Martin Kulldorff declined to take a shot because he recovered from COVID-19.

A Harvard Medical School professor who refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine has been terminated, according to documents reviewed by The Epoch Times.

Martin Kulldorff, an epidemiologist, was fired by Mass General Brigham in November 2021 over noncompliance with the hospitalโ€™s COVID-19 vaccine mandate after his requests for exemptions from the mandate were denied, according to one document. Mr. Kulldorff was also placed on leave by Harvard Medical School (HMS) because his appointment as professor of medicine there โ€œdepends uponโ€ holding a position at the hospital, another document stated.

Mr. Kulldorff asked HMS in late 2023 how he could return to his position and was told he was being fired.

โ€œYou would need to hold an eligible appointment with a Harvard-affiliated institution for your HMS academic appointment to continue,โ€ Dr. Grace Huang, dean for faculty affairs, told the epidemiologist and biostatistician.

She said the lack of an appointment, combined with college rules that cap leaves of absence at two years, meant he was being terminated.

Mr. Kulldorff disclosed the firing for the first time this month.

โ€œWhile I canโ€™t comment on the specifics due to employment confidentiality protections that preclude us from doing so, I can confirm that his employment agreement was terminated November 10, 2021,โ€ a spokesperson for Brigham and Womenโ€™s Hospital told The Epoch Times via email.

Mass General Brigham granted just 234 exemption requests out of 2,402 received, according to court filings in an ongoing case that alleges discrimination.

The hospital said previously, โ€œWe received a number of exemption requests, and each request was carefully considered by a knowledgeable team of reviewers.โ€

โ€œA lot of other people received exemptions, but I did not,โ€ Mr. Kulldorff told The Epoch Times.

Mr. Kulldorff was originally hired by HMS but switched departments in 2015 to work at the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Womenโ€™s Hospital, which is part of Mass General Brigham and affiliated with HMS.
