Dr. Christian Heinrich Maria Drosten is a German virologist whose research focus is on novel "emergent" viruses. On 23 January 2020, Drosten published a workflow of a real-time PCR (RT-PCR) diagnostic test, which was quickly accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO), and was used as the basis for the global testing regime used to justify COVID-19 lockdowns. The test methodology soon came under withering attacks from his scientific peers, but to no avail, as it serves other than medical purposes and is useful in the Covid-19 deep event.

Drosten was a prophet of doom during the 2009 Swine flu pandemic that fizzled out, also came to national prominence in Germany as the expert on the implications and actions required to combat the Covid-19 outbreak in Germany.The commercially-controlled media response in Germany was massively dominated by his changing opinions on how dangerous SARS-COV-2 'really' is.

Research

Drosten is one of the co-discoverers of SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-COV-1) in 2002 and received a price for developing a test so timely. In 2004, Drosten received the GlaxoSmithKline funding award for clinical infectiology, and he has a post-doctoral award for virology from the Robert Koch Institute.

2009 Swine Flu "false alarm"

In 2010, as the swine flu pandemic declared by the WHO the year before was fading out and had turned out to be globally very much less lethal than first estimated, Drosten warned that there would be a drastic increase in the number of cases in Germany and that it would spread all over the country. Drosten urged everybody to be vaccinated against swine flu. "The condition is a serious general viral infection that has significantly more serious side effects than anyone can imagine from the worst vaccine." In the end, the excess mortality from Swine Flu was negligible, and the government had to throw away 239 million euro of unused vaccines.

"Corona-explainer-in-chief"

During the 2019–2020 coronavirus pandemic, Drosten was called by The Guardian as "the German country's real face of the coronavirus crisis", who also noted that the Süddeutsche Zeitung had described Drosten as "the nation's corona-explainer-in-chief". He was a counterpart to Lothar Wieler, head of the State's Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, in consulting to German federal and state authorities.

Strongly condemn conspiracy theories

Drosten was one of 27 co-signers of The Lancet's February 2020 statement to "strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin". Later it was revealed that Peter Daszak has recruited him to do so.

Developer of the "test" that locked down the world

Drosten and some colleagues in Hong Kong and Europe developed a "test" for SARS-COV-2, ready to be sold at 5x the normal price in January 2020, which was quickly accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) who sent test kits to affected regions. Despite massive criticism from the medical community of the test methodology, it was quickly used as basis for the massive testing regime used to justify global lockdowns, accompanied by a media terror campaign of increasing 'cases'.

An external peer review in November 2020 of the scientific foundation of the PCR-test criticized it strongly, stating it:

suffer from numerous technical and scientific errors, including insufficient primer design, a problematic and insufficient RT-qPCR protocol, and the absence of an accurate test validation. Neither the presented test nor the manuscript itself fulfils the requirements for an acceptable scientific publication. Further, serious conflicts of interest of the authors are not mentioned. Finally, the very short timescale between submission and acceptance of the publication (24 hours) signifies that a systematic peer review process was either not performed here, or of problematic poor quality. We provide compelling evidence of several scientific inadequacies, errors and flaws.

An analysis of the Eurosurveillance submission process found that the peer review must have taken between 3,5 - 27,5 hours.

Lawsuits against Drosten

Reiner Fuellmich: "the lawsuit will be directed against Prof. Drosten of the Charité, both if it is filed in Germany or if it is filed as a class action in the USA or Canada, because he deceived against his better knowledge that the so-called PCR tests could detect infections."

Drosten test detects preexisting SARS-like viruses

Other medial experts point out that Corona viruses are detected by a probability based method. Viruses mutate constantly and a window has to be defined, in which a common denominator can be found. This window has been defined in such a way that preexisting viruses were detected. "We are currently not measuring the incidence of coronavirus diseases, but the activity of the specialists searching for them." says Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg. "Without Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Tests there would be no reason for special alarms". Coronaviruses are anything but 'novel'. nCoV-2019 shares 79% of its genome with SARS-CoV from 2002 and binds to the same receptors in humans.

Mixed messages

Concerning SARS-COV-2 he said that antibodies may develop naturally and also may be already present (so called background immunity). On the other hand he accuses virologists critical of the stay-at-home orders as being "irresponsible", specially the study by his colleague Dr. Hendrik Streeck. He also changed course when saying "he assumes the statistics are distorted" referring to the government's Robert Koch Institute (RKI) high numbers of tests carried out (leading to a high number of "cases"), which is a bit hypocritical because Drosten worked closely with RKI. He initiated more serious research, he said (after the state of emergency has been declared and our freedoms are gone).

He spilled warnings of a "second wave" and at the same time he told German television: "This virus targets the respiratory system... In the face of the fact, that the disease is relatively mild, the question is: what are we so afraid of?

A Quote by Christian Drosten

Page	Quote	Date
MERS	“the method is so sensitive it can identify a single genetic molecule. If such a pathogen for example were to be found lying dormant in a nurse all day in the mucous membrane of her nose, she would be identified as a MERS case without being ill, or even being aware of it. Where previously only critically ill patients were recorded in the statistics, those with very mild symptoms and even completely healthy people were now included. This what explains the surge in cases in Saudi Arabia. This is further exacerbated by the sensational reporting of the local media.”	2014
