An Injection of Truth
Healing for Humanity
Our focus for An Injection of Truth: Healing Humanity is to explore four pillars of healing:
- Is there is a need for healing? What is the real scope of all-cause mortality on Albertans?
- How do we create an emotional protocol to treat traumatized Albertans impacted by long convid?
- Why would someone want to injure children & humanity? Identifying the source and reason for the pain.
- Is there a path to make the individual whole – or as close to whole as is possible?
So, let’s have the conversation to understand.
Join us as we take the next step at An Injection of Truth-Healing Humanity. We invite you to attend in person, create a viewing party, or stream the event live.
Our line up of experts includes researchers, legal experts, doctors and everyday Albertans: Drs. Denis Rancourt, David Martin, David Speicher, Byram Bridle, Joanny Liu, and Mr. Shawn Buckley, Legal Council NCI

Science and Medicine Experts
Professor Denis G. Rancourt, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.
Denis Rancourt holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in physics, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Toronto. He was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada international post‑doctoral candidate in national scientific laboratories in France and in The Netherlands. He then became a national NSERC University Research Fellow (NSERC-URF), in Canada, and a lead researcher and professor at the University of Ottawa for 23 years, where he attained the highest academic rank of tenured Full Professor. He is an interdisciplinary research scientist, and has published over 100 articles in peer reviewed science journals, in many different areas of science. He is presently co-director and researcher at the non-profit “CORRELATION Research in the Public Interest” (correlation-canada.org).
Dr. David J. Speicher
Dr. David J. Speicher has a PhD in the fields of Clinical Microbiology and Virology. He has over twenty years of expertise in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications, and secured over a million dollars in scientific funding.
Dr. Speicher is actively engaged in and focused on translational science (the use of basic scientific research toward clinical applications) to ensure practical outcomes with benefit to people in need. He is an integral part of multiple collaborative and integrative scientific networks in Australia, India, Kenya, and Canada focusing on the detection and management of a range of infectious diseases.

Dr. Byram W. Bridle
Dr. Bridle is an Associate Professor of Viral Immunology in the Department of Pathobiology at the University of Guelph.
He is passionate about improving life through two avenues of research. One arm of his research program is dedicated to designing and optimizing novel biotherapies for the treatment of cancers. The goal of his research team is to harness the natural power of a patient’s immune system to eliminate their own cancer cells. This represents the ultimate personalized therapy and holds the potential to treat cancers more effectively, safely, and at lower cost than current options.
The second arm of his research program focuses on studying host responses to viruses and other inflammatory stimuli. This has implications for the treatment of infectious diseases and inflammation-mediated disorders. These two programs have been unified in a unique way.
The Bridle lab is harnessing their expertise in making potent cancer vaccines and combining this with their interest in anti-viral immunity to develop vaccines to protect against infectious diseases such as those caused by highly pathogenic coronaviruses. Mentoring the next generation of Canadian scientists is a responsibility that Dr. Bridle takes very seriously. He also counts it a privilege to teach students in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Guelph.
