4. I read this on DU in Breaking News forum

"BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin is trying to stop Washington from persuading a German company seeking a coronavirus vaccine to move its research to the United States, prompting German politicians to insist no country should have a monopoly on any future vaccine.

German government sources told Reuters on Sunday that the U.S. administration was looking into how it could gain access to a potential vaccine being developed by a German firm, CureVac."

5. "Depraved" is actually waaaaaaaaay too flattering a word for this MF45.

So many other perfect words come to mind.

So little time.

Dante would have set up many more levels of Hell had he known this MF45 cabal was coming.

Just sayin'.... there's no limit to his malice.

9. How many scientists are working on this? Seems like a crapshoot as to which, if any,

develop a viable vaccine. Heck, there may never be a vaccine.

13. He's been told to clear off apparently:

Dietmar Hopp, skin owner of Tübingen biotech company Curevac, has spoken out against a sale of the company and its research results to America. An exclusive contract with a single country for a corona vaccine, according to his own statements, is out of the question. "If we hope to soon be able to develop an effective vaccine against the coronavirus, this person should be able to reach, protect and help not only regionally but in solidarity around the world," said Hopp on Sunday evening.

The company itself said on Sunday that it was interested in developing a vaccine for everyone in the world and had therefore rejected buying interests. That is why we are now in contact especially with the Cepi Vaccine Alliance and “many other organizations and authorities around the world”. Cepi was founded in 2017 at the suggestion of Chancellor Angela Merkel and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The alliance has already commissioned six facilities to develop a corona vaccine, including Curevac. The Ministry of Research has recently significantly increased the funds for this to 190 million euros.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Research, which also supports Curevac's activities through Cepi, confirmed that the promotion of the development of a vaccine against the Corona virus and medication for the lung disease Covid-19 was "a top priority for Berlin." The Federal Government was in intensive contact with Curevac. “The exclusive sale of a possible vaccine to the United States must be prevented by all means. Capitalism has limits, ”wrote SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach on Twitter.
