We are now witnessing the effects of the irrational government lockdown policies and cancel culture that emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our churches and synagogues were shut down with irreparable damage done to our faith communities because of the CDC’s lockdown guidelines.
One of the few scientists who bravely spoke out against lockdowns and vaccine mandates was Harvard Professor of Medicine, Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a widely respected biostatistician and epidemiologist.
We were honored to have Dr. Kulldorff speak at the first Restoring Our Faith Summit in 2022. Dr. Kulldorff shared facts about the virus, the American response, and how our faith communities can rebound from pandemic lockdowns. He further shared his work on The Great Barrington Declaration, a letter published in 2020 by Kulldorff and fellow epidemiologists, Drs. Jay Bhattacharya and Sunetra Gupta arguing for an end to lockdowns and providing recommendations on how to protect vulnerable populations.
Harvard University openly suppressed Dr. Kulldorff’s pursuit of scientific truth during the pandemic. They punished his efforts to debate the science behind vaccines and lockdowns. He was put on a leave of absence by the university’s medical school in 2021, and his position was officially terminated in 2023.
Since his termination, Kulldorff released a detailed letter describing his opinions on lockdowns and vaccines, his work on CDC vaccine development, and the circumstances surrounding his firing from Harvard medical school. We invite you to read the full essay here.
