On November 27, 2020, twenty-two international consortium scientists submitted a request to retract the Drosten paper from the journal Eurosurveillance due to fatal flaws and conflicts of interest. Upon reviewing the paper the came to a damning verdict: the study contains nine serious scientific errors and three minor inaccuracies. Such as:
- The primer design is inadequate
- The binding temperature used is too high, allowing for non-specific binding
- Th enumber of cycles in paper is 45; greater than 30 is known to be problematic
- no positive or negative controls were performed
- There is a risk of false positive results due to the imprecise test design
- Two of the authors (Prof. Drosten and Chantal Reusken) are members of the editorial board of Eurosurveillance!
This external peer review analysis of the Drosten-led pivotal PCR paper, revealed that the PCR test protocol used worldwide as the “gold standard” for “diagnosing” COVID-19, is likely producing excessive false positives, which “has led to worldwide misdiagnosis of infections attributed to SARS-CoV-2 and associated with the disease COVID-19.” The exaggerated PCR-driven case numbers led to a “casedemic”.

Among the reviewers is geneticist Kevin McKernan, the main initiator of the Human Genome Project, who holds several patents in the field of PCR diagnostics. [5]
A few weeks later, on December 14, 2020, the WHO acknowledges this PCR cycle threshold testing flaw, just as vaccines are about to be rolled out. [3]
