In December 2021, Kulldorff published an essay for the [[Brownstone Institute]] in which he argued against children receiving vaccination against Covid-19, falsely claiming that [[influenza]] was a greater risk to children than Covid. In a critical response published in [[Science-Based Medicine]], Jonathan Howard noted errors and factual inaccuracies in Kulldorff's essay, pointing out that while influenza was responsible for only one child death in the 2020/21 season - while [[public health mitigation of COVID-19]] was in place – COVID-19 killed more than 1,000.<ref name=saves>{{cite web |publisher=[[Science-Based Medicine]] |title=I Disagree With an Article Called 'Vaccines Save Lives' |vauthors=Howard J |date=23 December 2021 |url=https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/i-disagree-with-an-article-called-vaccines-save-lives/}}</ref> In addition to this, Kulldorff's essay omitted that children who are infected with COVID-19 are at risk for rare but serious conditions, such as [[Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children|MIS-C]], with 8,862 confirmed cases of children with MIS-C by March of 2023.<ref name=saves/><ref name="Maltz-Matyschsyk2023">{{cite journal |last1=Maltz-Matyschsyk |first1=Michele |last2=K.
