In 2020, Kulldorff was a co-author of the [[Great Barrington Declaration]], which advocated lifting [[COVID-19]] restrictions on lower-risk groups to develop [[herd immunity]] through infection before vaccines became available, while promoting the fringe notion that vulnerable people could be simultaneously protected from the virus.<ref name="gbdfringe"/><ref name="MedPage2">{{Cite web|last=D'Ambrosio|first=Amanda|date=October 19, 2020|title=Who Are the Scientists Behind the Great Barrington Declaration?|url=https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/89204|access-date=January 22, 2021|url-access=registration|website=www.medpagetoday.com|language=en}}</ref><ref name="wsj-touts" /><ref name="urg" /> The declaration was widely rejected, and was criticized as being unethical and infeasible by [[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus]], the director-general of the [[World Health Organization]].<ref name="Wapo-unethical">{{Cite news|last1=Farzan|first1=Antonia Noori|last2=Berger|first2=Miriam|title=Trying to reach herd immunity is 'unethical' and unprecedented, WHO head says|language=en-US|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/10/13/herd-immunity-coronavirus-unethical-who/|url-access=subscription|access-date=February 20, 2022|issn=0190-8286}}</ref>
