Yes, I believe the Germans are a bit jealous they said they didn't want to be first they wanted to have it right. One would think they would be happy and maybe learn some things from the U.K. Scientists.

Check your Facts...

e.g. here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biontech Biontech is a German start up, Pfitzer is a US Company. So the vaccine is from a German-US source.

The Oxford Astra Zeneca effort is also laudable as are otheres, a quick overview is given here:

Without checking the FACTS: I was repeating a story that was on the news said by one of the German Scientists.

The U.K. at the the end of the day will be the first giving out the vaccines even though Russia has claimed to have already given out 100,000 of the vaccines, did you hear about that?

Oh yea, I just noticed you're from Germany! So are you personally happy about the U.K. being the first?

LOL@ Andy, not my fault the U.K. got there before the U.S.A....By the way when you guys going to be giving out the vaccines? Is your President ever going to admit defeat? What a cry baby he is looking like to the world. I hope you were smart enough not to vote for him. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Germany and the US produced the Pfizer vaccine.
The UK was the first country to approve it for distribution in its country.
Elsewhere, both Russia and China have produced vaccines and approved them for distribution in their own countries.
These are the facts as I understand them. If anyone wants to disagree with these statements, please point me to your source.
