Dr. Eric Payne

Dr. Eric Payne is a paediatric neurologist. He has a degree in Public Health from Harvard, and worked at the Mayo Clinic for a number of years before returning to Canada to take a job in Alberta in 2020.

A healthy society sacrifices for and protects its children. I know of no grandparent who would not willingly lay down his or her life for a grandchild. But COVID policy took such choices out of the hands of individuals and collectivized them, outsourcing decisions to The Experts™. They decided that in order to protect the elderly and comorbid, children’s sports, school, graduation ceremonies, extracurricular activities, dating, and socialization in general had to be sacrificed. They justified coerced vaccinations for children and youth - who are at exceedingly low risk from COVID - with the idea that vaccinating youth would prevent spread to the elderly. We masked toddlers. We closed parks. You know the story.

For those under 70 in Canada (let alone kids), car accidents have killed more people than has COVID in the last few years. Did this risk justify shutting down our children’s lives?

Despite his experience, credentials, and obvious unshakable ethics, Dr. Payne was hauled onto the mat for daring to criticize vaccine mandates. As you’ll hear, his life changed a lot. But he has no regrets.

Eric is active with the Canadian Covid Care Alliance and continues to be a strong voice of reason pushing for sanity in the (for some) never-ending War on COVID. We are happy that he will be one of our speakers at FSIM 2023, coming up in a week in Baddeck.
