Professor Hendrik Streeck defends himself on charges that he has commercialized a study of corona infections in the Heinsberg district. The virologist even admits that “he was personally beaten.”
Bonn virologist Hendrik Streeck has strongly rejected allegations that he had his study of the crown infection process marketed in the Heinsberg district. “It wasn’t marketing,” Streeck said Wednesday on the state health committee.
“Personally, I was surprised to see it that way.” He had created a studio “in record time”, and then it was no longer the studio, but he was supposed to be concerned about loosening the crown’s restrictions.
Public relations work through the Berlin agency
Streeck said he was in a situation where “an incredible number of people” were interested in the spread of the coronavirus. He no longer knew how to handle all emails and was therefore grateful that someone “looked over his shoulder”. Today he knew: “He got stupid.” He also had “sleepless nights”.
Public relations work for the Heinsberg studio of the Berlin agency Storymachine had drawn criticism. The study was commissioned by the NRW state government.
A research team led by Streeck surveyed 919 residents in 405 households in Gangelt on the Dutch border and conducted crown tests. After a carnival session in mid-February, many local citizens became infected with the new virus. Therefore, the community is considered the epicenter of the virus in NRW. However, the situation is only partially comparable with other regions of Germany.
