World-Class Scientist Calls Out Medical Journal For Smearing Lockdown Critics Instead Of Proving Them Wrong

One of the world’s most-respected vaccine safety researchers underscored in a blistering article Oct. 12 that scientific institutions are killing their own legitimacy by enabling and perpetrating lies, distortions, smears, and unwarranted hysteria about COVID-19.

“Open and honest discourse is critical for science and public health. As scientists, we must now tragically acknowledge that 400 years of scientific enlightenment may be coming to an end,” writes Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine at Harvard University and coauthor of the Great Barrington Declaration, in The Spectator.

Kulldorff’s article responds to a recent British Medical Journal (BMJ) attack on that declaration, a statement of scientific opposition to lockdowns as an effective public health tool due to their many devastating health, economic, and other consequences.

“Collateral public health damage from Covid restrictions are real and enormous on cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, backsliding childhood vaccinations, starvation and mental health, just to name a few. It is not the GBD, but those who downplay lockdown harms who should be equated with those who question the harms of tobacco or climate change,” Kulldorff explains in the article.

Lockdowns also stretch out disease outbreaks, forcing the vulnerable to protect themselves for a longer amount of time by delaying herd immunity, which increases deaths.

Kulldorff also discusses herd immunity. He says that accusing the Great Barrington Declaration coauthors of supporting herd immunity is “akin to accusing someone of being in favour of gravity. Both are scientifically established phenomena. Every Covid strategy leads to herd immunity. The key is to minimise morbidity and mortality. The language, here, is non-scientific: herd immunity is not a creed. It’s how pandemics...
