Your COVID-19 Vaccine Was Likely Made by an Immigrant
The development of a COVID-19 vaccine is a global endeavor. The scientists and entrepreneurs creating the vaccine are of many nationalities and immigration statuses as are the millions of people impacted by the pandemic who are anxiously awaiting a vaccine.
The three pharmaceutical companies with vaccines near-ready for distribution BioNTech, Pfizer, and Moderna were all founded by immigrants.
Consider the partnership between the German company BioNTech SE and the American company Pfizer Inc., which has now completed a working vaccine.
BioNTech was founded by a husband-wife team of Turkish origin Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci one of whom was brought to Germany from Turkey as a child, while the other was born in Germany to a Turkish father.
