The Gates Biontech Connection: The promise of mRNA vaccines
The Gates Foundation gave some of the first funding for mRNA vaccines a decade ago, in support of German-Turkish researchers Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Türeci. They created a company in Germany, BioNTech, with the plan of working on mRNA vaccines for cancer. BioNTech went on to create the first U.S. authorized COVID-19 vaccine in conjunction with Pfizer.
