That’s great.

Just out of curiosity, which country was it that developed the vaccine?
Wonder why. https://t.co/tv8CjuyqTN
Before 2020, Germany’s BioNTech was a relatively little-known biotechnology company. That all changed when Covid-19 arrived.
On Monday, U.S. drug maker Pfizer announced an early analysis of its coronavirus vaccine — developed in partnership with BioNTech — was more than 90% effective in preventing Covid-19 among those without evidence of prior infection.
Wait, it gets better:
BioNTech (pronounced bye-on-tech) was founded in the city of Mainz in 2008 by husband and wife duo Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci.
Both Sahin and Tureci are the children of Turkish immigrants. Sahin’s father worked at a Ford factory in Cologne while Tureci’s was a doctor. Sahin heads up BioNTech as its CEO while Tureci is the firm’s chief medical officer.
Their entrepreneurial journey began in 2001 when they set up Ganymed Pharmaceuticals, another German biotech firm focused on developing immunotherapeutic cancer drugs. That company was acquired by Japan’s Astellas for up to 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in late 2016.
Which country, Senator?
Asshole. By the way, what the fuck good is a vaccine you can't distribute? Canada says they'll have enough for everybody in Canada, with leftovers to share. The U.S. can't expect more than 200,000 doses from Pfizer, which will treat 100,000 people.
So, what, two small towns in East Texas?
Jackass.
