1/ Three years of destroyed economies, social isolation and deep social splits call for another anniversary ⬇️𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱⬇️ to celebrate the RT-qPCR manuscript by Christian Drosten (@c_drosten) & Victor Corman (@vmcorman), submitted on 21st Jan 2020 to @Eurosurveillanc. 
2/ Before this publication, virologists were neither treated like superstars nor considered icons or half-gods. In 2009, Drosten almost succeeded in installing the false premise virology could supersede holistic medical sciences as discussed in this thread.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…
3/ Drosten is a virologist. He neither has any background in epidemiology nor has he ever worked in the civil service. He also doesn’t have an experience in public health. Yet he affected our daily lives to the level of whom to trust, meet up with or how to flush the toilet.
