Subject: External Review and request to retract the paper of Corman et al, published in
Eurosurveillance January 23, 2020.
Dear editorial board Eurosurveillance,
We, an international consortium of life-science scientists, write this letter in response to the
article “Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR” published in
Eurosurveillance (January 23rd, 2020) and co-authored by Victor M Corman , Olfert Landt ,
Marco Kaiser , Richard Molenkamp, Adam Meijer, Daniel KW Chu, Tobias Bleicker ,
Sebastian Brünink, Julia Schneider , Marie Luisa Schmidt , Daphne GJC Mulders , Bart L
Haagmans , Bas van der Veer , Sharon van den Brink, Lisa Wijsman, Gabriel Goderski,
Jean-Louis Romette, Joanna Ellis, Maria Zambon, Malik Peiris, Herman Goossens, Chantal
Reusken, Marion PG Koopmans, and Christian Drosten.
This paper (hereafter referred to as “Corman-Drosten paper”), published by
“Eurosurveillance” on 23 January 2020, describes an RT-PCR method to detect the novel
Corona virus (also known as SARS-CoV2). After careful consideration, our international
consortium of Life Science scientists found the Corman-Drosten paper is severely flawed
with respect to its biomolecular and methodological design. A detailed scientific
argumentations can be found in our review “External peer review of the RTPCR test to
detect SARS-CoV2 reveals 10 major scientific flaws at the molecular and methodological
level: consequences for false positive results”, which we herewith submit for publication in
Eurosurveillance.
Further, the submission date and acceptance date of this paper are January 21st and
January 22nd, respectively. Considering the severe errors in design and methodology of the
RT-PCR test published by “Eurosurveillance”, this raises the concern whether the paper was
subjected to peer-review at all.
A previous request from our side (Dr. P. Borger; email 26/10/2020) to the editors of
“Eurosurveillance” to provide the peer review report of the Corman-Drosten paper has not
been complied with. We have enclosed your email reply (dated 18/11/2020) indicating that
you do not wish to disclose important information to solve this conundrum.
We are confident that you will take our scientific objections seriously and recognize that
there is no alternative but to accept our request to retract the Corman-Drosten paper.
