  • As COVID-19 spread, BioNTech cofounders Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci had one goal: to make a safe, effective vaccine faster than ever before. In this illuminating conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, the immunologists (and married couple) share the fascinating story of how their decades of mRNA research powered the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine -- and forecast what this breakthrough science could mean for the future of vaccines and other immunotherapy treatments.

    Such an inspiring couple, humble and dedicated scientists! The world appreciates what you did and will never forget forever. What inspired me the most is that they started working on the vaccine right after they heard a new virus arising in China, before it spreads to the World, and before we know about aggressiveness and clinical significance. As a scientist, they have all the qualities including foresight. Proud as a Turkish doctor who is trying to be a physician-scientist in the future.

      „Interestingly, however, the BNT162b2 vaccine also modulated the production of inflammatory cytokines by innate immune cells upon stimulation with both specific (SARS-CoV-2) and non-specific (viral, fungal and bacterial) stimuli.“ - Link Originalstudie
      Alexander Kekulé, Virologe: "Es ist wohl so, dass durch die Impfung Abwehrmechanismen gegen bestimmte Viren und Bakterien gebremst werden. Das heißt, ich impfe gegen Sars-Cov-2 und es gibt eine Aktivierung der Antwort auf das neue Virus. Parallel aber wird die Antwort auf andere Viren gebremst. Gegen diese andere Viren ist man dann weniger gut immun.“

      Hmm, I respect that some people does not have confidence in the effectiveness of the vaccines and thus reject it. In my own case the conclusion was that the mRNA vaccine was a better alternative than risking to become infected and transmitting the virus onto others - thus it is also in respect to my fellow citizens. In Denmark the authorities recommend the most of the population to get vaccinated. I put trust in our ministries and those experts who acts as advisers. Does any credible sources point at any major risks in getting vaccinated? To be honest I don't think so but I might be wrong.
