What you need to know about BioNTech, the European company behind Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine

"We are a next-generation immunotherapy company," Sahin told CNBC's "Power Lunch" on Tuesday. "The technology behind this vaccine, the messenger RNA technology, and the vaccine candidates have been developed in Germany."

Sahin went on to explain that BioNTech "took care of the manufacturing of the batches for the clinical trial." BioNTech also specializes in T-cell, a key part of the immune system, and "investigated the T-cell immune responses for this vaccine," according to its chief. Pfizer took care of clinical trials in the U.S. while BioNTech conducted its own trials in Germany, Sahin said, adding that Pfizer was responsible for executing the global late-stage trial that led to the 90% efficacy revelation on Monday.

Dr. Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called that development "a great day for science and humanity." Sahin agrees: "It was a wonderful moment because we didn't expect this high efficacy rate." Those results are subject to an independent review, but provide some promise amid the mammoth global effort to develop an effective vaccine. Still, distribution is likely to prove a challenge: Pfizer's vaccine requires a storage temperature of minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit and cannot be removed more than four times.

And here’s what you really should know. There are only 3 and only 3 manufacturers that underwent all three phases and not the useless accelerated version. They are CURRENTLY awaiting confirmation. They are: Moderna, Gilead, and CanSino Biologics. FULL STOP.

When was last time any of big pharma declined to use their name in any properly trialed medication but touted their affiliate that it bought? But hey feel free to be guinea pigs & grasp at any straw journalists seem to tout. Only 3 manufacturers have undergone ALL trial phases.

Remember Asterzeneca. None of the big pharma vaccines have undergone proper trials. Basically snake oil salesmen meant to increase stock prices. And plasters affiliate name in case of pending lawsuits along with their poster “scientists” to again deflect in case of a lawsuit.😂👍🏻

Still needs to undergo phased trials. Not a vaccine just wishful thinking on part of big pharma attempting to steal wind from 3 bona fide manufacturers who have gone through all trials & await confirmation. They are: Moderna, Gilead, and CanSino Biologics.
