#1 I wonder how she feels about the new communism/socialism that is running like a deadly mental virus among the young people these days.

#2 I thought the media has been pushing stories that the vaccine was the work of a 100% Wakandan team of scientists.

The modern-day Curies: Meet the scientist couple behind 90% effective COVID-19 vaccine
Ozlem Tureci and Ugur Sahin are rapidly becoming the most celebrated marriage in science since Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radioactivity.

The German-Turkish couple are on the brink of claiming the first effective coronavirus vaccine but, like their predecessors, they ride everywhere on bikes, are not interested in the billions of dollars they could make from their discovery and are happiest working together in their white lab coats, even on their wedding day. Like Marie Curie, they are immigrants, their parents both came to Germany from Turkey as part of the guest worker program, and they may yet share a Nobel prize after their company, BioNTech — along with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer — announced Monday their COVID vaccine is more than 90 percent effective.
