Vaccines for kids for a virus that is less lethal than the flu for that age group????

Has the world gone mad?

Preplanned target of 80% vaccinated population for 'herd immunity', started with frontline workers, healthcare workers, NS slaves and old farts. Progressively moving down the age range for their vaccine 'invitations'. Due to recent outbreak of cases in schools, decided to skip straight to the teens. Scores lots of points with those kiasi parents.

Politics > healthcare.

That's pretty much the gist of it.

Temasek has investment in these vaccines. So the more people vaccinated, the merrier.

SafeEntry, Tracetogether etc.

'Endemic' = 'new normal' = masks and surveillance to continue.

Temasek-led investor group in US$250 million vaccine bet on BioNTech​

FRANKFURT: BioNTech said Singapore's Temasek and other investors are injecting US$250 million into the German biotech firm through a private placement, reflecting heightened investor appetite for promising developers' vaccines against the coronavirus.

The company, which went public on the US Nasdaq in October last year, said the investors would purchase about US$139 million in ordinary shares and US$112 million in four-year mandatory convertible notes.


The investors are in for an early reckoning because BioNTech has said it expects first clinical data on its COVID-19 vaccine development programme known as BNT162 this month or in July.

The transaction would increase the number of shares outstanding by 2.6 million from 226.8 million shares as per end of March, resulting in a combined stake of 1.1 per cent for the investor group once all notes are converted.
BioNTech, which is also working on personalised cancer vaccines, would not say how much of the total is attributed to Singapore state investment company Temasek.

BioNTech and its partner Pfizer launched testing programmes involving humans in April and May.

Domestic rival vaccine developer CureVac, in which the German government is taking a 23 per cent stake, is planning an initial public offering in the United States next month. US peer Translate Bio has attracted France's Sanofi as an investor in a deal worth as much as US$2 billion.

BioNTech, which awarded the rights to BNT162 in China to Shanghai Fosun under a March collaboration deal, is competing with CureVac as well as US biotech firms Moderna and Translate Bio in the race to develop messenger-RNA vaccines.
These molecules act as recipes designed to instruct human cells to produce antigen proteins. That would allow the immune system to develop an arsenal against future coronavirus infections.
