The German laboratory was a research establishment and did not have the finance or know how to run the large trials required to prove vaccine worked, or the production line required to meet demand if the trials were successful.
Hence their partneship with Pfizer who had the money and knowhow to take the research forward.
Turkish husband and wife partnership Özlem Türeci and Ugur Sahin and their company BioNTech were the originators of the vaccine.
