Kariko, BioNTech leadership to receive Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize
Hungarian-born biochemist Katalin Karikó and the founder-directors of BioNTech, physicians Ozlem Tureci and Ugur Sahin, will receive the most prestigious award in medical science in Germany, the Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize, the board of the Paul Ehrlich Foundation said on Tuesday.
BioNTech and its scientific team led by Kariko are acclaimed for the research and development of mRNA-based vaccines.
The prize comes with a 120,000 euro reward.
In a statement, the foundation said BioNTech “established a technology platform that is likely to initiate a paradigm shift in some areas of medicine”.
“The spectacularly rapid development of a highly effective vaccine against the coronavirus disease COVID-19, which has proven to play a decisive role in the worldwide containment of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, has been an outstanding success,”
the statement said.

I want to know when Kariko will get a prize for taking part in the genocide of the human race with the lethal injections being pushed upon the masses that have already killed and maimed millions of humans and sterilized many young people?
When life has become so inverted that we are awarding prizes to people for creating a vaccine that is not really a vaccine but a therapy that is adversely affecting if not ultimately killing millions of humans, we know the end times are upon us. This woman should be facing the highest courts for crimes against humanity and she will – if not by us she will by GOD for we all know that GOD wins.
I think this award is well deserved. These scientists deserve all the respect. If a vaccine against Corona had not been found, It would have been a disaster. So, respect for this lady. She has devoted her life to science, happily in America. It is a pitty that Hungary has more confidence in the Oriental vaccines.
