One interesting point of facts is that the guy owning the majority
of that vaccine company (CureVac), was one of the founders of SAP.

Ho got to much money from the SAP business, found a football club in
the fifth division, bought that and they are now in first division.
I think they call it the "plastic team" since it is just players
pulled together using his money.

It seems that he has gained a bit more respect now since he gave
Trump "the finger", more or less, the reports are telling slightly
differnt stories...
