Is the CureVac vaccine a bin? Then we produce it in Italy. Incredible news!

In recent days, we published the news of the failure of the CureVac mRNA vaccine, which was only 47% effective, so it is a vaccine bin. There have also been controversies in Germany because the German state had invested 300 million in the company which, in the meantime, has practically halved its value.

Can there be anything worse than investing in a vaccine without knowing it can fail or not? Yes, investing when you know that it has already failed and this, if what Corriere della Sera says is true, is what Italy risks doing.

According to what the Courier said:

The government is at an advanced stage of discussions with the German CureVac for the start-up of a vaccine production plant for Covid-19 and a research center in Italy. After months of contacts, a meeting was held this week in which the authorities in Rome and the representatives of the group based in Boston and Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, addressed some of the most relevant aspects of the project. No insurmountable obstacles seem to have emerged: although the latest tests of the CureVac vaccine on a large sample of the population in Europe and Latin America have not gone as hoped, the two sides seem determined to continue developing the investment .

The production capacity should be hundreds of millions of doses also for export .. The export of what? A big bin, a vaccine that doesn't even cover 50%?

The government should provide soft loans to Curevac to help build this manufacturing capacity. To do what? The situation is paradoxical, ridiculous: national vaccines, such as the UniMI VisMederi one, have not been financed, but a bankruptcy company is being financed for export.

For heaven's sake we are not alone, even the UK wanted to finance CureVac, and even Bayer, after the great success of the purchase of Monsanto, had reached agreements with the company from Tübingen. But let's avoid investing in a company that is certainly bankrupt.
