Corona virus vaccine for Americans only?
According to German daily "Die Welt" the United States and Germany are vying to produce an exclusive vaccine against the coronavirus which is being developed in a German laboratory, Die Welt reported Saturday.
The report says the experimental drug would be ‘only for the United States’.
According to the paper, US President Donald Trump is trying to poach German scientists working on an experimental vaccine against a global health threat that has now killed some 5,500 people with a view to having an exclusive licence rolled out in the United States.
Such a vaccine would be “only for the United States,” a source close to the German government told Die Welt, though Berlin would reportedly look to make offers of its own to biotech firm CureVac, based in the German state of Thuringia.

Important Update: It was confirmed by the German government that Mr Trump was trying to persuade the company to move to the US to be able to reserve the vaccine for US citizens only.
