Martin Kulldorff: Doctor’s criticism off-base

In a Jan. 1 Gazette letter by Northampton physician Shelly Berkowitz, there are several factual errors.
With two other infectious disease epidemiologists, I co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration that calls for better protection of high-risk elderly while ending lockdowns, for example by opening schools and universities for in-person teaching. Berkowitz’ claim that billionaire Charles Koch funded the Declaration is false. We received no money to write the Declaration. No organization influenced its content. We have no ties to the Koch brothers. Ironically, the opposite is true, as the Koch funded Mercatus Center gave money to pro-lockdown modeler Neal Ferguson at Imperial College.

While I applaud the Gazette’s commitment to the First Amendment right to free speech, as a physician in Northampton living and working in the midst of the pandemic, I feel obliged to respond to Therese Soukar Chehade’s guest column, “COVID Wars,” published on Dec. 22.
While it has the calm tone and measured rhetoric that might lead casual readers to believe that they are considering a reasonable perspective, they most surely are not. Advocating for people in the U.S. to value the Swedish approach to the pandemic is a little like selling hydrogen for dirigibles the day after the Hindenburg crashed and burned in 1937.
