Before the pandemic, BioNTech was a small biotech company primarily focused on developing novel cancer treatments. Here's how BioNTech emerged as a powerhouse in the Covid vaccine race. Watch the full video here:

Though it was over a month and a half before the World Health Organization officially declared a pandemic, Sahin met with his wife, BioNTech's co-founder and chief medical officer Özlem Türeci. Together, they agreed to redirect most of the company's resources to developing a vaccine.

"He approached me and explained his thoughts and his fears," Türeci said. "And it was immediately clear to both of us that the technology we had, and which we had already clinically developed, that could help to ensure a rapid response." Up until that point, BioNTech was primarily focused on developing novel cancer treatments. The company was little-known internationally. But the founders were confident in the potential of their mRNA technology, which they knew could trigger a powerful immune response. BioNTech knew that to successfully produce, test and manufacture a Covid vaccine on a global scale, it would need a bigger partner.

, having worked with them since 2018 to develop an mRNA-based flu vaccine, which is in clinical trials. So, BioNTech turned to them.

Y’all are sick.

The only FDA approved drug Biontech has is the COVID jab with Pfizer which, honestly, will never make it to the manufacturing stage. Just like Modern -- ZERO FDA drugs.

Who runs BioNTech?

It's amazing how BioNTech pivoted and played a crucial role in the Covid vaccine development! Their work with Pfizer on the mRNA vaccine has had a significant impact on the global fight against the pandemic.

You had a good job CNBC.

The CIA.

They produced one of the most ineffective vaccines compared to other vaccines around the world. One thing they did right was being able to spend massively on PR agencies and bribe prominent Western politicians.

Bill Gates pump and dump.

Somebody knew something that we don’t !!

Criminals.

And all based on fraud. They had the data that showed these weren’t vaccines and would not in any way stop the spread. They also had the data on the blood clotting and heart disease caused by the clot shots. It’s coming out, finally.

$GOVX has the same background in cancer vaccines

Nice

Stop calling it a vaccine 💉! You better add “experimental” before that !

let me guess... nepotism?

The style is simple n cells is to strengthen Boosts immunity and cures cancer Immunity continues during treatmen

From the beginning, the coronavirus was everywhere. Suddenly there was an operation between Ukraine and Russia. And the coronavirus. Puff - the end.

It would be easy, cheap, safe & more effective to ship & deliver billions of Vaxart‘s Covid19 💊 vaccines & boosters to everyone. Why hasn’t the 🇺🇸 invested in a scalable solution that targets mucosal immunity that could prevent infection & transmission?

Why is the fda slow walking the Novavax vaccine

Biden's Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Sinopec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. In 2015, a private equity firm Hunter Biden cofounded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing.

It would be easy, cheap, & more effective to ship & deliver billions of Vaxart Covid19 💊 vaccines & boosters to every person! It’s worth investing in an actual scalable solution that could stop infection & transmission & end this pandemic.

Why aren't they targeting the pathogens genetic material?

Their next big project is vaccines in metaverse

Again your wrong. CNBC Actually it was .BarneyGrahamMD who created COVID in 2017 for different strain. You can read it this book Amazon Longshot: The Inside Story of the Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine.

If vaccines are not working well and have to repeat the boosters, then the government and Fauci the NEVER scientist should not put mandate policies to American people!!!!

will be neat one day it becomes a player in oncology and people will be reminded that it started gain traction first in something called covid :)

Killers

WHO & CDC & Health authorities around world are treating Covid-19 Pandemic as if it’s Common Cold, which is catastrophic because Covid-19 Pandemic is biological warfare caused by virus made in laboratory as bioweapon & correct strategy to fight it start with recognising this fact

Fake News.

Like all smh big time hoax people starting to see it

$$$ and no Liability

Pfizer can’t be trusted. READ:A subcontractor in charge of clinical trials of Pfizer's vaccine accused them of bad practice. Calling in question efficacy & safety of Pfizer’s vaccine. We’ll stick with MODERNA thank you very much. Not reported by CNBC why?

Moderna Edges Pfizer in Study of Five Covid Vaccines. Eat it CNBC

Since 2010, Moderna has focused on building our mRNA technology platform by leveraging the role mRNA plays in instructing cells to create proteins. Eat it CNBC.

Question needs an answer: Why is CNBC always touting Pfizer a proven ineffective vaccine maker when they could be lauding MODERNA the undisputed king of vaccines. Hmm. How much Pfizer stock do it execs own. Promoting their self interest. Wolf in sheeps’ clothing.😉

Before pandemic MODERNA was a small company manufacturing proper vaccines for cancer to Ebola & is still doing same for COVID — a MASTER. So we’ll trust Moderna and not your paid for advertising promoting a rubbish vaccine maker. Pfizer/Biontech jack of all trades master of NONE.

Interesting.

...meanwhile in 2011 at MIT and thru funding provided by NIH and DARPA, Todd Riders DRACO successfully eliminated 15 viruses including the flu and Dengue Fever. Why wasn't this ever looked at as a treatment?

The current 💉 do not 🛑 infection or transmission. Vaxart has a COVID19 💊 vaccine & booster that is room temperature stable with mucosal immunity that could stop infection and transmission! No 💉. Why hasn’t the 🌍 invested in this scalable solution to end this pandemic?

if you continue run your business all your life just focus on a one business some period can get a chance to make a fortune but that was extraordinary

this is terrible news

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_Jones39 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him

thanks
