ADDED: In April 2021, Klaas van Dijk filed a FOI request to the ECDC at asktheeu.org to make the external reviews of the Corman-Drosten Review Report public, but the ECDC refused to do so, to protect the privacy of these reviewers. 1/n integralworld.net/visser212.html…
I have added a link to the ensuing correspondence with the ECDC, publisher of Eurosurveillance, the journal in which the original Corman-Drosten paper was published in early 2020. Van Dijk went to great lengths to make these external reviews public. 2/n
By doing so he actually performed a great service to the Borger-Kämmerer consortium, which had tried unsuccessfully to reach the same goal. Did Van Dijk get any credits for this? I don’t think so. 3/n
Anyways, the request was rejected with the motivation that it was not in any public interest to disclose this information. Besides, it was argued, the matter could be and has been discussed on public forums. 4/n
In its response the ECDC points out that much of these reviews of the retraction request by external experts was fully in line with the opinions of Andreas Beyer and Dan Wilson. These can be found on Integral World. Case closed. 5/n
