Biontech research team based in Germany partnered with America for logistics and to get wider testing samples, the development work was done in Germany. The Oxford-AZ vaccine developed at Oxford university by a British-Swedish company AZ traded on the FTSE, not sure where America is involved there. The Janssen vaccine (J+J) was developed in Leiden, Netherlands, although the company is owned by an American company. Moderna was developed in the US. The actual work for most of those vaccines was done in Europe. With the exception of Morderna, America was there as the money men. Whoppee. Not really surprising, the best minds in America are figuring out how to get us to click on another youtube video to consume an advert, or to create a new financial derivative to gamble with peoples pensions more.

  I don’t know BioNTech, but J&J and AZ employ thousands of US scientists (AZ has 14k American employees as per their job site). Moderna is quite a large success to brush aside.

Agreed, it was a worldwide collaboration, as are most things now. Makes no sense to credit any country
