The chief officer and co-founder of BioNTech was interviewed by CNBC last week. The German firm’s founder said people should walk away from their fears. Of course, the virus will stay with us, but at one point it will disappear.
BioNTech and Pfizer were the first health companies to develop the covid-19 vaccine. Dr. Ozlem Turreci has promised that the journey to managing the virus has started. Many companies are working together to come up with the best ways to manage covid.
Despite giving hope, she said the virus will transform with people. As we force ourselves into our past normal life, we will have to carry it. It’s here to live for a few years.

As per the variant Covid-19 virus coming up, she confirmed that it’s true. Their Covid-19 virus is evolving now and then. People should expect more samples that are resistant to some vaccines. She admitted that the BioNTech team is at the forefront, learning about those mutations. The current variants are very different from the original virus.

The mRNA technology allowed them to use it as a vaccine format. It can communicate with the immune system. The immune system will respond to any awkward virus quickly. The technology had been used for many years, so it was easier to produce accurate results. BioNTech has a team of technicians who know how to treat patients using mRNA technology. Furthermore, the is another team with the knowledge of manufacturing any recommended drugs.
All of this knowledge has helped the company develop the Covid-19 vaccine in less than 1 year. Many countries prioritized their drugs, a report by the co-founder.
