The paper hasnt fully been published yet, it still seems to be a Preprint
Even if the drug would work, it will not soon be availible if it first needs medical trials, production and so on, but their work could to be an importand step for creating a Corona vaccine in the future.

There have also been some rumors around that CureVac (from Tübingen) was getting $$$ Millions from German ministry to do a Corona vaccine and the hassle about the sales rights starts: D. Trump tries to buy & hire all the CureVac scientists so that they may create the vaccine exclusivly for USA -> whereas the local politicans try (with $) to keep the company+scientists in Germany.
It´s ridiclous to see even if a worldwide pandemia happens that countries dont really work together and just against each other.

I heard about that, I think it’s awful to try to get a vaccine exclusively for one country. How could that thought even have crossed his mind. Vaccines should be available for all of us worldwide.

The Trump + CuraVac highjacking story is today one off the leading headlines in Germany:

We really have lazy politicans, but the problem for Trump is that he isnt any close to be in vogue and favoured in Germany like Obama was times ago. So, I guess the local politicans + autorities will try everything so that he cant touch with his fingers CuraVac.
I am not finally sure, what to think about that countries begin some bickering about a company that still claims to be able to make the vaccine, but didnt have any single vaccine dosage ready.
