Urgent fundraiser for Dr. Byram Bridle’s critically ill wife
David J Speicher PhD DTM – Courageous Truth
Dr Byram Bridle is a good colleague and friend who has faced more than any human should have had to in the past 5 years. From being criminally harassed by colleagues to being banned from his lab/office. Dr Bridle has been on the front lines speaking the truth of COVID for the past 5 years, and now his wife, Jocelyn, has been through an unimaginable medical situation with a long road ahead, and they need our support.

Dr. Byram W. Bridle is an associate professor of viral immunology at the University of Guelph’s Department of Pathobiology and Ontario Veterinary College, where his research focuses on designing innovative vaccines to combat infections and precision cancer therapies that combine immune-boosting strategies with viruses engineered to target and destroy tumours while protecting healthy cells. His group also studies how viruses spark widespread inflammation during severe infections and explores why immune reactions might differ between men and women, aiming to refine treatments for inflammatory diseases. Dr Bridle is a highly regarded educator in the veterinary and biomedical fields. He’s received awards for both his teaching excellence and research impact. In 2024, he was named a Senior Fellow in virology and immunology by the Independent Medical Alliance, recognising his expertise in the field.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Bridle drew attention for his critiques of vaccine safety, notably referencing biodistribution data from a Japanese regulatory review of Pfizer’s rodent study to contend that the mRNA vaccines’ spike protein circulates systemically and accumulates in organs like the ovaries, liver, and spleen, potentially functioning as a toxin with risks to fertility and cardiovascular health. These assertions, however, faced significant pushback from scientists and fact-checkers, who highlighted that the vaccine-produced spike is a stabilised, non-pathogenic version that doesn’t replicate like the virus and dissipates quickly from the body without causing harm. During this time, Dr Bridle has experienced intense harassment from colleagues after publicly sharing his vaccine concerns, including online attacks and professional pressure to censor his views, which prompted an investigation into complaints against him under the university’s workplace harassment policy and led to his removal from campus, barring him from his lab and office for over three years until late 2024. During that time, Dr Bridle has served as an expert witness in multiple court cases against the government’s COVID-19 mandates.
Dr. Byram Bridle, a brave voice of truth on COVID who has endured harassment, bans from his lab, and unimaginable trials. Now, his incredible wife Jocelyn faces a long recovery after a severe Group A Strep infection led to sepsis, an induced coma, and the loss of her forearms and… pic.twitter.com/FXaKWCxV7T
