I believe Angela Merkel is a scientist by trade....lets hope their checks and balances are sound. But this is promising. Whilst a lot of people are doubtful of an early vaccine, I think we will be surprised at what can be achieved when we focus on a common cause.

"First approval for Covid-19 vaccine could be granted by end of 2020, says Germany

The head of Germany's vaccine regulator has said the first approvals for a Covid-19 vaccine could be granted at the end of 2020 or in early 2021.

Klaus Cichutek, head of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, said regulators would not be less thorough than usual when evaluating applications for approval for COVID-19 vaccines.

Germany has said it is providing up to 750 million euros to support three domestic pharmaceutical companies developing vaccines against the new coronavirus.

Science minister Anja Karliczek said the government had already agreed to provide BioNTech and CureVac with 375 million euros and 230-million euros respectively to develop their mRNA-based vaccines."
