Admits to being the reviewer of the Corman-Drosten Retraction request.

This is 60+ pages discussing Primer Dimers and other primer design problems.

But he just said he didn't look at the primers for this assay??

That is why Anon Peer Review is a Fraud.

@RetractionWatch
Bustin vs Andrew Wakefield.
Bustin testified under oath about the problems with Andrew Wakefields RT-qPCR. This is a big case.

It shares many of the same problems as Drosten?

OK for Drosten.

Not for Wakefield?

There is a difference.

Bustin was paid 220,000 pounds for it.
What is it called when you contradict yourself multiple times under oath?

What is it called when you do it for 220,000 Pounds?

What is it called when you flip flop like this and it shuts down the world?

Still think Anon Peer Review is a good idea?
So was Wakefield rightfully scrutinized and Drosten given a hall pass?

Many of the concerns raised about Wakefields qPCR are significant. But the one most cited (contamination) by Dr. Bustin was not.

He claimed Wakefield omitted an RT-Step.

Bustin is emulating this in 2020.
Wakefield is also nailed for Lack of an SOP.
Same story in the Drosten review.

The proper way to address DNA or RNA contamination is with DNases and RNases.
RT enzymes are active at RTemp and as the cycler ramps its temperature up to 95C.
