Upon finding the vaccine against the Corona virus, Dr. Özlem Türeci and Prof. Dr. Uğur Şahin stated that the company’s employees have not yet been vaccinated.
Turkish doctors made new statements about their work.
When asked if the vaccine they produced with Pfizer was made to employees of the BioNTech company, the Şahin-Türeci couple answered “Not yet.”
“We are not allowed to vaccinate due to clinical regulations,” Şahin said, “the vaccine can only be administered within clinical trials at this time. And company employees cannot participate in clinical trials. That means we can access the vaccine when other people have access to it, “said Şahin.
RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S CLAIM
The two also weighed in on the claim that the discovery of the vaccine was announced late for US President Donald Trump to lose the election.
Özlem Türeci said: “Here in Germany, we have no interest in delaying or interfering with the American elections,” he used the following statements:
“You know, clinical trials are very regulatory and that’s not something you can really delay, stop, or speed up.”
“WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN POLITICS”
Uğur Şahin used the following statements regarding the claim:
“We are not interested in politics. At the end of the day, our interest is to develop this vaccine as quickly as possible. We have to follow ethical standards and follow scientific standards.
I learned about the results of the activity on Sunday evening and we announced the results the next morning. This was such important information that our team, our press team, worked through the night to deliver the proper news.
So at the end of the day, we act with science, we act according to our own standards. This does not coincide with any political agenda. “
