“The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns have not only been devastating for society, they have had a chilling effect on the scientific community. For science to thrive, opposing ideas must be openly and vigorously discussed, supported, or countered based on scientific merit.

Instead, some politicians, journalists, and (alas) scientists have engaged in vicious slander of dissident scientists, spreading damaging conspiracy theories. … We tell the story here of five prominent scientists who have faced the modern-day inquisition: Scott Atlas, John Ioannidis, Sunetra Gupta, Carl Heneghan and Jonas Ludvigsson.” ~ Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Professor, Harvard Medical School
