Dr Martin Kulldorff PhD is a former Professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations. He is now the Scientific Director at the Brownstone Institute, a new scientific institution to help save public health and science [1]. He is a founding Fellow at Hillsdale College’s newly formed Academy for Science & Freedom.
He was fired from a CDC committee for being too pro-vaccine!
In early October 2020 he, along with two of his esteemed colleagues, Dr Sunetra Gupta and Dr Jay Bhattacharya, wrote The Great Barrington Declaration, and released it to the public on October 5, 2020. It was a plea to the world to take a different strategy, a more “focused protection” approach to the COVID-19 measures to prevent the inevitable devastation that would result from the current lockdown and restrictive measures.

- Harvard’s response to the pandemic, including the firing of Martin Kulldorff, raises concerns about academic freedom and the need for reform in the scientific community
- Vaccine trials have limitations in assessing rare conditions and long-term efficacy and adverse reactions
- Vaccine mandates should consider individual risk profiles and the availability of vaccines for vulnerable populations [or never be mandated as that overrides Informed Consent and assumes “the system” is not influenced by funding from the manufacutures of the product group]

Martin Kulldorff writes
- Welcome to the new world where scientific consensus is achieved by intimidating, silencing, firing, decredentialing, or eliminating the opposition – Steve Kirsch – REF
- “Universities once ostensibly devoted to searching for truth and fact, revealed a long-formenting truth in 2020: they could no longer be viewed as truth-based instructional organizations. Instead, their sole focus and goal became clear: indoctrination. Pushing an ideological message, promoting progressive activism and ensuring that identity and nonsensical anti-truth is paramount over incontrovertibly objective reality” …Harvard, as well as their ideological allies in the media, demanded conformity with the accepted prevailing narratives over the pursuit of truth. Because they mustn’t let the “wrong” people potentially be correct.”- Ian Miller – REF

- “But Kulldorff’s statement was an expert’s opinion—one which also happened to be in line with vaccine policies in numerous other countries. Yet it was deemed “false information” by Twitter moderators merely because it differed from CDC guidelines.” and was “slapped with a “Misleading” label and all replies and likes were shut off, throttling the tweet’s ability to be seen and shared by many people”… – [start of Kulldorff part of the thread – HERE]

- “Because of its virulence, wide spread and the many asymptomatic cases it causes, Covid-19 cannot be contained in the long run, and so all countries will eventually reach herd immunity. To think otherwise is naive and dangerous. General lockdown strategies can reduce transmission and death counts in the short term. But this strategy cannot be considered successful until lockdowns are removed without the disease resurging.”

While anyone can get infected by SARS-CoV-2, there’s more than a thousand fold difference in mortality. People in their 70s have roughly:
- 2 x the mortality of those in their 60s,
- 10 x the mortality of those in their 50s,
- 40 x that of those in their 40s,
- 100 x that of those in their 30s,
- 300 x that of those in their 20s,
- > than 3000 times higher than for children.
