"On January 23, 2020 Corman, et al. published online 'Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR' in the magazine Eurosurveillance. From that moment on, all international organizations including the WHO, the CDC, scientists from various universities, pharmaceutical companies and the ministries of health of almost all world governments accepted that article as the standard diagnostic protocol for SARS-nCoV2.
Interestingly, the article was sent to the magazine on January 21, 2020 and accepted for publication the next day. So, it is virtually impossible for this article to have been peer-reviewed in such a way that it was not evaluated by independent scientists who determined whether the information, the methods used, and the conclusions obtained were correct. Prof. Drosten and Dr. Reusken belong to the editorial board of Eurosurveillance (https://www.eurosurveillance.org/board ) and they bypassed all the usual controls for this type of publication. In addition, several of the authors who signed the article have serious conflicts of interest ...
[T]his protocol was sent to WHO (Geneva) on January 17, 2020, where it was immediately approved, and where its use worldwide as a diagnostic standard was immediately recommended, almost a week before its publication. At that time, there was no health crisis since no case was known outside of China, so its urgent approval was unjustified and irresponsible ... In November 2020, 22 internationally renowned scientists conducted an external peer review of Corman’s paper to independently assess its quality and accuracy. In this publication, Borger, et al. concluded that the article published without guarantees in Eurosurveillance contains nine serious scientific errors and three minor inaccuracies ...
The Corman, et al. protocol is based on the detection of 3 viral genes: N, E and RdRp. Theoretically, the first two do not detect common human coronaviruses, but betacoronoaviruses associated with bats; however, their studies demonstrated their inability to detect them. Alone, the test for the RdRp gene would be specific to detect SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. However, the results showed that the detection of the RdRp gene is not specific for SARS-CoV-2 because it shares homologies with sequences from other human coronaviruses, animals and genomic sequences present on human chromosomes (similarities between 97-100%) that can be cross-reactive with other viruses and genomic sequences present in human chromosomes. Therefore, this test has a high risk of non-specificity associated with false positive results ...
As early as February 2020, Wang Chen, president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, admitted that 'PCR tests are only 30 to 50% accurate' ...
In fact, there is complete consensus that PCR tests performed with 40 amplification cycles cannot distinguish between 'live' viruses and inactive (non-infectious) virus particles and therefore cannot be used as a diagnostic tool. They also cannot confirm that SARS-CoV2 is the causative agent of clinical symptoms, as the test cannot rule out diseases caused by other microorganisms or even our own genes. Another important aspect for the possible cancellation of this test as a diagnostic method for Covid-19 is the absolute lack of a gold standard with which to compare the test results ...
In his article Watson states that 'only a virus, tested by isolation and purification, can be a solid gold standard, only virus isolation, that is, an unequivocal virus test, can be the gold standard'. But such a comparison of the test versus the isolated and purified culture has never been made ...
Yesterday, January 16, 2021, the very manufacturer of the PCR test promoted by Corman-Drosten (and blessed by WHO) estimates false positive rate at 50%. This literally means that half of the 95 million cases of 'infected' and of the 2 million deaths are false and that almost all the decisions made have been totally wrong and counterproductive. Since the beginning of the health crisis, the belief in the validity of these PCR tests has been so strong that it resembles a fanaticism that does not tolerate contradiction on the part of official doctors and scientists ...
To assume that a totally asymptomatic person is sick with Covid-19 because a PCR test with 40 amplification cycles has been positive is simply a scientific falsehood ...
Likewise, a significant part of the 2 million deaths from heart attacks, cancer, strokes, trauma and other diseases has been mislabeled as Covid-19 just because of testing positive on a 40-cycle amplified PCR test. Only 6% of COVID-19 deaths in the United States had COVID-19 as the only cause mentioned, suggesting that 94 percent of patients who died from the coronavirus also had other underlying 2.6 additional conditions per person, according to a new report of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ...
The making of political decisions that are clearly inadequate because they are based on mostly erroneous diagnoses, have caused devastating consequences for the country’s economy without having produced any health advantage according to studies carried out by various universities in the USA and Europe. These decisions made around the world have pushed 60 million people into 'extreme poverty', which is defined as living on less than $1.90 per person per day. Said political decisions have been characterized by their notorious arbitrariness, forcing confinements of the population, curfews, perimeter closures, capacity limitations, closure of activities not considered essential and a long list of deleterious decisions for the population that have led to the ruin of millions of families and the closure of numerous small and medium-sized enterprises that are the basis of the productive economy."
