I discussed this matter at length yesterday....at least from the starting prospective.
This came up via N-TV early this morning.....after all the Trump-chatter with CureVac and the exclusive deal that was put on the table....the EU itself came to the situation.
Instead of a 'grant' or free-money deal.....the EU rigged up a 'loan' which is figured to be around 80-million Euro (100 million dollars).
To be paid back? Yes, unless someone invents a waiver to this later. So it's not as good as a 'grant' (free money).
Ending the CureVac mess with PR over Trump's talk? Chancellor Merkel has said that the matter is now closed.
If CureVac does invent a vaccine? They will probably make a fair amount of money off of the sales. The problem is that several companies are around and in this process, and all have a staked amount of investment. Each would prefer to be the first at the 'gate'.
