the loony trump

The Trump administration has offered a German medical company “large sums of money” for exclusive access to a Covid-19 vaccine, German media have reported.

The German government is trying to fight off what it sees as an aggressive takeover bid by the US, the broadsheet Die Welt reports, citing German government circles.

The US president had offered the Tübingen-based biopharmaceutical company CureVac “large sums of money” to gain exclusive access to their work, wrote Die Welt.

According to an anonymous source quoted in the newspaper, Trump was doing everything to secure a vaccine against the coronavirus for the US, “but for the US only”.

^He is genuinely the most disgusting POS that has ever been potus.

this will finish him
even America 1st has turned into Donald 1st

Thats what the 13 yr old said.

The vaccine is about to land so all is well

And people will not offer an apology to anyone who tried to tell you its all b0llocks

times/mail reporting doris and co have given up worried sick haunted if we have more deaths than Europe, its here and they don't no what to do, and of course it wouldn't be a tory leak without a crass remark saying ironically we,re killing our own voters
doris doesn't hide his emotions well be keeping an eye out for his next press briefing,he didn't sign up for any of this

I predict we'll all still be here by October

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it, these cants will need a bucket and a sponge after this is done

Obsessed with political point scoring.

btw surely it is know and not 'no', only a delinquent would think different.

So many experts on here that dont shy from there real motive, point scoring when people are dying around them, the left are very sick indeed.

Sort of hoped British people were above trash and posting sh1te.

rofl the right wingers on here are all moaning that it's all a hoax.

Is the most disgusting thing I have heard in this entire outbreak and not condemning it is almost as disgusting.

And you believe it.

multiple sources are reporting it, the american ceo of the company (now sacked) met with trump earlier this month, the german government are confirming it.

And you don't believe it.

The virus wasn't real originally,then it was the Dems fault,then there was a vaccine available and now its a shutdown,trump talks as much sh1te as johnson,it's just relentless garbage..

20k extra U.S troops sent to Europe for large scale "exercises".  Strange that I thought Europe was on the verge of a pandemic.

Merkel reportedly offered the same German company money for exclusive rights to the vaccine before Trump did but no outrage or even headlines about it. That is good leadership imo, looking after the only people you are responsible for. There will not be enough vaccine for everyone initially. Would you not want or even expect that from your leader? His job is to save as many Americans as he can, same with any leader.

And the Trump reports called it a bribe too. You don't bribe someone by offering to buy something from them legitimately and at arms length. You buy something at a massive overvalue because the payment is really not related to the product you are buying at all and is a payment for something else.

The distorted views of the left , a country's leaders main responsibility is to its people.
Not to every undemocratic lawless sh!thole on the planet.

Willing to send Military to build a medieval wall but not to help citizens. Clueless!

Now we've got dumb Devin Nunes offering advice that contradicts every health expert. Doh!

That’s not true, is it.
The UK government claim to be following expert medical advice and bars and restaurants haven’t been closed in the UK, have they.

lurka's comment about Merkel not being berated is correct, but you won't deter the rabid left from playing politics while people are dying. They can't help themselves, such is their bitterness.

erm, this is point scoring....

^^there are no reports that merkel tried to get the company to produce the vaccine exclusively for germany, only that they offered money to thwart the trump effort, so why should she be berated?  btw merkel and her party are centre right not left wing.

Anyway as I said the same posters who post bigoted bile day and night on this forum were also posting that this virus was nothing and a hoax, so I think it's obvious who the "rabid" ones are.

Doesn't exist apparently,thats why the tories did nothing for a month then went for the crazy herding theory,abandined 24 hours later lets hope it doesn't cost hundreds of lives a month late..

3 ducks in a row there, if the cap fits..........

Wonder when the disinfections will start,crazy nothings happening absolute zilch..

so is that it?

saddo - little politics pauper is stalking you.

I noticed that yesterday but didn't mention it.

His usual procedure is to copy and paste something you said, then make a negative or snide remark.

The only way to stop him is to do the same to him, but be careful because he wants you to go too far so that he can report you.

Someone's projecting again.

It surprises me that people have nothing better to do than hammer out their negativity for 16 hours a day in times of potential crisis Dr, all hopping between the Guardian, C4 news and BBC websites no doubt. I think this country will not reunite in my lifetime.

Curevac is owned 80% by a Dietmar Hopp owned investment firm. Hopp loves Germany and is an overall good lad

source?

and lurka, good leadership isn't to reserve a vaccine for yourself. Buying all rights to it and making it open access would be.

like you for example?

The German health minister, Jens Spahn, said a takeover of CureVac by the Trump administration was “off the table”. CureVac would only develop vaccine “for the whole world”, Spahn said, “not for individual countries”.

Really thrilled to know lurka's source for his claims on Merkel/german government trying to buy exclusive rights.

I am busy outside making things politicspunter. You should try going outside for a bit of fresh air, it might help you relax and stop fretting so much.

...please?

It was in the original article

The German government was reportedly offering its own financial incentives for the vaccine to stay in the country.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/15/trump-offers-large-sums-for-exclusive-access-to-coronavirus-vaccine

That has nothing about exclusive rights. In fact, directly below what you quoted it says

The German health minister Jens Spahn said that a takeover of the CureVac company by the Trump administration was “off the table”. CureVac would only develop vaccine “for the whole world”, Spahn said, “not for individual countries”.

He would say that

Germany exports everything, you know that. We like to share our creations with the far less gifted like you British...if the price is right

But seriously, as you can see from my post near the top, I was selective with my extract, knowing that the usual suspects would seek any crumb, regardless how small, to leap to the defence of the un-defendable Trumpton.
