But in 2020, government Covid policies left normal behind, and was replaced by a One Science, one-size-fits-all approach to a health crisis. For millions around the world, dissident doctors kept them sane in what felt like an increasingly unhinged and fearful reality. I will always be grateful for alternative media that gave dissident doctors a platform to counter the OCN. Millions learned about early treatment of infected patients with already existing ‘repurposed’ drugs. We learned why they were forbidden to be used in hospitals. We learned how medical definitions were changed to fit the OCN. And we were eager to understand the dangers of a vaccine produced with a technology never before used on humans. This meant a deep dive into the sciences of microbiology, virology, immunology, epidemiology and others. For their dedication to practice the best medicine they could, dissident doctors have been punished by Authorities, including the loss of their medical license. I read articles they wrote, and listened to video interviews, starting in 2020 and throughout the pandemic. These are a few of my favourite doctors who listened to their conscience and chose to honour their oath - First Do No Harm - by speaking up on behalf of the health of humanity. .......................................................... Great Barrington DeclarationThis statement was signed by hundreds of medical professionals and scientists opposing the locking down of society to stop the spread of Covid. It was originally published Oct. 4, 2020. The opening statement reads: “As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing Covid-19 politics, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.” The focus of the proposal was protection of the vulnerable, as well as allowing non-vulnerable citizens, such as the young and healthy, to go about their lives and risk infection. According to the declarations’ authors, doing so would build up herd immunity and thereby protect the lives of vulnerable citizens. The three authors of the Great Barrington Declaration - Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Dr. Martin Kuldorff and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya - are highly credentialed professors from Oxford, Harvard and Stanford Universities respectively. Collectively they have expertise in immunology, vaccine development and safety surveillance, and epidemiological methods for detection and monitoring of disease outbreaks. This declaration gave hope to people everywhere who experienced and reported their country’s “draconian” rules. Certainly some public health advice expected to be followed was not only absurd - such as closing parks when people desperately needed fresh air and recreation - but also inhumane, such as forcing elders to die alone without family by their side or telling people their work was not ‘essential’. The Declaration brought up the philosophical question: Should the overarching aim during Covid be to protect bare life or quality of life? Indeed, quality of life was not on the radar of public health officials who believed their primary concern should be everyone’s. Saving physical lives meant ignoring the damage of their policies that destroyed livelihoods, and the psychological fallout that destroyed lives. I watched the declaration’s signatures increase daily. Despite the authors’ expertise and heartfelt attempt to limit the harm of the radical and untested policy of lockdown, these three were ridiculed and dismissed as ‘fringe’ scientists offering ‘pseudo-science’. Naysayers rejected their proposal as dangerous, even though the declaration’s authors knew that lockdowns would only delay the inevitable spread of the virus, while causing enormous harm. The intent of discrediting this declaration was to shut
down debate rather than promote reasoned discussion. And
the implication was clear: only viewpoints aligned with
the OCN would be allowed. In the words of Dr. Gupta: "This
refusal to cherish the value of the scientific method strikes at
the heart of everything I, as a scientist, hold dear.
To me, the reasoned exchange of ideas is the basis of
civilised society." UPDATED on March 13, 2024: Days ago, Dr. Martin Kuldorff was fired by the Harvard
Medical School, as well as the hospital system where
most Harvard medical faculty work. He had been opposed
to the lockdown policy from the beginning, warning it
would inflict enormous collateral damage - which
the world knows is indisputably true. When Dr. Kuldorff attempted to debate his Harvard
critics, no one dared, and he has concluded:
"The public should not trust scientists, even
Harvard scientists, unwilling to debate their
positions with fellow scientists." He objected to getting the vaccine due to having a
specific type of genetic immune deficiency, and also
since he had had Covid and therefore believed he had
superior infection-acquired immunity. Although others
were given an exemption from the vaccine, he was not, so
had asked for a religious exemption because he did not
believe in the "religious
dogma" that those who did not need the vaccine -
due to infection-acquired immunity - should be
vaccinated.
.......................................................... The World Doctors AllianceIn the fall of 2020, I watched a video of a large group of doctors mainly from Europe tell the world that because mRNA vaccines had never been used on humans before, the planned Covid vaccines were experimental and potentially dangerous. They knew that humans would become lab rats. They all understood that these new vaccines would inject genetic material into our cells. I learned in this video (scrubbed from the internet) that in order to allow novel vaccines to be approved, the EU Parliament decided to remove the need of risk evaluations normally requested under GMO regulations. From section 17 of the EU document 32020R1043 dated July 15, 2020: “In the unprecedented situation of public health emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary that the protection of public health prevails. Therefore, it is necessary to grant a temporary derogation from the requirements concerning a prior environmental risk assessment and consent under Directives 2001/18/EC and 2009/41/EC for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or as long as COVID-19 is a public health emergency. The derogation should be limited to clinical trials with investigational medicinal products containing or consisting of GMOs intended to treat or prevent COVID-19.” This decision was made with no scientific reports, no hearings, no debates or amendments prior to the vote. In doing so, the EU legislators abandoned the principle of precaution by putting blind faith in a dangerous genetic experiment, and calling it "protection of public health". This decision was an early example of those in which regulations would be redefined or bi-passed entirely in order to push a potentially dangerous medical intervention as the only way to stop the spread of a virus. Indeed, it is tragic that so many people world-wide suffered terrible, often irreversible adverse reactions to the new vaccines - not only predicted by dissident doctors, but also by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) in October of 2020. All this information came out before Covid vaccines were injected into arms. .......................................................... Dr. Peter McCulloughAt the forefront of the Medical Freedom movement
Dr. Peter McCullough of Texas is one of the most respected cardiologists in the world, distinguished as the most published person in history in his field, as well as being an editor of two major medical journals. Thanks to alternative media, the world heard from this ‘dissident’ doctor early during the pandemic. Knowing that the typical Covid treatment protocol was to let his patients “languish at home with no treatment and then be hospitalized when it was too late”, Dr. McCullough refused to do it. Taking action, he put together a team of doctors to study prescribed off-label use of conventional medicine for early outpatient treatment of Covid. They published their findings on August 6, 2020 in the American Journal of Medicine. Dr. McCullough said he was “stunned” that of 50,000 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on Covid at that time, “not a single one told the doctor how to treat it”. A video discussion of this peer-reviewed paper quickly went viral, and within a week was suppressed by You-Tube. In his desire to inform people they need not despair if they tested positive for Covid, Dr. McCullough proposed to legislators to create a law that provides a treatment guide. But in hindsight, we know that promoting despair and fear was a necessary strategy in the promotion of mass medication as the only way to stop Covid. His proposal was rejected. On Sept. 24, 2021 Dr. McCullough provided a well-documented lecture (scrubbed from you-tube) on the "biological catastrophe” of Covid-19 “gene transfer” vaccines. Believing it was his duty to find a treatment for the disease, he once again spoke of the high effectiveness of early treatments. He explained how messenger RNA functions in the body. Once the mRNA enters cells, they create spike proteins, which he refers to as a “kind of a loaded weapon”, for they cause damage to the cells in which they are produced. As this protein circulates in the body for about two weeks, it damages organs, endothelial cells, blood cells and causes blood clotting. Normally, RNA is used once and disposed of, but with the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA injections, messenger RNA is used over and over, and stays in the cells for a very long time. Scientists around the world now know that the messenger RNA can survive cell division, so a parent cell can give it to daughter cells. This realization led Dr. McCullough to state: “For the first time in human history, we have a
biologic product that’s telling our body to produce an
abnormal protein” ... There is nothing about the spike
protein that’s good. They’re lethal.”
On June 7, 2022, Dr. McCullough and co-author John Leake were interviewed together about their book: The Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex. This book recounts how Dr. McCullough and colleagues were censured, censored, attacked in the media and fired from their jobs, while the greatest victims were the Covid patients deprived of early treatment. In the interview he tells us that many parents did not want to inject their children with an experimental drug. Dr. McCullough was shocked to hear a doctor at a pediatric meeting in the fall of 2021 say they will never know how safe the Covid vaccines are in children, so “we’re just going to have to widely deploy it and see what happens”. He believes that is one of the most reckless statements he has ever heard a doctor say. Read more about Dr. McCullough .......................................................... Dr. Sukharit BhakdiThe discovery of plasmid DNA in the vaccines alters our genomeDr. Bhakdi is a retired University of Mainz professor of microbiology. When I first heard him in March of 2021, I was immediately drawn to his gentle manner of speaking and his ability to explain his genuine concerns about the rushed Covid vaccines. He spoke on behalf of Doctors for Covid Ethics, a group of medical doctors and scientists driven by their dedication to care for the health of fellow human beings and to avoid doing harm due to insufficient knowledge. They all knew that the safety of the Covid vaccine had not been proven. They also knew that serious side effects are to be expected. Dr. Bhakdi explained that once the vaccines enter the bloodstream, they will remain trapped there and will enter the cells that line the blood vessels, which will induce these to produce the spike protein intended to stimulate our body’s immune system. Many copies of the virus spikes will appear on the cell surface. These may directly bind and activate blood platelets which will trigger blood clotting. As well, damage to the blood vessel lining is expected to cause the blood to clot as well. While triggering clot formation in our vessels is always life threatening, if clots form in vulnerable sites in the brain, spinal cord and heart, interruption of the blood flow may have irreversible and even fatal effects. Once the vaccination campaign began, Dr. Bhakdi’s concerns about the potential for life-threatening blood clots were confirmed. I listened to several funeral directors who saw something they had never seen before - an unprecedented number of large blood clots in deceased vaccinated people, a phenomenon observed by many embalmers. In a recent survey of 269 embalmers across 4 major countries, more than 70% reported finding strange fibrous white blood clots in significant percentages of corpses in 2023 - clots they were not finding pre-pandemic. .......................................................... Dr. Charles HoffeA conscientious doctor who reported injuries of his vaccinated patientsIn his small community of Lytton BC, Dr. Hoffe had been the primary ER doctor and family physician for 28 years. Only months after the vaccine rollout, Dr. Hoffe provided early evidence of harm from the vaccine from observations of his patients. In his practice, Dr. Hoffe had been testing certain of his Covid patients before and after vaccination with a D-Dimer test, which tests for evidence of blood clotting. Although blood clots can act as a first line of defence against blood loss, they can also develop as a result of certain medical conditions and cause life-threatening symptoms. His results were deeply concerning: D-Dimer tests were significantly higher post vaccination than pre-vaccination. This led him to advise that vaccinated people ask their doctor for this test which would show problems with blood clotting. He believed so strongly in his oath as a physician - First Do No Harm - that he was compelled in April 2021 to report observations of his patients’ reactions to the Covid-19 vaccine to BC’s Chief Medical Officer . In his Open Letter to Dr. Bonnie Henry, he questioned the medical ethics of continuing the vaccine rollout. “It is now clearly apparent with medical evidence from around the world, that the side-effect profiles of the various gene modification therapies against Covid-19, have been vastly understated by their manufacturers, who were eager to prove their safety.” Here was a doctor acting conscientiously and ethically, as any dutiful medical practitioner should have done. However, for disagreeing with the OCN, Dr. Hoffe was labelled a ‘dissident’ doctor who was spreading misinformation, and punished. He was fired from his job at a local hospital, persecuted in the media and by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. In October of 2022, he and Vancouver Island Dr. Steven Malthouse embarked on a Justice for the Vaccinated tour of BC. .......................................................... Dr. Mark TrozziWeaponization of Colleges of Physicians & Surgeons to attack ethical doctorsAs an emergency room physician, Dr. Trozzi fought public health disinformation and oppression from the beginning of the pandemic. This dissident doctor spoke out very strongly about his utter disillusionment with the state of medicine that required medical professionals to submit to all the top-down rules from Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Teresa Tam, rules coming from the World Health Organization. He said these rules were not only unreasonable, they also went against so much of what he learned in medical school about infectious disease. Dr. Trozzi studied coronavirus medical science extensively in 2020. To devote more of his efforts and time to research, he took a sabbatical. His goal was to educate the public about his research that revealed extreme dangers and predictable harm that would come from these injections. He objected to mandates prescribed by the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPSO) that forbade physicians from prescribing ivermectin, zinc, or hydroxychoroquine (HCQ) for Covid. The CPSO also said doctors cannot provide medical “exemption” for the experimental injections except in extreme circumstances. Furthermore, the CPSO said doctors were not allowed to make statements that disagreed with anything related to public health protocols for Covid. For Dr. Trozzi, there was no way he could obey what he saw as unlawful attacks against the lawful positions of ethical doctors. He believes that Canadian doctors, nurses and teachers are being manipulated to participate in the deception of “safe and effective” injections that violate the fundamental principle of informed consent. “Much of what is being done, including the experimental viral genetic injections, seem to violate the Nuremberg code regarding medical experimentation with full informed consent by the participants. “Doctor’s and nurses face tough decisions. My career as an emergency physician always provided me an opportunity to practice my religious and ethical beliefs of honesty and kindness, while making a good living. Now maintaining the career I love, would require participating in the deception, violating my oath and spiritual beliefs, and in my opinion committing crimes against humanity as defined by the Nuremberg Code.” Therefore, he had no choice but to act on his principles. In August of 2021, after consulting with various legal experts, he did give a few people an “exemption” to injection document. He believes they were statements of fact regarding international, national and provincial laws, and were well established medical ethics stating that coerced medical treatments are an assault. By refusing to participate in unethical practices, and by calling out the potential dangers of the new Covid vaccines, Dr. Trozzi made his position untenable and had to resign. But even though he quit his job, he did not quit his fight to raise awareness about vaccine risks and the reality of Covid.

Dr. Byram BridleReality Check of BC Dr. Bonnie Henry’s Public Health documentFirst it needs to be understood that Dr. Bridle does not have an MD degree. He is a PhD doctor who is a virologist and professor at the University of Guelph, Ontario. As a concerned scientist, he has been outspoken against vaccine mandates, seeing them as infringing on personal bodily sovereignty. Shamed for his views by mainstream media like other dissident doctors and scientists, Dr. Bridle was harassed at work - in his case prevented from participating in his own research at his own lab at the university. I eagerly watched the video of Dr. Bridle speaking to a packed crowd in Vancouver on Aug. 21, 2023. In 29 minutes, he took apart Dr. Bonnie Henry’s Public Health document dated April 6, 2023 - which continues to prevent unvaccinated health care workers in BC from working. It is painfully and tragically obvious that BC’s unprecedented health care crisis is directly a result of the thousands of health care workers not allowed to work. Dr. Bridle presented a series of slides of sections of the document. He pointed out that it refers do “the uncertainty which exists” about the mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and “a continued risk of an unexpected occurrence of a new variant” that could cause serious disease among the population. To counter those statements, Dr. Bridle reminded everyone of the well-accepted biological principle that a virus is a biological entity prone to mutation, and that one can never predict how a virus mutates. He then pointed out it is acknowledged world-wide that SARS-CoV-2 is now endemic, meaning we will be living with it for the rest of our lives. Therefore, by allegedly ‘protecting’ people from unvaccinated medical personnel, Dr. Bridle boldly claimed this Public Health Document is “pure fear-mongering”. Read more about Dr. Bridle .......................................................... Dr Pierre KoryTireless advocate of Ivermectin to treat CovidDr. Pierre Kory is the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Front Line Covid Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a non-profit organization dedicated to finding treatments for Covid, long-haul Covid, and post-vaccine injuries. As a critical care specialist, Dr. Kory dealt with the sickest and most problematic patients. I first heard of him shortly after his testimony on Dec. 8, 2020 before the US Senate Homeland Security Governmental Affairs Committee, where he advocated early treatment for Covid patients with ivermectin. Dr. Kory explained that as a lung specialist, and IT specialist, he had cared for so many dying Covid-19 patients, who were dying because they could not breathe. Advising that early treatment is the key, he bravely asked this committee to look at his data demonstrating his success treating his Covid patients with ivermectin. He knew for certain he was sharing life-saving information. Dr. Kory frequently cites the example of Uttar Pradesh, one of India's largest states with a population two-thirds the size of the U.S. With a careful door-to-door surveillance strategy in combination with a prevention and early treatment regime using ivermectin, Uttar Pradesh stopped the spread of Covid from their state of over 200 million people. He hopes that history books will rightly recognize their efforts as one of the most successful public health interventions ever. As well, Africa had very little incidence and deaths from Covid when compared to the rest of the populated world, since instead of vaccines they used ivermectin and HCQ, treatments used for decades against endemic parasites. We can only imagine Dr. Kory’s frustration realizing how determined public health authorities were to suppress the truth about ivermectin. The FDA deceived the public with its now infamous twitter message: No mainstream journalist bothered to discover that ivermectin was not just used as a de-wormer for animals. A quick online search would have revealed that ivermectin had been approved for human use in 1987, in fact had won a Nobel Prize for treating humans, and, that ivermectin is on the WHO’s list of safest and most effective medicines in the world. Medical professionals continue to discover it has anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-tumour properties. Read more about Dr. Kory ..........................................................
