Better than expected. It’s still not approved because it’s too early. We need to wait for more results.
And that is because it would be unethical to give one group placebo, one group the vaccine and than expose them to Corona.
So the participants just live their life and some get infected.
That’s why it’s slow. A totalitarian system would just expose everyone to Corona and see the deaths of the people from the control group as collateral damage.
Biontech is a company from our region here ( 25 minutes from me) so people are excited. Plus, the founders are a married couple of scientists who are both children of Turkish immigrants. That’s pretty cool, because we also have anti immigration idiots here.

Absolutely unrelated, but I like to feel cool,
