Alastair McAlpine

Dr. Alastair McAlpine is a Canadian infectious diseases specialist based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

He was a fellow in paediatric infectious diseases at BC Children’s Hospital.¹⁾

McAlpine was a signatory to the John Snow Memorandum calling for sustained public health restrictions,²⁾ originally published in the Lancet in October 2020.³⁾ The original signatories of the memo include individuals with direct financial ties to development of COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer, monoclonal antibodies, Public Health England, Scottish Government COVID-19 Advisory Group, Roche, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Illumina, Merck, Genentech, and the Center for Policy Impact in Global Health at Duke University, “which has received grant funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for policy research that includes policy analysis on COVID-19 control.”

McAlpine has been quoted in several media reports on the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2021, McAlpine co-authored an article in Canada's National Observer arguing for the closure of industrial mink farming due to the alleged risk of emerging SARS-COV-2 variant. He alludes to veterinary COVID-19 vaccines.⁴⁾

Newsweek cited a February 1, 2022 tweet by McAlpine in which he asserted that in-vitro data for the benefit of ivermectin had not meaningfully translated into humans.⁵⁾

In April 2022, he described Dr. Robert Malone's work on mRNA vaccines as “important” but explained that others contributed to the platform over a number of years.⁶⁾ MedPage Today repeated the quotation three days later.⁷⁾
