The Lavigne Show with host Jason Lavigne
For the first time, Dr. David J Speicher breaks his silence. Once a trusted COVID-19 researcher in Ontario, he was fired, not for misconduct, but for doing his job. What he reveals about the province’s public health system will shock you.
His story is one of integrity, sacrifice, and the high cost of speaking the truth.
Dr. David J. Speicher was one of Canada’s earliest and most qualified COVID researchers, with a PhD in virology, field experience on four continents, and a lead role in sequencing SARS-CoV-2 in early 2020. He helped develop testing protocols and collaborated with Public Health Ontario during the critical early phase of the pandemic.
But just as his work began gaining momentum, his career took a dramatic and unexpected turn.
What began as a scientific collaboration turned into a battle of personal conviction, institutional pressure, and conflicting priorities. In this exclusive interview, Dr. Speicher shares, for the first time, how his outspoken views, his questions, and his values placed him at odds with the system he worked within.
Joined by his close friend and confidant Delford Snyder, Dr. Speicher recounts his journey: from faith and science to conflict and consequence.
This is a deeply personal story about integrity, belief, and what happens when standing by principle carries a cost.
