Professor Christine Stabel Benn, Southern University in Denmark, has published ground-breaking field studies about vaccines with her husband, Professor Peter Aaby. In this episode, Peter C Gøtzsche discusses with Professor Christine Stabell Benn the research that has shown that live, attenuated vaccines reduce total mortality by much more than their specific effects would predict; that non-live vaccines increase total mortality; that the order in which the vaccines are given is important for mortality; what the harms are of the COVID-19 vaccines; and why they are overused.
Professor Martin Kulldoff from Harvard University (currently on leave) is one of the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration that warned against lockdowns and recommended focused protection. In this episode, Peter C Gøtzsche discusses with Professor Martin Kulldorff what went wrong during the COVID-19 pandemic and how we could do better in future pandemics. Kulldorff's home country, Sweden, did not lock down and did not recommend facemasks, yet coped much better with the COVID-19 pandemic than most other countries in terms of mortality, the most important outcome.
