It was his close associate and co-author\u2019s company (Olfert Landt\u2019s TIB Molbiol) that was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tib-molbiol.de\/covid-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first to come to market<\/a>&nbsp;with the SARS testing kit and then later with the RT-PCR testing kit for SARS-CoV-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marco Kaiser, another co-author of the CD paper, is also a scientific adviser to TIB Molbiol. Though there are clear and significant conflicts of interests, they were not stated in the original CD paper. However, after&nbsp;<em>Eurosurveillance<\/em>\u2019s editorial team were contacted regarding this controversy (and after Drosten and Landt had denied they had a conflict of interest) the paper was finally updated on July 29, 2020, to include the conflict of interest for Landt and Kaiser.&nbsp;Drosten\u2019s name was not included in the conflicts of interests\u2019 statement as one of the editors of&nbsp;<em>Eurosurveillance<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drosten was turned into an overnight star after developing the real time RT- PCR test for SARS-CoV-2, which was accepted as the standard of testing by the World Health Organisation [WHO]. On&nbsp;March 17, 2020, the German weekly magazine&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stern.de\/p\/plus\/gesundheit-wissenschaft\/der-aufklaerer--so-wurde-christian-drosten-zum-wichtigsten-mann-deutschlands-9184616.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Stern<\/em>&nbsp;published an article<\/a>&nbsp;headlined&nbsp;\u2018This is how Christian Drosten became the most important man in Germany.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drosten is&nbsp;the director of the Institute of Virology at Berlin\u2019s Charit\u00e9 hospital, one of Germany\u2019s largest university hospitals, which happens to be a recipient of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatesfoundation.org\/about\/committed-grants?city=Berlin&amp;page=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generous grants<\/a>&nbsp;from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.<a href=\"https:\/\/virologie-ccm.charite.de\/en\/metas\/person_detail\/person\/address_detail\/corman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;Dr Victor Corman<\/a>, the other lead author of the paper, also works at Charit\u00e9\u2019s Institute of Virology. Drosten\u2019s evaluations have heavily influenced German government policy on mandatory mask wearing, school closures and lockdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking into Dorsten\u2019s career history, we find he was heavily involved in Germany\u2019s swine flu controversy in 2009. He predicted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2018<em>It is a widespread viral infection with side-effects far more severe than anyone could imagine from the most dangerous vaccine<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At his urging, hundreds of millions of euros was spent on a rushed-through vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline\u2019s Pandemrix. His doomsday prophecy never came to pass, with only&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2009_swine_flu_pandemic_in_Germany\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30 confirmed swine flu deaths<\/a>&nbsp;in Germany. However&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/health\/coronavirus-vaccine-pandemic-swine-flu-covid-a9693721.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pandemrix<\/a>&nbsp;proved to have severe consequences, with links to narcolepsy in both children and adults.&nbsp;Dorsten\u2019s doomsday prediction echoes that of&nbsp;Professor Neil Ferguson<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativewoman.co.uk\/sages-covert-coup-part-two-project-fear\/\">&nbsp;detailed in my investigation into Sage.<\/a>&nbsp;He similarly warned of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/health-and-families\/health-news\/nhs-prepares-for-65-000-deaths-from-swine-flu-1750091.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">65,000 deaths<\/a>&nbsp;from swine flu in the UK in 2009; in fact only 457 deaths were linked to the virus. Based on Ferguson\u2019s model, the UK government spent&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/health-and-families\/health-news\/swine-flu-outbreak-cost-uk-pound-1-2bn-2015429.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a31.2billion<\/a>&nbsp;to prepare for the swine flu pandemic. More than 20million doses of vaccine were left over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another co-author of the CD research paper is Professor&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maria_Zambon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maria Zambon<\/a>,&nbsp;a British virologist who is a member of Sage and Nervtag and is on the&nbsp;WHO International Health Regulations emergency committee. Zambon is also director of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/virus-reference-department-vrd\">Reference Microbiology for Public Health England<\/a>.&nbsp;She is highly influential, both in the UK and on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativewoman.co.uk\/the-many-scandals-of-the-pcr-test-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Part 1<\/a>&nbsp;of my investigative report, I wrote that the WHO accepted the Corman-Drosten PCR testing protocol (of which Zambon is a co-author) for the novel coronavirus as early as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/docs\/default-source\/coronaviruse\/wuhan-virus-assay-v1991527e5122341d99287a1b17c111902.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">January 13, 2020<\/a>,&nbsp;knowing full well that it had not been peer-reviewed at that stage. It was, however, supposedly \u2018peer-reviewed\u2019 in an unprecedented 24 hours, the time between when the paper was submitted (January 21) and published (January 23) in&nbsp;<em>Eurosurveillance<\/em>. This \u2018official\u2019 peer review has inexplicably never been released, even after repeated requests by an international consortium of scientists. What is also odd is that the WHO did not declare the novel virus to be a pandemic until almost two months later, on March 11, 2020. The question of whether, as a co-author of the CD paper, Zambon\u2019s influential ties with the WHO helped garner their instant approval of it certainly needs asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A close associate of Zambon at PHE\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/virus-reference-department-vrd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virus Reference Department<\/a>&nbsp;(VRD) based in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clinicalvirology.org\/network-directory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colindale<\/a>, London, is Dr Joanna Ellis, another co-author of the CD paper. She works as the scientific lead in the Respiratory Virus Unit (RVU). The VRD is a WHO-accredited national laboratory. It\u2019s hard not to draw the conclusion that both Zambon and Ellis would have heavily influenced the way the UK government responded to the novel virus by quickly implementing a mass testing programme on an epic scale, using the Corman-Drosten protocol of real time RT-PCR testing for the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I discussed in\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativewoman.co.uk\/the-many-scandals-of-the-pcr-test-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 1<\/a>, billions of pounds was spent by the UK government on the country\u2019s mass PCR testing programme that has been proved to be \u2018not fit for purpose\u2019 and a gross waste of taxpayers\u2019 money. What\u2019s even more tragic is the way it\u2019s being used to justify the perpetual lockdowns which have devastated lives and led to hundreds of thousands of non-Covid deaths internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s also interesting to note is that in the CD paper published in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurosurveillance.org\/content\/10.2807\/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.3.2000045#html_fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Eurosurveillance<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em>&nbsp;the authors claimed&nbsp;\u2018before public release of virus sequences from cases of 2019-nCoV,&nbsp;<strong>we relied on social media reports<\/strong>&nbsp;[<em>my emphasis<\/em>] announcing detection of a SARS-like virus. We thus assumed that a SARS-related CoV is involved in the outbreak\u2019.&nbsp;They go on to report&nbsp;that \u2018we downloaded all complete and partial SARS-related virus sequences available in GenBank&nbsp;<strong>by 1 January 2020<\/strong>\u2019. This appears to be a significant anomaly as the research paper begins by stating:&nbsp;\u2018A novel coronavirus currently termed 2019-nCoV was officially announced as the causative agent by Chinese authorities on&nbsp;<strong>7 January<\/strong>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s highly questionable why, more than a week before the Chinese authorities officially announced a novel coronavirus named 209-nCoV (later renamed SARS-CoV-2) as \u2018the causative agent\u2019, the co-authors decided to \u2018rely\u2019 on social media that a SARS-like virus had been detected. The next step they took was to download all the SARS related sequences \u2018by January 1\u2019 to develop an RT-PCR test designed to detect this new virus whose genome sequence was not officially been published until January 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;In November, 2020, the 22-strong&nbsp;International Consortium of Scientists in Life Sciences (ICSLS)&nbsp;officially challenged the Corman-Drosten (CD) paper, submitting their own external peer review to&nbsp;<em>Eurosurveillance<\/em>. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theirishsentinel.com\/2021\/02\/25\/scientists-show-covid-tests-are-useless-are-based-on-flawed-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lead author was Dr Pieter Borger<\/a>&nbsp;and among the co-authors was Dr Michael Yeadon, former vice president of Pfizer. I referenced this in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativewoman.co.uk\/the-many-scandals-of-the-pcr-test-part-1\/\">Part 1<\/a>,&nbsp;saying that the external peer review found ten major flaws of the RT-PCR test in detecting SARS-CoV-2. They strongly criticised the CD paper for not undergoing a legitimate peer review and for its \u2018flawed science\u2019, and they called its authors \u2018intellectually dishonest\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings me to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/albertapressleader.ca\/?p=32211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Reiner Fuellmich<\/a>, a top German and US trial lawyer, who has won unprecedented lawsuits against Deutsche Bank and Volkswagen. He is leading a team of 34 lawyers the group is called Stiftung Corona Ausschuss \u2013 (the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry) seeking to prosecute global officials over Covid-19 lockdowns in the largest class-action lawsuit in history. The lawsuits will be launched in Canada and the US, and then can be joined by \u2018all affected parties worldwide\u2019. In fact, the first lawsuit has been started in Norway..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A February 2021 article in the&nbsp;<em>Alberta Press<\/em>&nbsp;states that the suit will \u2018target those they believe are responsible for the lockdowns, from local level politicians to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and pharmaceutical companies. They seek damages for people negatively impacted by lockdowns, saying it is a deliberate crime against humanity and must be legally qualified as crimes against humanity, as defined in Section 7 of the International Criminal Code.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fuellmich explains:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2018<\/strong><em>Our focus is upon the PCR test because if we manage to convince a court of law that this is a fraudulent PCR test being marketed with the assertion that it can detect infection \u2013 if we can convince a court of law that this is a false statement \u2013 then the whole house of cards is going to come crashing down<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a video presentation posted on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hfhCEwbRRsI&amp;t=1s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>&nbsp;in October 2020 Fuellmich explains how since July 2020 he and his team have been listening to the testimonies of a large number of international scientists and experts \u2018<em>to find answers to questions about the corona crisis that people worldwide are asking<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hfhCEwbRRsI?start=1&amp;feature=oembed He goes on to argue why \u2018<em>this corona crisis must be renamed a <\/em><em>corona scandal <\/em><em>and <\/em>[why]<em>those responsible for it must be criminally prosecuted and sued for civil damages . . . so that no one will ever again be in a position of such power as to be able to defraud humanity with their corrupt agendas<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I for one cannot wait to see how this case will unfold.&nbsp; Humanity is counting on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Sonia Elijah \u2013 published in \u2019Conservative Woman\u2019 \u2013 1st April 2021 IN Parts&nbsp;1&nbsp;and&nbsp;2&nbsp;of this series, I investigated the failings of the real time RT-PCR test in detecting Covid-19 and the controversies associated with the Corman-Drosten research paper that published its workings.
