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

BERLIN - .

Responding to the report, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, wrote on Twitter: “The Welt story was wrong.” German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told a news conference that the government’s coronavirus crisis committee would discuss the CureVac case on Monday. CureVac’s main investor Dietmar Hopp said he was not selling and wanted CureVac to develop a coronavirus vaccine to “help people not just regionally but in solidarity across the world.”

She cited Germany’s foreign trade law, under which Berlin can examine takeover bids from non-EU, so-called third countries “if national or European security interests are at stake”.Florian von der Muelbe, CureVac’s chief production officer and co-founder, told Reuters last week the company had started with a multitude of coronavirus vaccine candidates and was now selecting the two best to go into clinical trials.

CureVac in 2015 and 2018 secured financial backing for development projects from its investor the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, working on shots to prevent malaria and influenza.

I am praying that whatever company, in whatever country, succeeds in a viable vaccine will sell the formula to every country... let them make their billions from the governments and not off the backs of dying people

Between 'Germany and the US' or Germany and Trump Inc.?

Trump is desperate to take credit for 'leading the US in finding coronavirus cure/vaccine' And it makes us wonder, is Covid_19 a biotech weapon? Bring in your conspiracy theories. COVID19 CoronaVirusSA coronaviruskenya CoronaVirusUpdates

Sounds like it would be a beneficial move for both Germany and the United States. The only drawback may be the restriction the FDA puts on conducting live trials. Germany may ease human testing requirements which would speed a vaccine.

If I were a German working at Deutsche Bank, I'd be fuming...

Doesn’t surprise me at all, guy’s a scumbag

Disgusting

Evil or lunacy?

That's not a very charitable thing to Mr Fart

Nice way to make America great again.

Now trump is putting his stench upon USA. WE ARE NOT A NATION OF DISHONEST SNEAKY GRABBY PEOPLE

Would be better if all the countries go together and find a cure, all work together as one. But that would be to easy

Us gov the mother of all evil on earth always trying to suffocate interfere control and run someone down to the ground

Thank you, President Trump

Germans will invent a vaccine for Coronavirus is just like the Chinese government claims. American companies Moderna, VIR and EBS are in a much better position

realDonaldTrump was trying to take total control so only he would have the vaccine and he could sell it to other countries and make money for himself. He doesn’t want the vaccine for us he won’t even get us test kits. When it does get developed he won’t buy it for us either.

Round them up and transfer to Ft. Bliss like Wernher Von Braun and his engineers.

Trump not Washington. Do better.

Oh screw those Germans. The US has a trial vaccine starting Monday in Seattle.

Follow the money. Especially in a crisis.

I’m certain whatever lab that figures it out will give accessibility to regardless of country it’s discovered in . Common sense says so in the name of humanity

GTCost Human nature is survival of the fittest, neanderthals don't evolve to the point where they realise that others deserve to survive too. Luckily, our German friends understand that survival trumps money and won't sell us out. No worries fellow Europeans!

Too stupid to do it yourselves....bravo

slowberlin I'd rather move to Berlin than have the company move here.

Whoa! That's dangerous thinking 😰

And at realDonaldTrump this is why the rest of the world thinks your a plonker

They are not „trying“ - they did it already. And it wasn‘t the government, but the owner - a billionaire and soccer-boss. Maybe change your headline, colleagues?

US capitals are urging it's government to work on desirable future profits

No surprise here: a grifting con is trying to buy a possible C/V vaccine to the exclusion of the rest of the globe, so that he and his rich friends can try to obtain an exclusive patent. He continues to relentlessly pursue that 'Nobel Peace Prize'.

greedy americans .they want all the credits on everything

This is not surprising. Trump wants to make sure he gets credit for discovering the vaccine.

JUST STOP ALL OF THE GREED. WORK TOGETHER PEOPLE! Please, and thank you.

There goes the shadow of Trump: make a deal for his cronies... I’m glad that Germany has world wide interests and stumps Trump’s greed ...

Scum

Trump is now trying to grab the vaccine. That man is a hopeless case.

Do nothing Trump administration that called this a hoax now desperate for a cure that it can’t develop because it cut funding.

So, we are gonna be playing the dirty politics with finding a cure to a virus that has the potential to wipe us off the face of the earth. Let's save ourselves from ourselves

So why are they fighting to keep them in Germany

No Donald, not yet, sorry. Dietmar is a real German and Germany 1st ... sorry
