Martin Kulldorff a Steady Voice of Reason & Nuance on Children and the Shot
Martin Kulldorff, the epidemiologist and biostatistician who taught at Harvard Medical School for a decade, just posted an article over at Brownstone Institute evaluating the latest data on the COVID vaccine and children.
The brief article does a wonderful job analyzing the data we have so far. His takeaway is summed up in the article’s final paragraph:
For older people who have not yet had Covid it makes sense to get vaccinated. While there may be unknown low-risk adverse reactions, the large reduction in mortality risk far outweighs any such risks. For children, the mortality risk is very small and the known and any still unknown risks from adverse reactions may outweigh the benefits at reducing hospitalizations and death from Covid, which are unfortunately still unknown.
Risks MAY outweigh the benefits.
It’s this type of nuance and reason that led Kulldorff to co-author the infamous Great Barrington Declaration. That document recommended focused protection of the vulnerable over the disastrous, widespread lockdowns America and most other countries adopted.
If the risks MAY outweigh the benefits, every member of a sane society should be utterly appalled that the public health establishment, large swaths of the federal government, and the full force of the corporate press have been, and continue, to coerce children and their parents into the shot.
