Dr. Peter Canaday: Opposing the Covid Juggernaut with Rational Medical Thinking
and persecuted for his good works by New Zealand's Medical Mafia
When the covid tsunami hit the shores of New Zealand, thereby fostering a slew of drastic measures based on limitless fear and breathtakingly absent science, Dr. Peter Canaday did what good doctors are meant to do: he thought, he questioned, he amassed evidence, he insisted on basic foundational principles of Medicine, and he brought his concerns to the public.
Other doctors at the time also expressed their concerns, myself being among them, but Peter, given his expertise in Internal Medicine, Respiratory and Intensive Care and Radiology, marshalled his talents in an enviable way to bring an eminently rational perspective on a complex series of topics to all of us. An example of the kind of presentations he was making may be seen here:

Peter was ‘rewarded’ for his good and necessary work with the suspension of his medical licence, a professional conduct complaint, and a week-long appearance at a Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal in April of 2023.
I interviewed Peter shortly after the Tribunal concluded and our conversation may be found here:
My Conversation with Peter Canaday, M.D.: Part 1
Dr. Canaday has been persecuted by the Medical Council of New Zealand for daring to stand up for foundational principles of Medicine and challenging the ‘single source of truth’ over covid. We will speak again after a decision has been rendered by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal to which Peter was recently subjected. It will represent a …
I read Peter’s legal brief for the Tribunal, characterized by his customary meticulous presentation of material, and I understood that his concluding submission was a courtroom tour de force, effectively demolishing his critics’ specious arguments. He and others were optimistic that truth and evidence would prevail and he would be fully exonerated. I, however, was extremely dubious — not because I had qualms about Peter’s defense, but because I had no trust in the establishment systems, processes and procedures. An ominous sign was the Tribunal’s refusal to livestream their proceedings in real time, and another ominous sign was that they failed to render a decision for many months when typically these kinds of matters were resolved within days.
It came as no surprise to me therefore when the Tribunal found against Dr. Canaday, on 21 November 2023.
I have discussed this development and the consequences for Peter’s career in my recent interview here:
Dr. Peter Canaday: Champion of Medical Integrity, Victim of Institutional Injustice
This may be the most important interview I’ve conducted thus far, not least because it exposes the rank corruption and failure of the institutions meant to protect the public here in New Zealand — in this case the Medical Council of New Zealand and the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal — and demonstrates the courage of a doctor who stood up fro…
I urge all readers to watch attentively and to avail yourselves of the supporting documents posted alongside the video of our conversation and below. I believe you will find that there has indeed been a gross miscarriage of justice.
However I also believe, quite strongly, that justice can not be expected from a lawless adversary.
The establishment authorities in Medicine not only here in New Zealand but worldwide, under the aegis of the Federation of State Medical Boards and its international arm, the International Association of Medical Regulatory Agencies, have shown their rottenness — and iron control. The ‘fix’ was and is ‘in’ and it would be perilously naive for us to expect some sudden enlightenment from these quarters.
Doctors like Peter Canaday, who stepped up to the plate when their wisdom was most in need, have been hounded, harassed, fined and vilified. Instead they should be crowned with laurels for upholding the principles of their profession, forged over millennia.
In the end the final court of justice is us — the people — who can see through the operation of a racket hell-bent on instilling fear, undermining rational thought, and shilling for senselessly destructive measures that have caused unnecessary suffering and death.
It may take a while but we will hold them to account.

In the post-Flexner world, it is exceedingly difficult to determine what a "good doctor" is, let alone what one should do.
