Christian Drosten Explains: Why Isolating SARS-CoV-2 Is So Unique!

„We also tried this for a long time, to isolate viruses in cell cultures. We never succeeded. That's how it is for many labs around the world that have tried. Zhengli Shi is actually the only lab back in Wuhan that managed to do that, to isolate a virus for once.[....] I know Zhengli Shi used the ones in the lab for that as well. Here you have to say, when you do this, practically the first thing that happens with the SARS-2 virus is that this furin site in the virus is destroyed. So when we isolate SARS-2 virus in Vero cells from patients, that furin site goes away immediately because that's a selection disadvantage for the virus in cell culture.“

"If you listen to the general public, the world is repeatedly plagued by terrible viral epidemics. The latest horror story dominating the headlines is the so-called coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. And the population is also being terrorized with frightening reports about measles, swine flu, bird flu (H5N1), SARS, hepatitis C, AIDS, polio, and BSE. However, what is overlooked is that the existence and pathogenic/lethal effects of these “pathogens” have never been proven. The fact that the medical establishment and the media that follow it nevertheless claim that the evidence has been provided is solely due to the fact that a few decades ago, direct virus detection was abandoned in favor of indirect “detection” methods (including antibody and PCR tests). However, “modern” methods of virus detection such as PCR “say nothing about how a virus replicates, which animal carries this virus, or how it makes people sick,” as more than a dozen critical top virologists note in the journal Science. “It's like looking at a person's fingerprints to determine if they have bad breath.”" Torsten Engelbrecht | Claus Köhnlein

"I’m aware this two page backgrounder & experimental proposal aims to show whether or not viruses exist, focussing on SARS-CoV-2. I’m a signatory because, having given a lot of thought to the entire proposition, I now believe it’s yet another of the lies to which we’ve been subject. In the case of scientists, even those in commercial drug discovery, have taken as fact that viruses exist without ever reviewing the original papers." Dr Mike Yeadon

"We are not witnessing viral epidemics; we are witnessing epidemics of fear. And both the media and the pharmaceutical industry carry most of the responsibility for amplifying fears, fears that happen, incidentally, to always ignite fantastically profitable business. Research hypotheses covering these areas of virus research are practically never scientifically verified with appropriate controls. Instead, they are established by "consensus." This is then rapidly reshaped into a dogma, efficiently perpetuated in a quasi-religious manner by the media, including ensuring that research funding is restricted to projects supporting the dogma, excluding research into alternative hypotheses. An important tool to keep dissenting voices out of the debate is censorship at various levels ranging from the popular media to scientific publications." Etienne de Harven

"We cannot vaccinate our way out of the pandemic. [...] We are currently vaccinating against a variant that no longer exists. [...] Where we no longer have any real protective effect. It was a mistake from the outset to say that we had protection against infection." Prof. Dr. Hendrik Streeck
