Lets all thanks the founders of *BioNTech* Uğur Şahin & Özlem Türec. Uğur Şahin is the main founder he was born in Turkey and immigrated too Germany at age 4 and Özlem Türeci her parents were born also in Turkey that immigrated too Germany where she was without them *BioNTech* would have never existed thus vaccines.. and all of the enormous achievements they have for Germany would have been accomplished way later perhaps "too late"... Uğur Şahin & Özlem Türec immediately decided too start investing for the new virus that they have read on news from china too finding/creating the vaccine and called the project " *light speed* " 👍

Why is going to test it on himself? He seems healthy and communicating with a reporter without any PPE (if he’s infected)

Cheers and congratulations for rising up to the China Virus challenge. 👍 Your efforts mean a lot.

Hopefully, with this vaccine, we will be able to celebrate next Easter, Oktoberfest and all festivals of God, as usual, without having to discard normal human contact.
