Episode notes
Fired Over Vaccine Refusal
- Martin Kulldorff describes being fired from Mass General for refusing the COVID vaccine due to prior infection and an immune deficiency.
- He says many nurses with prior infection were also fired despite natural immunity being stronger than vaccine-induced immunity.
Harvard Set The Lockdown Pace
- Harvard led early campus closures in March 2020 and set a precedent other institutions followed.
- Kulldorff argues these closures were unnecessary for low-risk students and likely worsened spread to vulnerable contacts.
Offered Debate That Was Declined
- Kulldorff wrote a public letter defending Scott Atlas and invited debate with dissenting Stanford faculty.
- He says none of the 98 critics accepted his offer to debate, signaling a refusal to engage scientifically.
